To Look on the Brighter Sides

I find the best thing to do when I feel down or something takes place is just to focus on something else. I don't wish to go into all the things of what within a given day as such makes it turn out as it does. I could say all was just great but I am sure that everyone has faced family matters and for myself, I find that rendering the best and nurturing things brings out the best. Yes I am a man but at the same time I have no apprehension when it comes to one of those days where you have been working things and both ends. I am sure that you have been there - everyone has but this was just one of those days and I find that taking that self time I rejuvenate. Sometimes within families you do feel that your pulled in all directions. I do care about my family but at the same time I do care within what I am doing.

At times as such and with areas that are pulling from both ends that last thing I wish is to have those negatives which come about. Today was one of them.

So I enjoy the good things, life is not perfect, but what one embarks on is of that very thing that creates that understanding. Family can be very trying at times where they don't come to understand that you have your own. So you muster up and do what you deem is right and sometimes that includes knowing when to say no. It's one sentence, but it works and one can't do the work of three but one can do tremendous things by the work of ones own desire.

So what I have learned is that to just know which is important and which is not. And aside of all that, it's the time of the year which is to be enjoyed. As well. So forwards I go and I leave these feels go as it's not worth the time. But then I have wrote about it so I guess today lol was one pretty hefty day all in all but so be it - I love to just move along with things and enjoy those simpler things at times as such.

My apologies for the outlet...

  1. Jack you never quite say what the matter is, you are such a private man that way. so it sounds to me like your parents or Dad rather wanted you to do something, but you had something else planned so said no...........is that it?? If that is it, you are braver then me because I have never told my parents no......lol

  3. I understand Jack I do, My mom lives with my sister in Calif and I'm sure she feels that way sometimes too, that no one else helps her with Mom. What I always do to honor my parents is what they ask of me.......because I look back at every concert, every boring program they attended to see me in........and paybacks are hell......braaaaahahahahaha.....no honestly Jack, they wont be around forever and you want no regrets on their passing.

  8. I don't fret on this stuff much Pam and it's just not of worth. Yet that was yesterday and I can relate with what you have said here and yes I am personal with some matters of my life. I don't avoid the negative, I do avoid one that has been hospitalized six times - my sister.
