Silence is golden...

SILENCE CAN BE DANGEROUS… IT KILLS RELATIONSHIPS…. it leads to misunderstandings and differences…. when we don’t discuss things we end up making assumptions, and these assumptions cause more problems… Don’t let silence kill your love and don’t let it come in-between two loving hearts…. talk as much as you can…. discuss the things that need to be discussed…. don’t wait for the other person…. if something is bothering you, talk about it…. Never keep silent over about things that are troubling you, and the things you don’t want… never let go anything that is important to you….. talk, and discuss things and compromise… work together as a team, each giving and taking to make it all work… this time spent working it all out is much more important than just partying and sleeping together and never fixing what is wrong.

Mother's Day

Laying here thinking about Mother's Days from the past.  Once my "significant other" was asked what he got me for Mother's Day.  He simply replied that I wasn't his mother & didn't see why he should get me anything, not even a few nice words to tell me happy Mother's Day.  I've been a mother for 16 years & thinking about all of them...hearing that is what stands out more than anything.  Not saying that Mother's Day is bad for me because of that one year...just that hearing that was very hurtful. 

Mother's Day is a day to appreciate all the mothers in your life.  Your own mother, your wife or girlfriend, your sisters, grandmothers, aunts, friends...any mother.  Mothering is hard work.  Let them know they are appreciated.  Let them know you care.  And try to not say anything stupid. 

Maybe I need an aspirin?

It's been almost 2 years & I still get depressed every month that passes by.   I'm okay.  I know I am.  It just sorta sucks.
