Last Commented Family Blogs (544)

good morning cs community.. wishing all a blessed day ..

Every now and then we're reminded of our humble fragility, like when we feel that falling down the abyss to nothingness is the only choice we have.

It's so empowering to know, there's One out there I put my faith on and truly makes me realize my insignificance. Saving me when I feel so hopeless, which doesn't happen very often.

And despite of all the evils in this world, it's still a BEATIFUL and meaningful life.

I'm so feeling grateful after reading Non's blog.

It makes me realize, our lives is how we make it.

Please feel free to unload your down moments and comments if interested.
Thanks for your read.

Getting ready to fire up the Swedish chariot and head down to Beantown with Bravo as navigator and resident chick magnet. Four hour trip. As always, will multitask. Visiting aging mom, and taking the family women folk, who are thereabouts on vacation, for a meal and a little Fado music, at one of the region's delightful Portuguese restaurants. Will also do a litle sniffing in Boston central with Bravo. Oh, all those young coeds. But as I watch mother's life systems slowly fade, one by one, the existential truths we all face hit hard. Now bed bound, but still fully alert and remaining in her own home, with excellent family and visiting nursing help, ---closing in on a full 90 years could be much worse. When Dad left us years ago, we all knew that, as with so many 60 year unions, when one goes, the other seems to want to follow. Hope she doesn't wind up where HE may well be. Of course, I could easily be there meself someday. Aa.

I'm not going to elaborate what an unpleasant and irritating experience it is to be around pretentious people.

The worst part is that they think you believe their charade.

Well do you know how to say it without being too obnoxious that you know they are liars?

Note: I personally cut off those kinds of people. Avoid them like plague. No explanation or inviting a pose for apologies.

We're going to attend a wedding in Hawaii and it's a family thing. Now I heard from my cousin whose the bride's mother that this person whom I can't stand around me is also a god mother meaning we'll be in the same table, etc etc.

(She once asked my children why we've become cold with them but she clamped and said nothing, acted innocent and being polite). I'm actually thinking of either tell her about her lies or cancel my attendance, either one is a difficult decision.

What would you do?

Thanks all for your read or comments.

My friend, may you have a great birthday.

And more to come.

I am getting my beautiful 15 month old granddaughter for several months. My daughter is homeless and will be going to Cali to work for awhile to dig herself out of the hole she is in. No car, no job, and no home...trued to get her to come back here but babies dad is abusive and could potential be fatal to her.( PTSD) so, on the hunt for a sitter and maybe a more practical vehicle.
I also found a little puppy that got hurt by one of the horses, a little red heeled puppy, who is so very clever. But am looking I know when my cup is full...lol

Experiencing one of the most dreaded part of a relationship, at least to me, is when there's that uneasy moments of either you stay or leave.

What I notice is that the evaluation of the whole experience create a light that leads to that decision of either burning it or saving it. Depending on the weight of what preferences each party has, it comes down to the positive and pleasant experience over the bad and undesirable ones.

I have decided to stay because of the many reasons that I value most.

He gives me so much freedom and respect. He makes me laugh. He complements me sincerely. He loves my whole family and vice versa. Dependable and strong. Not that I require those per se.

He has none of the qualities I loath instead he has all the qualities that turns me on.

Thank you all for your reads and comments if any.

Note: in my previous blog, so many of you shared all your different and enlightening experiences and most of you suggested not to trust him again.
With the exemption of Luke, I think I read more in favor of dismantling the union.

Thanks all and I respect and loved sharing your great suggestions.

I made up my mind, not easy however, because he apologized so much, and very sincerely recognized how preventable it was.

May we all have a good day.

Have a great day enjoying and celebrating our independence.

May we always and forever be free.

Just had a fun exhausting night with my sister-in-laws and kids. This evening is the last day of Ramadan and I didn't get to share "iftar" with them due to busy work schedule so I decided to invite everyone to have Iftar at my place. Lots of cooking and baking...foods turned out great 6 adults and 7 teenagers including my ex=husband and his wife came over. Luckily I was done with all the cooking and baking when they arrived. Haven't seen them for some time and all were very happy to come see me. I'm the favorite aunt for all the kids so we had lots of fun dancing in between desserts Every kid had a turn dancing with me, I'm exhausted! I'm pretty close to my in-laws and I'm always part of the family even after the divorce, they are always there for me whenever I need help and I'm so happy to keep it that way

Family members who stand by each other are rare to find. I'm lucky to have them and will always treasure them

I hope you're all having a fun weekend too

and HAPPY EID to all those who celebrate
