I Love...I Live...I Laugh

What to do when you love someone so much and are truly in love with them yet you love someone else. No one can help their feelings but how do you know when to act on a feeling. Sometimes your mind and heart can be in two places at once and you don't know which way to go. This is a dilemma that a friend of mine is facing.
She has a boyfriend she's been with for 5 or 6 years and they have a house together and have shared these 5 years with plenty of TLC. There is nothing that will break them apart (at least in their minds). They live life fully as a happy couple. The only thing is she has feelings for someone she's been close friends with for years.
She feels as though its wrong for her to like this friend yet wants to act on a relationship. This relationship could possibly jeopardize her current relationship. Her acting on her feelings could end something permanent for what could be a few days of pleasure. Now my response is to play it safe and love the one you're with. She says you can't fight feelings. What do you think bloggers?

Life is like...

...A box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get -Forest Gump
Not that anything is wrong, but I just decided to blog. I have been enjoying 2010 so far and am praying it continues to get better each day. I have laughed, smiled, joked, etc since January 1. I continue to believe and have faith in God and know everything works according to his will.
I was blessed with trials and tribulations in 2009 to be blessed with the overflow in 2010. I am no longer stressing over things out of my reach. I will not continue to live in the same situation as before. I will continue to be a better person. I will continue my education. I will succeed. How has 2010 been to you so far? And what are you contributing to it to make it better?

New Year, New You, New Outlook on life!

So this is the 3rd day of the new year and what a great 3 days it has been. I started off the new year at watch night service and brought it in with the Lord on my mind. I feel I was in the right place, especially with all of the pain and sorrow 2009 brought upon me and my family. I am grateful for those trials because they helped me to grow but I am walking into my season in 2010.
It feels great to bring in 2010 with my family bonding and focusing on what's important. Life is too short for grudges and no one has the time or energy to try to remember every negative thing someone has done. Forgiveness and learning from mistakes leaves u feeling great about yourself and is the right thing to do. I'm happy we brought in the new year with a positive attitude and outlook on what 2010 will bring. We didn't make resolutions but only promises of acts of kindness and working with each other to get over the worst TOGETHER and not point the finger of blame. What are you doing to make sure you have a prosperous 2010???

This Christmas...

This was the best Christmas EVER!!! Sometimes we take so much for granted and expect so much and sometimes so little that we don't see the joy in the little things. This Christmas was so exciting because it was our first one as a family (meaning my boyfriend, our son, and I). I think it was special because everything was from the heart! Who knew such tiny treasures could bring such large pleasures?
My son really enjoyed EVERY gift he was given and we really enjoyed watching him open and play with them. Of course we exchanged gifts and I got some things I wasn't expecting at all (not a ring though hint hint lol). But I feel as though our family is truly blessed considering the test and trials we were faced with this year. It was truly difficult to start the year with a new baby and I lose my job. Living on one income unexpectedly surely took some getting adjusted to and budgeting really stepped in.
We both have faith and believe that God will make a way. We just put our full trust in the Lord and knew everything would be alright. If we had listened to comments and negative thoughts from those on the outside we would probably be without. Thank God for showing us only HIS will be done. How did you enjoy your Christmas?

The NERVE of Some People!!!

So today I go to get my nails done and of course I had my son with me for a quick minute because my mom would meet me there. I was trying to make my noon appointment because I would have to be to work by 3. Of course my mom didn't make it to the nail shop the same time as me. To me this is no biggie considering my son is not a fussy nor difficult baby to deal with. He's 8 months but he's a pleasant 8 months.
So I'm getting my nails done and decide to check my twitter account to see that the woman who owns the nail shop has a problem with me having my son with me for the few minutes he's there. Her tweet said "don't bring your baby to the nail shop PLEASE, what makes you think you could get your nails done holding a baby"...not knowing the entire situation and not knowing how much of a messy bi*+# (excuse my language) she showed herself to be. People are quick to voice their opinion without knowing details...always keep your mouth shut and your ears open....I love my nails though (no thanks to her of course)

Tis the Season...

...Or is it? I started off December wrapped in the spirit of Christmas and somehow just fell off. With a lot of people around me full of drama and hatred, its hard to keep a smile on your face. When the closest people to you begin to separate themselves from you, you start to wonder what could've caused such animosity in the first place. I've always been a friendly person, yet it seems others can't stand to see you happy.
You get many well wishes when things start going well, then its the down-talk and what was initially well wishes becomes "spite". With so many different attitudes and so-called friends and relatives weighing you down how can you truly have a Merry Christmas. We all have our problems and issues yet we take them out on others that have nothing to do with those issues. It seems one day you have yourself surrounded with the greatest people and the next they're all gone. How can it be a season of love, hope, and giving yet no one is around to participate.
No one wants to isolate themselves from others completely yet everyone isolates themselves from you. Some say you came here alone and you will leave alone so enjoy yourself. I say why not surround yourself with loving people and great friendships to make the days better. I pray for myself, my friends, my relatives, and others to build better and lasting relationships and enjoy this holiday season...HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!
