Im sorry to hear there is a rift between u and ur daughter. Im not a mother so can only give a thought from your daughters perspective. Theres been times as an adult where i havnt 'approved' of my mothers actions...but it never made me love her less.
Its hard to sit back and just be there if needed as u say ... but if ye are both easy to anger then it maybe the only thing u can do for now.
Go out and treat yourself for being a good mother....dont wait for it.
If i detect a little annoyance in ur reply which wasnt meant i apologise firstly i was only offering the idea out to you instead of running with an idea you created and made my own.
If theres no annoyance then thanks for suggesting i do the same...which i may just do in time.....and thanks
Im not a well read person..i havnt read a multitude of books but would like to start. The one book i have read which was on my cirriculum at school was Roll of thunder hear my cry By Mildred D Taylor. A story of a black family living in the height of the racial discrimination in America. Told through the eyes of a child, Cassie. About her families struggles with trying to live and work under those conditions
I liked it at the time and like it now for the simple reason that its told through a childs eyes.....a child who, as they are pure and innocent , and often hold the key to how we should really live our lives ..without discrimination ..prejusdice...fear or hate.
I doubt the lesson i would have learned from it would have resonated so deeply had it been written through the eyes of an adult.
When i come across another book that i felt held its own weight like that did ..ill be sure to come back and let you know.
Have u ever thought of starting a thread where we all add a book or two to recommend. Ut might be a great idea to share some wisdom from books some may never have heard of.
Lol. Same here. But when it does i can clean the house from top to bottom...where the energy comes from i dont know.. Wish i had more of it on a frequent basis.
I agree we are the masters of our own lives and we can choose to make that either a positive or a negative one.
It takes alot of courage to look at oneself and correct any wrongs we see.....for sure...but nevertheless a worthwhile endeavour if we want to create a better world
Would be nice to think we are all doing this right now..right this minute...but sadly i doubt most will ever even dream of the concept of introspection..
I would have thought the same. Shared a house with this guy and my boyfriend for about a year.
So i saw his sleep patterns .his eating patterns and work patterns.
He just kept going.. Theres no way this guy was using any drugs either..was as straight as you get. Plus he managed to just get everything done kinda guy
Well theres no harm in sleeping when u need to...we need to listen to our bodies too. Id glady take ten hours if it was possible for me.
Yes what a waste when you think of it like that. Always envious of those who survive on 2 to 3 hours sleep. Shared a house with an insomniac..used to go on 2 hrs sleep. But always had bundles of energy. He was not the type to take anything to boost his energy either, if you catch my drift.
I get between 5 and 6 and im a zombie the following day
RE: Friends & Acquaintances
Hi CatGood to see you.
I have a select few friends and like it that way...we r there for each other and meet regularly.
Im slow to call anyone friends outside of that....they r mere aquaintances or work colleagues....
Good friends r as hard to find as a partner.
I like to treat my friendships like relationships without the obvious love or affection
