One Christmas Wish At A Time.

Christmas is a time for joy. It's a time to celebrate the birthday of the main man up stairs. It's a time to be with your family and friends and really enjoy each others company and love for one another.

I can safely say that I am truly blessed for everything that I have. Although I have had a lot of things going on,I can say I am one of the luck ones. I know though that there are some people that are not as lucky as I am,but hopefully that can change.

See this year I am helping out with a Christmas event for children that will go around their Christmas tree on Dec 25 and find nothing under there,or nothing in there stocking. I know Christmas is not just for the gifts,so please don't get me wrong but for a child that is sup post to be a magical time.

This event is going to be so those children can actually look forward to Christmas day. I am getting donations for place to donate candy,or toys and just anything possible to make a child smile this year and well as there parents. We are not asking for anything big this year just anything really.

Actually,what I have found out is more and more people and business are opening up there hearts and wallets to lead a helping hand this year,I couldn't ask for anything more.

The reason that I am helping out for this event this year is because I know that I am truly luck on Christmas day,and all I can say is that I want to help give someone else a blessing this year. I figure if I can make just one child's Christmas miracle this year than maby someone will have an amazing Christmas. So if you can let's spread some Christmas love this year.

The Turn Around.

Life has it's up's and it's downs now doubt about it. We all have those times where we just feel like the world has just turned it's back on us. Like we feel like no one in the world will understand what we are going through. Well,tonight I had one of those night where I felt like the world someone just wanted me to have a bad day,or so I thought.

Like I said we all have those bad days,sometimes you just can not help it.But why is it that until recently I find myself to come into contact with more and more people that just well,for the better lack of words who's attitude "Suck". I can understand maby having one day that you just want to be left alone. Trust me I have had those days,as we all have,but all the time come on now. I mean me give me a brake. It's like some one has rained on there parade and the sun is not coming out anytime soon.

I have the best example for this post today. Something that I have been wanting to share with someone and no one will listen so I am just writing."That's what's a blog is for,right".

Anyways, today I found myself with a similar situation. Today when at work I had to come into contact with a person that was just stubborn. She was just one of these people where nothing pleased her,and instead of trying to work out her problems like an adult she decided to take it out on everyone else. When she tried to take out her problems out on me I just decided that after she got done yelling at me for what ever she wanted to yell at me about, I was not going to let her " Rain on my parade".

I was not going to let this lady bring my day down,not after I was having a GREAT,GREAT day. Actually,instead of getting mad like I wanted to do, I decided to do just the opposite,I was going to Kill her with kindness. To make a long story short,it was making this lady more upset because I was being kind to her and I wasn't going to let her bring me down.

That what we all need to do when we know that someone is trying to make us mad,or when we are in a difficult situation. We need to kill them with kindness. Don't let some one bring you or anyone else down just because they are having a bad day. Instead turn it around and just tell your self that you are going to have a good day no matter what even if you feel like telling someone to just go jump off a Cliff like I wanted too.

It's All How You Look At It.

I have always been blessed enough to have not only loving but very bright, well educated people in my family. We are always trying to figure out things and study things for what they are.

There are times where we do forget things or when people get older and they forget things but,that is going to happen it's natural. The thing that I am so amazed at, is how much not only older people but even younger people can remember things that happen years ago but then forget what people tell them as soon as it's told to them.

Just like my Great Grandmother(God rest her soul) on my mom's side and also my other Great Grandmother on my father's side. My grandmother on my mom's side I am sad to say we lost her February of 09,but when she was alive she could recall things that happen back into the 1900's. It was truly amazing.

You could show her a picture and ask her questions about it and she could tell you where it was taken and who was in it and maby the date and who was taken the picture. The funny thing is that though she could tell you all that but could not tell you her name or who anybody else was.

My grandmother on my father side does that as well and still to this day. She can plan out our family tree and tell you who people were and our but if you tell her something she probably forget it.

So why is it that people can tell you something that happen years ago but anything that happen now?It's just so amusing to me how we tend to remember things like that. I just hope when I am my grandmother's age I have half the mind that they did and still do to this very day.

Time To Celebrate.

Labor Day.A time to celebrate and thank those who do work their butts off night and day for us. It's a time we can reflect on our jobs past and present and thank god that we have jobs. At this stage in life we better all thank god that we have a job,because in a lot of the world there are people that have a job and don't get any appreciation at all or do not have a job at all.

I got a new job just 4 weeks ago to this day and I just love it. I have had jobs in the past but nothing like what I am doing now. See my job is the best,I get to work with people and meet new people each and everyday. For a person that always liked to be by her self as a child this is way outside my shell for me and is helping me conquer my fear of being around a lot of people.

See I believe that I do have the best job in the world. I say that because I have always wanted to help people. Even growing up, my family told me that I needed to be something in life that got to help people . So,now that I am finally grown I did just that. See I work In a nursing home. It may not seem like a great job to everyone else but to me it is so rewarding. It is something that I love to do. I love to help all the older people when they need it or just sit around them and read to them or talk to them if they need a friend.

I think that secretly it comes from when my great grandparents on my moms side when they were still alive or when I would go down and talk to my great grandfather and grandmother on my dads which I still do. I still talk to my grandmother but her husband has passed on now. and I do have grandparents on my dads side that are both still alive.See I told you all that we had lost my grandmother in February of 2009 last year. I still miss her like crazy like I miss everyone else that we have lost over the years but I still remember when I would go up to here house. All she wanted was for someone to sit and talk to her in fact that is all she ever wanted. So I believe that is part of the reason why I love this job so much.

I think another reason why this job is so important to me is because it really gets me out of my shell and into the world.It gets my feet planted steady on the grown and gets me something to look forward to each and everyday. Like I said, to some people this may just seem like any old job,but to me it's a wonderful job that I love.

At this time I would like to send a special note out to everyone that has a job and everyone that is looking for a job. Also I would like to send a special not out to the men and women fighting for our rights and freedom We may not say it enough but your work is very much appreciated and very much thought of.

Happy Labor Day Everyone.

Update Story.

So yesterday I wrote a post called "The Mad World". In it I talked about how bad of a day I was having and just complaining about my life.I have had time to think that post over and the more I thought about it, the more I realized all I was doing was feeling sorry for myself, which didn't help my problem at all.

I mean I don't know what came over me. Yeah, everyone has their bad day, and everyone is going to have a bad day once in a while,but what I have learned and though more of is that when you have a bad day you should not dwell on it and just let it go. So today, I decided that I was going to make the best out of today,no matter what happened.

As far as the problem that I was having with my friends, I decided to talk to them and to tell them how I feel. I mean I just thought that they should know how they hurt me. One of my friends made up with me. We just both agreed that it was stupid to fight and now we are friends again. I told her that I did not want one little think to end a friendship that has lasted for a very long time and because our friendship is something that is very near and dear to me. As for the other friends,well we still got some things to work out,but I am sure that our friendship will get stronger over time.

Like I said,I am going to make the best out of today and everyday from now on,It doesn't mean that I will never have a bad day again,but it means that next time I know how to embrace it and make it into a good day. I figure life is what you make it,and it can be good or it can be bad,but only you can decide that for yourself,no one else can make that choice for you. So now I am just going to take life day by day and handle one thing at a time.

PS:I want to think everyone that commented on my post yesterday,and for the kinds words that were said. Thanks.
