I hope things do take on a change...

Well this is that time of the year were the season does bring some down somethings can be situation and others are just as they are. Vicky had mention a comment that did render something which I most often I am more private but the season has certainly brought on a variety of things.

I have always been one to think of the best as well as with the intention of the best. Family can be very trying at times and I seemingly I always bring myself out of this funk. I don't mind the season in fact I love this time of the year yet the family situation has been very trying. And idle time is not a good thing.

I was just off with my cousin and well he could not talk to me but I had this run around as my sister has been at it again. I had met with my doc today and he said I am in a very stressful situation and that many of th

e things are redundant as no matter what regardless of what I do I have situations with this sister which my folks are just aiding. I turn the phone off and I am finding that there is so much stress amongst them especially that they are catering to one that it's making for another Christmas which was the same likes as before.

There are functional families especially at this time of the year and then there are very not that fuctional. My sister never seems to give up with this fixation yet I don't do a thing to her and she is so protected by the family that ones hands are closed. Even while I was speaking with my cousin - I could tell he would not come out and ask but he knew that there were some things which were taking place and he lives afar and was the one which had the heart attack but is doing fine. To have a defamation of character which she goes never stops with is really something. At times with all this your hands

are tied as your asked to go and do things and after my meeting with my doc today - he said you have to know that you do have the ability to say no.

It's been rather crazed, the family was never like this and it does take away your own pathway. But that is my rant and I turn it off rather well, yet it's a fractured situation to especially be happening at this time of the year.

One could go and try to have a family meeting and have my this older sister of mine aligned with some common areas as she is getting away with everything and when and if I head over there and speak with them all - it's all within a protection of this sister. It's a repeat of what always goes on but after today I am am doing my own thing. I have seen where within mar

riages where things have gone wrong but this one has taken it's toll again. It's a repeating record which transfers over to me.

I never like to write about family but I have never seen someone so persistant in trying to damage your character and well it's just crazy. And sometime your hands are tied.

It was nice to voice this out today with my doctor and here again it's the same old same old.

Seemingly as Christmas is nearing she is getting worse and the only thing which holds me back from taking any action is that my folks are older. But still it does have an effect on you. But somehow within a self cognitive I learn to just get away form it but it's not to say that it does not have an impact.

Heck with it this is one of twelved of Horses did well - while within Wisconsin someone else of which he knows did ran his horses within the competition for him. And he is doing well - actually very well within his recovery after a the heart attack he had.

  1. How's the saying go ~ you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family? Be the better person and walk away from the drama instead of getting tangled up in it. (hugs)

  2. Yeah it was good to vent it out today and when but I this is going to be some kind of Christmas - but I only keep my peace with my this tangled sister as she has done it to many others and at some point there does need to be a change made on my side as she is fixated on me not all due to her illness but more within her maniplulative manner which might go along with her illness Vicky.

    But she gets aways with nearly anything...thus my vent. I would much rather spend my time enjoying life that some of the situations I have been going through with her. I guess it's illness combined with being very protected.

  4. Within my own way I shall. Yet it's not healthy to hold it all in and today was good to be able to talk with this fine doc of mine.

  5. This is why the holidays can be stressful. I read about your problems with your family, and agree - it is good to be able to talk with your doctor or others and just validate what you are feeling. Actually, it is good that you are aware of it. Lots of people get together and live through the discomfort, but do nothing active with it. You at least are dealing with it and see it for what it is. I wish you and your family peace during the holidays, and hope you continue to find it in a healthy way. ~ Blessings!

  6. It was the best thing I could do and he is a very sensible person and it's not just an in and out. Although he was all booked up he said he was going to schedule me in one more time this week he has called her doc. And he said that there is much stess I am within and not to think so much on the holidays as so often they do bring people down but I do enjoy them - yet with the exception to family I love to beat to my own drum.
    I worked during Christmas many of times and I never felt down about it but did enjoy pending what city I was in in meeting people.
    Thanks there Kathy...I am fine I just thought I would address why I have been offline as with the eves I do love to write.

  7. taking out the bad things when it pertains to family matters is way the best thing ... that i have learned as i aged. And friends, well, they are there ... to comfort us. Some in a good ways some, the other ways. So ... it's in the manner of waying things too. Either ways, the fall back lies in ... and looking in deeper, the last say says matters - and that ... will come to us.
    tight hugs, seemed you'd been busy w/ yoour day today, and evening now where you in, rest your tired feet from walks ... good early evening as you writes, Jack

  8. It's nice amongst friends to just vent it and tomorrow is another day. A good morning over there and all in all it was good to write on this. I don't mind it's good to speak with a friend or even a professional about this as it gets it all off your chest but these two picture are of a family from what I gather which after my cousin had his heart attack and was in hospital and then brought back. These good folks of which he knows went on with the show and ironically I recieved an email from him and tomorrow I shall find out more of the story of how things went with this competition. Yet it was decent of them to do all of this for him.

  9. You vented very mildly -- I think I like your doctor, too. And it's good to hear that your cousin is recovering. His horses are beautiful -- so large!!

  10. He is good very good.

    As well tomorrow I shall know more about the story of how these people from Wisconsin helped Delvin as that is what America is really about.
    America has always been a very community minded people from my experience.

  12. My afternoons' now are rather free Frani I decided to head out and take a few captures although we don't have snow I am awaiting my cousins call or email as there is a good story behind what took place between the folks within Wisconsin and my cousin. They are tremendous horses yet now as he is in the midst of creating a website I don't wish to breach his privacy in what he is doing.

    I think his wife Louise has been tending to much of this. I would have done more with the the pictures yet I feel that it's his property so I shall await to hear from him.

  13. aaaaaaaaaarg families.......There is always a child the parents are going to coddle, funny I said child, because this behavior never stops.....what I have learned to do is take those actions as a compliment....My parents must know that I am one who doesnt need constant approval and someone to stand up for them, for I am capable of doing that myself. And so are you Jack!! Love the horse!!!
