'When the world turns its back on you.... Turn your back on the world!'
I know that for a lot of people in my life, this holiday season hasn't been going the greatest.... ! Mine Sucked!!! and then today I subjected myself to the same tourture, and got the same results... Yelled at and degraded! By my family of all things! I know that we all have probably had these situations...!
One of my old buds gave me a plaque that says "Friends ar the family you get to pick for yourself! THis couldn't be more true... Due to the treatment of my family, I really don't want to be around them.. I kinda feel obligated because my grandfather and his wife are in from out of town... I only ever see them every two years... BUt after the last events of the few days we just have, I have decided that even that is too much! It's sad but, it's the truth... THings in my life where great, before this holiday season...! And as much that I try to remind myself that they are all like this because of the added stresses of this holiday season! But even still..! I mean When I come home with tears in my eyes after spending a few hours with them, what's the point? As a good friend of mine always says, Why should I bust myself for that! Either way I am glad that this holiday season is almost over and that soon my man will be back home with me! Getting to my point, there are no rules for what is the right way to play this game of life... There fore why do we subject ourselves to situations that only wear us out? I have to learn to STOP taking care of others and to START taking car of myself... Even if that means blowing off my family! This is my life, and I only want to be happy! and I am the only one who can ensure that happens... not others! So why do I let them drag me down? My point being that sometimes are closest realitives are our closest friends.. and if something doesn't work for you change it! don't worry about the rest of the world, cause it aint worried about you! Change is the only constant and there for if you don't like something change it... I would much rather have spent that time with my friends, because my friends help incourage me instead of trying to knock me down!!!!
So here is too who's holidays sucked!
Cheers!~ From on good friend to another

Hi there,
it seems that you have developed some pessimism, which happens to everybody in life, I have a few questions have you tried to change the perception of what you see and hear and smell around you?, have you tried to let the best of you transfer to others to see if you can get a different reaction? Have you tried to find a solution to your perception remember that things are not in black or white there are many different shades in between.
Ciao young lady

I guess in someways I am pessimistice, and black white, sometimes hard for me to seperate.. It's not thta i am pessimistic so to speak, just rather quite sensical.. but there is one thing I always do no matter how pleasent or horrible the situation, and that thing, is me making the best out of each momment my motto, if I can find at least on thing to be thankful for in those situations, then i focus on that on thing no matter how horrible the current situation.... Your right life is all about preception, and it's due to our inability to dispher preception at this current time, that keeps us going arond in circles, knotting ourselfs up,,
Thanks for the post
Cheers!~

To put a lighter spin on things (and i am not trying to belittle your situation, believe me) remember:
"The only way to overcome gravity is with levity!" - Swami Beyondananda, the Yogi From Muskogee (from his recording ("Don't Squeeze the Shaman")
Swami is also the creator of "ABSURDiveness Training!" Their motto is: "Don't get even - get odd!"
Remember, in the early part of this century, the Poles shifted. So did the Czechs and the Russians! It's a New Age! SHIFT HAPPENS!
So, as you so wisely point out - if you don't like something - change it, or, to put it another way, SHIFT ON IT!
Some levity to help lighten your New Year run-up... I hope.
With another virtual hug, and a hope that you can crack a smile at some of this absurdiveness, applied here,
Lee Darrow, C.H.

Hello Amanda,
A hug from me too. Next time you spend time with your family (biological) or even think about spending time with them remember, each time somebody does or say something you consider awful or horrible you remember that you are secure within yourself and that you continue to get better and better.
Love, Stella -
