Cause and Effect
What happens when my stress level
is at an all-time high,
and,
I'm having a really crappy day,
and,
it's only 11am?
This-
Yes, it's almost gone.
Yes, I drank it.
And, yes, I do feel better.
Thank you.
Love Week- Day One
Our home is decked out in red and pink. There are hearts, cupids, and banners that exclaim love and my desire to possess everyone in the house. Be Mine! (I'm sort of selfish that way.) My kids get very excited for Love Week. Mostly, it's the candy. But, hopefully, they're also excited for the love notes they get each day. Hopefully, they'll tuck these little treasures in their drawers and when they see them in May or August, they'll be reassured that they are indeed loved. I try to express love for my family every day. We say "I love you" a lot. I cook them dinners and wash their laundry--little acts of kindness that say I care. But, I think we all need a little something extra every now and then. And, in this day of technology and email and facebook, a hand-written note is rare. Maybe they won't appreciate it until years later, but I cling to the hope that someday they will. As part of Love Week, I'll tell you some things that I love...
Nectar of the gods.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I went YEARS without any soda. One day you have a drink and bammm! I'm a drinker again. It's not even about social drinking anymore! ....I drink it when I'm alone too. I know, the shame. My children ask me to stop and I get angry, my husband has a look of concern when I crave washing my dinner down with a cold, one, I just can't get through the hard times with it it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI too struggle with this...I will go months without and once went an entire year....then I'm back on it again! My vice is Diet Pepsi..love it!! Especially diet Cherry Pepsi!
