I have used several quotes over the past month about being positive, and I have done that because I think too many people only focus on the negative. I find that I also get caught up in the negative parts of my life, so I am trying every day to find the positive things about the day and focus on those things. I find that I have to take a few minutes every couple of hours and remind myself of the positive things in my life. I know if I do this long enough it will become second nature and I won’t have to work so hard it.
What do you think of this week’s quote by Matt Cameron?
I really loved this quote when I saw it because it is so true. When I think about the people who are hero’s to me they tend to be soldiers or cops who in the end lost their lives because they were protecting everything that I love about this country.
What do you think of this weeks quote by Joseph Campbell?
I was going to write something for the writers workshop but instead of doing that I am just going to write some of the thoughts that I have had over the past little while so that I can get them out of my head. I am sure they won’t make much sense but I will try to explain a bit about what and why I am thinking them. Anyway I am just going to make a list of them so you can just skim them if you want to.
The main thing that has been on my mind for the past few months is how both of my parents can write off their own children & families. I have seen that I can do the same thing but I don’t think I could do this to my daughter when she grows up and wants to meet me. I will never truly understand how they can and how I can just turning feelings off for a person and never look back. I do think of people again but not enough to make me seek them out. I just keep on going on and while I kind of understand that with friends I have no idea how a parent can just stop caring about their child.
The next thing that has been on my mind is why people still lie because let me be honest like the quote I posted on Monday people can’t remember all lies they tell so they always get caught. My dad told a few lies about me last year or the year before and since I found that out I have no need to have him in my life. I am sure he will end up alone and sad because he just can’t seem to tell the truth and he hasn’t figured out that he always get caught when he lies. There have been more lies told by him than I could ever list so now I just assume everything he says is a lie.
I have wondered if two people can be so connected that without having talk to each other for 3 plus years that you still know when they are struggling and when they need you or someone to lean on.
Those are the three things that I have been on my mind for that past few months and I hope now that I have written them down that maybe I can stop thinking about them as much.
I had a doctors appointment on Monday June 8th and I wanted to write a short update about that appointment and also an update about how I have been feeling lately. I also decided as I was writing this post that I wanted to include just a general life update because I am truly struggling with things right now. I can’t tell everything that is bothering me but I will tell what I can and maybe I will still write what is going on and password protect those posts and if you want to check them out you can email me and I will give you the password for them. Anyway lets get on to the MS update because that is the easiest and quickest part of this post.
As I said before I had a doctor’s appointment Monday afternoon with my neurologist. I hadn’t had an MRI or anything since I saw her last but she does like to see me every so often because of the medication I am on and things like that. I haven’t been feeling the greatest lately but there is nothing that can really be done about that because I just don’t feel well. My headaches are getting bad again which totally sucks because I went so long without having them or at least not having super bads one. I know that the reason I am having them is because of allergies and also just the stress of life. I have an MRI in August and I don’t have to see the doctor again until December so that will be nice.
Now on to the life crap that I am willing or able to talk about. I have no idea where to start or what I even want to say. I guess the first place to start is with the fact that the daughter I placed for adoption will be 10 this year and I am honestly not sure where the time went. It has also been a hard year this year when it comes to dealing with the adoption and I am not sure why this year has been so hard for me.
Another thing that has been hard for me this year is family things and usually I don’t really care what goes on with family members but this year that has changed for me. What is funny about it all is that what I am sad about didn’t even happen this year and to be honest I am not sure why it is now bothers me like it is. I am sure it is because of everything else going on that is making all the little things in life that usually don’t affect me hard for me to deal with right now.
Anyway that is all I can think of right now so I am going to leave it like this.
This weeks quote is by Abraham Lincoln and it talks about living your life while you are alive.
I loved this quote when I saw it because I know it is true. I think as we get older we forget to live our lives and not just exist. I find myself getting stuck with just going day by day and not really enjoying or doing anything other than existing. I now try to take a step back and try to live in the moment but I can be and is hard to do.
This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about 1.) Share something you learned in February. There are quite a few things that I learned during the month of February. The biggest thing I learned during February was that you should never take a day for granted because you never know when it will be your last day.
The company I work for had one of the ladies in our accounting department pass away suddenly and that made me realize that I need to stop taking every day for granted. I have noticed that for the last few years I have just taken for granted that tomorrow is another day but I came to realize this month that I can’t take that for granted anymore.
Another thing I learned this month is how much time sucks. I say that because I always hear that time will heal and let me tell you that time hasn’t really healed anything. I wrote about how I am feeling this month about placing my daughter if you missed that post you can click here to check it out. I had hoped that at almost 9 years later I still wouldn’t be struggling with placing her. I know that I will never forget but I had hoped that it would get easier with time and it hasn’t gotten any better.
Those are a couple of things that I have learned during the month February.
