First Impressions and Instinct.

4/28/2018

Recent events have shown me that I should follow my own instincts. I am not claiming clairvoyance merely the ability to know when something is not right, and that I should stop ignoring that instinct once and for all.

Response to Being Provoked.

I moved home, and with that move came new neighbors. It seems that when I'm not sure about people I should observe from a distance instead I discovered that when I don't trust my first impression I am wrong.

It is funny to me how men will claim to be faithful to their wives, and not be faithful. It is funny how people will claim to be secure and not be secure at all, they will use you as much as they can before they throw you away. It is also amusing to me how people imagine things where none existed.

First Instincts and Other Signs

This post is one that has been several years in the making. It is not something that should be taken lightly when it enters into your life. It is about paying attention to far more than detail.

It is about paying attention to instincts when it comes to both people and situations.

Two Years to Finish Reading

2/19/2018

Yes, you read that right. It has taken me two years to finish reading a book start to finish without starting the book over. Which book is it? Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlett Letter. Yes I began reading it during the beginning of summer 2016 and just finished it today.

Realizations of A New Year

1/12/2018

2018 has begun rather interestingly. I am not sure where the time has gone but my youngest child is now eleven years old, the oldest eighteen and preparing for college. As most of you know the youngest is autistic which makes for interesting days, she is becoming more independent so she's acting more like a teenager than a child at this point.

I discovered over the last few months that some things are meant to be, and some end because you know the situation is not right for you. It is easy once you realize that you can do better without the things in your life that are hindering you from achieving what you want to achieve.

The last few months have been rather interesting. I learned a lot when I moved us home. The fact that I am still hot enough to make even those who claim not to be insecure and to be secure in their relationships insecure enough to imagine things would be the most startling of realities that I have recently experienced. The last few months are something that require examination as I look back on the events that led to this recent revelation.

Lessons From Relationships

12/8/2017

Some time back I wrote a post about the lessons that I have learned over the last twenty years. Today I decided to examine lessons 8 and 9. Never marry someone that you are not certain you want to build a life with and divorce is expensive. Let's chat shall we.

Illusions and Delusions

11/28/2017

There are those who think far to highly of themselves and those who think far to little of themselves. Neither is ideal. When you have insecure people around you nothing you do will be correct. It is worse when they claim to be Christian but I digress. This is not about religion, spirituality or the lack of either; it is about people and how they perceive those who do not meet their standard.

Insecurities in Relationships

11/19/2017

We all have relationships of some kind whether we want to or not. The problem comes in when those relationships are toxic and we do not realize it until it is to late. It is not something that should be taken lightly when it has the potential to have a negative effect on your health. Let's examine relationships shall we.

Another mess to clean up

Twenty Years of Lessons

11/1/2017

The last twenty years have taught me things that I never learned in school. The lessons make me wonder what the big deal about finish this degree or that vocational program is. So what have I learned?
