train wreck....

I had a funny post shared with me on FB today, and I took the liberty of sharing it with others.  It is funny in its delivery, but has a serious undertone to it. It is as follows:


BREAKING NEWS: The Pity Train has just derailed at the intersection of Suck It Up & Move On, and crashed into We All Have Problems, before coming to a complete stop at Get the Heck Over It. Any complaints about how we operate, can be forwarded to 800-waa-waa with Dr. Snivill. Reporting LIVE from Quitchur Bitchin'. If you like this, re post it. If you don't...suck it up princess!!!


The derailment at the Suck It Up & Move On intersection is just the crash we need to make us do the "pause" I mentioned in the other days blog.  If we didn't have that mishap, we may be destined to be on a runaway train of poor pitiful woe is me.

That crash into "we all have problems" needs to be the red flashers that warn you of impending danger if you go further with this behavior.  You are not unique in your pain, suffering, trials, errors, let downs, worries or roadblocks, so stop acting like you are the only one experiencing the problems!


The complete stop at "get the heck over it", says just what it means...STOP expecting special attention for your being done wrong...Move on!  There is nothing magical, cute, attractive or seemingly martyrdom about constant complaining, crying or pouting to make someone feel guilty because you are angered, hurt or mad.  Now I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't share your feelings with someone, because talking to another close friend who listens is important; but don't make misery your constant companion, or it will be your ONLY companion!  Your REAL friends will tell you about it, your family will think it, but be too scared (or cowered by your guilt trip) to say anything, and your spouse or significant other will only agree to get you to stop!

I'm sure we have all engaged in these pity parties at one time or another, but the thing we don't realize is that those parties are not very well attended.  No one is fighting to get on the "invite" list, there are no long lines waiting around the corner to get in, and its usually not broadcast by anyone (other than the host/hostess) about how it was the party of the century.

Only human after all...

Some days you just don't feel like being in a good mood.  You may not have a name for it, there may or may not be a reason, and it may or may not relate to any one person.  You just don't feel like being in the happy place!

Your smile has left, your joy has pained, your ups have become downs and your good has turned bad.  These are the times when you just want to sit, by yourself, alone with your own thoughts, your own feelings and your own pity.  You don't necessarily need another person to share in your pity, you just want to dwell in it alone.

But these are precisely the times when you need someone around.  Someone who can bring that smile back, make you remember that joy, and bring those good times back into focus.  It may be your best friend, it may be your co-worker, your parent or it may be your spouse; but whomever it is that is there and present, that is who gets to be "your" person.
It is not your job to do anything other than "BE" at that moment.  Be yourself, be your feelings, be your heart and be present.  Nothing else is required at that time, because God has you taken care of.  He has your needs at that certain time, being taken care of, and He will not leave you alone.
Our job is to just let go!

When we let go of all the facades we wear each and everyday, we may be amazed at the real "us" that we unmask.  The little girl who longs for her daddy, the young man who just wants his mothers hug, or the young kid who just wants to belong to someone. Whatever the circumstances may be, our outward selves reveal through our different actions and choices, what our inner selves are holding onto .  Whether right, wrong, good, or bad, we are reflections of what we long for.

hit pause...II

Is there ever a time in your life that you pause and stop to think, __________?  You can fill in whatever your thought may be at a certain time, and go from there.  It doesn't matter what the thought may be, but only that it hit you at a time in your life that caused you to take a pause.

We all need to take a pause in life, step back, review and re-evaluate our lives and the actions we are taking towards a certain goal or outcome.  Time to make sure that what we are doing is relevant to who we are, or who we are trying to become.  This pause is wanted and needed in our lives, and usually occurs at just the right time.  Usually on our arrival at a fork in the road of life.  A time when we need to slow down, look at the different paths and make an important decision, not just travel along as usual.

When your moment of pause hits and you ask yourself YOUR all important question, whatever it may be, make sure you are praying, listening, observing, evaluating and acting in the direction that God leads you.
