Remembering

Who hasn't known someone with military background? I surely have!  All my long gone uncles served in WW Two.  So many personal friends were in Korea, Viet Nam, and Iraq/Afghanistan/Middle East and etc...

I wish to pay homage to those I have cared about who suffered and served so greatly in their individual capacities.

WISDOM AND KINDNESS VS. THE OPPOSITE

 

 

Some of us were raised by kind, wise people.  Some of us were not.  At a time in my own personal  life when I will not put up with mean, abusive, arrogant, destructive people, the presence of kindness and wisdom is most inviting.  Perhaps being disgusted with quite a lot in America at this time is part of this writing.  The rudeness, lying, stealing, inept performances and insults in politics is merely one current example!!!!!

The violence against people and animals and our ecology, hurts my heart and soul. Yes, I am a very sensitive person. 

How do you feel about....

"WISDOM AND KINDNESS VS. THE OPPOSITE?"  Are you blasé about it. Are you involved in trying to make things better?

Please when replying, no foul language. 

Thanks. Dr. Y

 

 

PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT YOU IN THEIR LIVES

 

Have you been trying to hold onto some people who do not want you in their lives?

Do you feel frustrated by the whole experience?

My wonderful friend Darlene Arden used to use a phrase that I love!  SCREWEM!!!

If it's not meant to continue, why struggle with people who simply don't want you around?

 

When I was a child, my primary caretakers did not give me wise training or HEALTHY role models.

I believed that it was more important to be liked than to have my own opinions.   As an older teenager,

I REBELLED! Neither was wise or right for me.

It has taken me eons to learn the following: 

IF YOU DONT WANT ME IN YOUR LIFE, THEN,

I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY LIFE!

NO NEED TO BEG, DO FAVORS, BRIBE, CHASE AFTER WITHOUT BEING RESPECTED AND LOVED. 

People have their own agendas. Some are so busy with today's insane lifestyles, they have no time for you. Some think you are too poor/rich for them and shun you. Some think they are too smart to be near you, or make any effort to communicate.  This really is their right to do.

 

It is also my right and yours, to say... "Enough is enough! I no longer wish to try."

For those of you who go away with something of value from this heartfelt blog, I am so happy to have made a positive addition to your lives.  For those of you who couldn't care less about my sincere thoughts and feelings, go in peace!

I did my best, and sometimes, my best simply is not good enough for everyone!
