Lindsy dear one ,just a bit of advice that had I some of this venom Generally it's not worth arguing with an a--hole. Insofar as it is possible, you really need to get people like that out of your life, or at least put them in a constrained box that doesn't require relying on their better nature. If you can't, you need to put them in a very bounded box, knowing that they will try, repeatedly, to get out, which means you can never let your guard down. Never, ever forget that the times they touch base with reality are temporary and happenstance.
A lot of the psychic payoff for that kind of person comes from always being right and many of them enjoy status, too, which affords the opportunity to always be "right"
My dear Gentlejim I have never been in that situation where I only had one parent around although they were both alive,but People always say that their children are their priority during a divorce as they are each dealing with their own issues – separation and the retaliation of suddenly being alone. Parents want to be there for their kids. So for you it must be the most wonderful thing in life to still have a good relationship with your children May you have a blessed Christmas and many more with a family that I am sure loves you dearly
Viking I am misunderstood many a time. I might come across at times being too abrasive,but I only speak from what I believe to be the right way of treating all human kind. Now, however, it’s difficult to shut me up.Talking is a vital means of expressing, sharing and conversing. It’s at the heart of friendships and relationships. It puts words to feelings in our cores and allows us to share what’s happening in our minds and let others in to our worlds. Ideas transform to spoken words to form speeches that can inspire and motivate countless people. Our voices allow us to agree, disagree, compliment and ask questions. Your words can have amazing effects on others, even if it’s only one person. A simple “hello” in passing can make someone’s day, or even just a “thank you” when you really mean it.
Relationships are essential if you want to live your life to the fullest. In fact, relationships should be your top priority. That’s why we all need to learn how to build good relationships. Good relationships not only help us meet our needs but also make our life more fulfilling. Both sides see the relationship as an opportunity to give Both sides are willing to change.Both sides are willing to admit mistakes.Both sides are willing to listen first.Both sides support each other.Both sides are open to each other. Both sides have integrity. Relationships that have these characteristics will grow stronger over time. The relationships will be rewarding not just for the people involved, but also for the people around them
I truly believe that if you live in the past ,you will never ever be able to rid yourself of the chains that tie you down to past happenings,be it a death or loss of relationship What is amazing about this understanding is that it shows you that the way out of your suffering is always in the present. You can change your perspective – now, focus on something different – now, feel your feelings – as they are right now.A memory is a thought, and a thought has no power or meaning whatsoever, unless you give it power or meaning. You have many thoughts about things that happened long ago, and these thoughts cause no problems. But some thoughts are sticky. You have an emotional reaction to them and you think them over and over. You may even have beliefs related to them, for example, “I am justified in thinking this” or “I need an apology so I can move on.” This keeps them very much alive, affecting your ongoing experience now.
Rapp The relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing, and meditation can help. Since it’s impossible to be anxious and relaxed at the same time, strengthening your body’s relaxation response is a powerful worry-busting tactic.It is a difficult situation but you can try easing it. Start by identifying the frightening thought, being as detailed as possible about what scares or worries you. Then, instead of viewing your thoughts as facts, treat them as hypotheses you’re testing out. As you examine and challenge your worries and fears, you’ll develop a more balanced perspective.
For me I will be very honest to say I miss the special person in my life to be able to say I love you. This person is hard to find besides my immediate family "Can you say 'I love you' too much? How can I make my partner believe that you can not overuse the 'I love you' term. He says if we say it too often, it will become meaningless."There are many different reasons why someone may not want someone telling them "I Love You" all the time. Whether you have this challenge in your relationship or not--we invite you to express genuine love for one another in many different ways and explore what's possible. Make sure that your words and your actions are in alignment as you move through your day toward creating the life that you want.
I am by no means whatsoever saying you are not allowed to have the "HOLIDAY" as it should be seen by those being Non believers ,but as a very important time for us that believe in Christianity. For Muslims, I think this poses less of a problem, since they do accept Jesus as a prophet while rejecting the belief in his divine nature.JMO
So glad someone sees right through this message as I am starting to think" Holy Cow" is it only I that feels this way. Not only have they degrees but they have studied in all aspects of life."GIVE ME A BREAK".When your mind lets you down I suggest it is time to go on early retirement.
Hi Ed pleased to know you enjoyed your Christmas lunch at the church.It is 11:30 at night in South Africa and I just got home from feeding the children in the rural area in Mandela scatter camp. It was so heartwarming to see those hungry eyes and then the expression as they devoured the food.Tomorrow I will be at the orphanage to help with their Christmas service then lunch afterwards.Have yourself a very happy Xmas
This is how I try to deal with the fear of the unknown Fear is a problem, because it can damage everything in life. It ruins your productivity, destroys your dreams, and keeps you from building the business you're trying. Fear should never erase your goals. As real as fear is, your “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”goals and dreams are just as real and just as big. And the best way to change those beliefs is to change the thoughts that shape them.Be accountable to yourself first before others. We all tend to be too abstract about our fears, and are unaware of what is ultimately holding us back from reaching our goals. Look fear in the eye,Don’t let the fear overpower you. It’s never too late to face your fears and inch closer to your goals and dreams. If you’re trying hard not to fail and getting nowhere out of fear and frustration, try doing something you love first.By immersing yourself in your passions you’ll open up your mind to more opportunities for success.

The best part for me is midnight mass ,Then on Xmas day I will be out there feeding the poor and giving out some gifts to the old age village.Turkey will not be on the menu unfortunately unless some rich farmer in Cape Town wants to donate to the voluntary workers to prepare
Gentlejim I rolled over in a bed of crumbs and became quite flaky.Now I am more crusty than ever,and let off an aroma of vanilla essence That contaminated the butter and cream
I am a great follower and believer in Kundalini Yoga Kundalini Yoga for the 6th Chakra (The Third Eye) The 6th Chakra is also known as the Third Eye and Ajna. Ajna means, “Command Post” and it is the seat of intuition located at the brow point. The Ajna is associated with the pituitary gland which is the master gland that regulates the rest of the glands,Chakras are energy centers in your body and when they are out of balance it can contribute to mental and physical illness. Kundalini Yoga teaches you how to allow your energy to rise through your chakras.I find that when I am stressed out to a point of no return,I go into the garden where there is peace a quite. Always remember that in life, we aren’t set up for failure. The universe will provide all the tools and resources needed to get through any block. We just need to stay conscious and observe.
I spent my childhood in a convent as my dad was in the permanent force.My mom was in the medical field so they thought it best that we be in a place of education,religious instruction and discipline. I must say I did not regret this as I was a real bookworm and was always interested in different cultures and the way other people lived their lives.My best days were the days that we were allowed to watch my dad a Springbok rugby player and Captain play against other countries,it was a day when picnic hampers were made and everyone came together including some of my best friends and their families.My inspiration came from my dad to become a Western Province hockey player with colors to match

Lindsy dear one ,just a bit of advice that had I some of this venomGenerally it's not worth arguing with an a--hole. Insofar as it is possible, you really need to get people like that out of your life, or at least put them in a constrained box that doesn't require relying on their better nature. If you can't, you need to put them in a very bounded box, knowing that they will try, repeatedly, to get out, which means you can never let your guard down. Never, ever forget that the times they touch base with reality are temporary and happenstance.
A lot of the psychic payoff for that kind of person comes from always being right and many of them enjoy status, too, which affords the opportunity to always be "right"
