I have many ideas, thoughts, and opinions I'd like to write about. I do a whole lot of book reviews, and so much more. I write about what I think, how I feel, and most of all I like to share little snippets of my writing :) I look forward to getting to know you all through this blog!
This is a really awesome and amazing post. And you thought you sucked at blogging. I had my second daughter on the see of the highway because the small town I live in only had one doctor qualified to do deliveries and she was on vacation. I went to my local hospital anyways, knowing if I was far enough calling they could send me by ambulance to the next town, an hour and a half away. Or if it was too late for that, they could deliver there.
Needless to say that didn't happen. Just 3 hours 45 minutes after labour started I was holding baby girl in the front seat of my truck with my legs still pressed against the windshield. The ambulance arrived shortly after and every turned it OK. But still one of the scariest moments of my life.
For me it is probably harder to say "i'm sorry", or "I was wrong". But I try to remind myself that saying sorry doesn't really cause you any hardship, nor does it diminish you in any way and it can go a long way to making peace with others. I still don't say either phrase as often as I should.
Hi. I feel the same way about my blogging. I have no delusions about amassing a huge following, so I figure that it's OK, for now. Maybe someday I'll try to do out there away from wdc, but for now practice makes perfect.
My daughter is only 4, but she can be like that some days. I sound like a broken record, "I'm not asking anything of you, that you can't do. I know you can do ...." "I know that you are a smart and capable girl and pretending you can't do this (simple thing) is not OK.". Well, that's on my good days, other says I'm not so patient. Remembering back to when I was a kid, I don't think 10 year olds get how important it is to try hard in school, not yet, but I think they should be starting to get it. I was a smart kid, so I didn't have to try all that hard, that's fine when you're little but you need to be challenged a little to learn the rewards of hard work. That's a lesson I didn't learn until much later. I wish I had learned it sooner, but that's life.
Chelsea, you are very right! And I am finding fulfillment in a lot of different ways, and ways I never thought I would. Sometimes it's just hard because my dreams had been set since I was a little girl, and I do miss what I trained for so long to do. I used to work with criminals...sometimes in locked settings and sometimes out in the community, but I loved working to help people prepare to have a better and more fulfilling life :) It was something I was really good at! :)
We are more than what we do. There are so many ways a person can be described. These are all a part of who we are, but no one part can describe us fully. As we grow we change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Sometimes to takes these changes to really appreciate the things we have taken for granted. Change can strengthen some relationships while letting you know other relationship aren't working as well as we would like.
I hope you find the fulfillment you are looking for in your new situation.
Glad to hear things are better after a heart-to-heart. On a side-note, "I am not a puppet", sounds like a good line for a poem. I think we all feel like that from time to time.
Luckily, you are right we had a huge talk over the weekend, and we have worked things out and discussed the things that were bothering me and him and made agreements with each other about what we want for our marriage :) It made me feel better to have this talk and to know he loves me enough to talk it out with me and be calm even when the storm is raging in us both.
I think often when people control you they start out with good intentions about wanting to keep you safe and protected and it starts with small things that are hard to see, but as time goes on those things grow bigger until it begins to have a big impact on your life. Perhaps talking to him would help? Make him see how you feel.
