Weather

I love weather. I love snow, rain, thunderstorms, tornados..etc... Mother Nature is a goddess. She should be celebrated. She helps with the renewing of the earth. Helps keep it clean and shiny. Days that are clear and bright are ok, but I prefer gray days. They are always a surprise because you never know what might happen....will a thunderstorm suddenly build up....will a nice quiet spring rain fall? Who knows? That's why it's called weather...they don't know weather it will or weather it won't!!!

Attitude

Have you ever noticed that you could wake up in a great mood and someone can have a bad attitude and it screws up your good mood? I wonder why that is. Why do we allow others to dominate the 'mood' in a room? We should 'own' our mood. I pledge to myself to keep my mood good regardless of someone else's mood. If I wake in a bad mood then I will attempt to better my mood, but if that doesn't work, then I will attempt to keep my bad mood to myself and not allow it to affect another's mood.

Can't make everyone happy

I am sorry that I can't make everyone happy all the time, but it seems that the more upset one gets, the more selfish they are. If you are upset that is fine, but there is no need to upset everyone around you just because you are mad at one person. You are not the only one on this earth and there are other people in your vicinity that have nothing to do with why you are angry. Do not think you are the center of everyone's world. Anger is like a virus, it is contagious and can cause a lot of problems if allowed to spread. If you are angry, go to another room, away from everyone, and process your anger so you can then join the rest of the party and enjoy yourself. Don't bring everyone else down around you. If the person that upset you is in the room, learn to separate yourself from that person until you can calmly deal with them. Until then, just keep your anger from spreading to someone else. If you need to talk, pick a friend and ask them for help, don't just start venting without warning.

First Blog

This is the first blog I have ever typed. I hope this blog is meaningful to someone other than myself and helps others in some way. I am just a working mother of 3 teenage girls. I am doing better than a lot of people thought I would since I was a very young mother, but I am not doing as well as I would like to be. This blog is made to help me keep my thoughts and ideas organized and hopefully someone will find something useful from my rambling.
