((Now, off to CALIFORNIA!))

When everything seems to hit the fan, it is very hard to keep positive and see the lights at the end of the tunnel.
But, with a lot of hard work, perseverance, and the stubbornness to continue through all those tough times, you can make it!  Don’t give up once things turn ugly, just look at it in a different light. Maybe you were meant to learn something from the situation.

I choose to think positive, to a fault sometimes, but I refuse to see everything negatively. That’s why when someone is outright cruel to me, or hurtful, it really affects me for years to come.

Remember, if you ever tell someone something that you regretted saying later, you owe them an apology. Bite your pride and learn to keep your anger or anxiety to yourself because honestly, everyone else is just muddling through life and your harsh words could send them over the deep end.

But, if you say something like, “I’m having a really horrible day, and I might be snappy or hurtful to you, but don’t take it personally,” it may really help someone out who may have been hurt by something you said previously, that wasn’t really meant in their direction, but it got picked up that way!

So, the next time you act as if the world is going to come to an end because something you didn’t want to happen, did- just remember it’s a phase and you’ll pass through it just like you passed through everything else…

Often times people are so set in their ways, they often don’t use the proper responses to when someone is helping them or doing something to aid them, and it isn’t to their liking.  They immediately jump on what the person may or may not be doing wrong, compared to the way they would have done it.

I consider it quite rude for someone to criticize another person, although they are attempting to help with the situation (whatever it may be).  Let them do it their own way, while they watch you do it your way and they’ll eventually learn the whole thing and how you want it to be.

But, when you go out of your way to make them feel an inch tall, they might not even offer to help you or anyone else again.

Case and point, I recently helped a relative cook dinner.  I do it a bit differently that this person does it, but I was criticized and somewhat humiliated because I didn’t do it the “right way”, which of coarse was “their way”.  Never mind you that I have a Culinary Degree, graduating at the top of my class, or that I have years of Culinary experience before and after Culinary school.  Nope, I just didn’t do it right (in their eyes).

But then, when a third party came in and saw the result of what we had both cooked,  she looked at the food I had prepared versus the food that the other person prepared, then she criticized the other person’s food. Then the accuser felt the sting of harsh words and criticism, but I thought she needed a little taste of her own medicine, so I sat back in bliss.

Karma- what goes around comes around…

All too often people are under stress or dealing with a situation they’d rather not be in, that seems to fray their nerves and leave them open for completely having a meltdown once the smallest things happens. But then when someone does something that doesn’t strike their fancy, even if it’s the slightest little thing, they seem to go off the deep end.

They scream, shout, curse, say horribly hurtful things, and it is just plain ugly. Once the problem has passed, the offender usually is back to their perky selves, but the person who was verbally attacked, still has to deal with the pain they felt because of all the hurtful words being flung at them.

If you or someone you know is angry, just leave them alone until they can get over their little “hissy-fit” and then when they are back to their “normal” personality, you can ask them what was wrong and go from there.

My advice is to stay as far away from people who are extremely angry and seeing red, so that you spare yourself the grief and speak to them when their minds are back on the track to sanity not insanity.

Just my opinion, but think about it next time before you blow up on innocent bystanders, because you wouldn’t want the tables turned and someone to attack you for no good reason, now would you?

Sometimes people choose to shield other relatives or friends from the truth, for years on end. But, in fact those people deserve to hear the truth and not have information withheld from them, in order to move on with their lives.

I know a lot of unanswered questions lead to confusion and a lot of feelings left frayed at the end.

When people listen to only one side of the story, they are really shortchanged and they have no idea about the FACT of things, but only know of  that one version of the “truth”.

I have recently found out some things that I hadn’t previously known and it is a vast difference than the things I was always told.  It leaves me a little confused and shocked by the lack of honesty on the part of one party.  I feel cheated and brainwashed, quite frankly.

It’s going to take me quite some time to sift through the years of lies I’ve been told, and try and accept this new version of the “truth”.

But, I think every person deserves to hear two sides to every story. As much as the information hurts or doesn’t hurt, it’s important to let everyone have the opportunity to know all the details involved and go from there.

So, if you’re someone seeking the truth or someone who has been shielding someone you know from the truth, remember that the decision you make is pivotal and will possibly cause a lot of happiness or grief (on the other hand), depending on what you choose to do.

So, CHOOSE to take part in making someone’s life better and clarifying things for them, instead of causing a lot of pain to someone and leaving the person with a lot of unanswered questions.

You are the key to making a difference…
