So, my mind is so bogged down with thoughts…

So, I can’t focus because I haven’t been writing down my thoughts and opinions and experiences on the regular. I mean 5 months without blogging was torture mentally! I started writing poetry in a journal again for a couple of … Continue reading

I have been talking to my friend on the phone that I found out was married a week ago. Again, the relationship over social media and other communication means was not inappropriate in nature.But, because the person is married and … Continue reading

I don’t know how it happens, but sometimes I feel like though I have been friends with someone for a long time, I tend to be the outside part of the inner circle.  I am no longer the needy person … Continue reading

I really have not had a best friend in a long, long time. I kinda thought I did a few times. But I haven’t had that giddy feeling of waiting to call someone to tell them about something amazing/depressing/frustrating outside … Continue reading

So, I am not waiting until the New Year to change…

We all say we are done with people or situations at some point in our time. But I really am. I am the kind of person that goes above and beyond. All of the time. For people who I am cool with, my ex sister-in-law’s kid, for pretty much everyone in my life.

But don’t you think that the more you do for some people, the more they take you for granted? So, I have decided I am done. I am not going out of my way for people anymore. I am going to pull back a lot. I will not send continuous texts to see if people are coming to my kid’s play, or if they want to meet up for a winery, etc.

I have worked hard on my health and fitness this year. I have tried to work on my relationship with God as well. So, now I am going to take a HUGE step back and look at my relationships with people. In doing that, I can make more time to earn money and more time to see who is there for me.

Sound crazy? Read Maximize the Moment by T.D. Jakes. He lays it on the line about people. Just because someone is Christian doesn’t mean they have to be a doormat for people. I would read the book, but I lent it to someone and never got it back.:) See, what I mean about my crappy friends?

Anyway, I am still thankful and blessed and focusing on positive things. Sometimes narrowing one’s scope in life can really bring a lot of revelation. So, hopefully my path will be revealed during my hiatus from Facebook and from people in general, except of course my close family and cat:)

Have a blessed Saturday and a restful Sunday!
