Feeling Peaceful...

,

I am up later tonight because I have been waking up at 3 and 4 and 5 in the morning for some odd and unexplainable reason. So tonight I am still up and it is almost 10 pm! NOT normal for me.

Today I talked for a long time to a good friend of mine. I always try to see the best in others but REST ASSURED people, this person is WHO THEY REVEAL TO YOU! If a person proves to be selfish, BELIVE THEM. If a person reveals to be what they are then BELIEVE THEM and don't let them hurt you over and over. And if you are going to ALLOW this person to remain in your life, then be ready for the stinging truth on their personality.

This is a fault of mine....I keep negative energy around me sometimes...maybe not on purpose, but by a personality fault of my own. God let me not keep them.....

I have also been thinking about this blog lately. I think, "Why did I start this blog?" "What has this blog evolved to?" "Am I keeping it as I originally planned?" I know that some things will automatically evolve into their own 'thing' or almost living being on it's own....but I am trying to keep control of this journal and not do what I think others will like, but yet, what I enjoy.

So what do I enjoy?
I enjoy my hobbies.
I enjoy my family and kids.
I enjoy time spent with friends.
I enjoy wine...and coffee...
I enjoy cooking for my family.
I enjoy laying in the sun...like a cat. lol

I promise to keep true to writing about MY life and what is going on with my hobbies, children, family, etc. I feel so much in love with my blog, that I am afraid of losing it. Is it possible?

Today I laid out again in the sun...I wrote a poem and also thought about the Amazing Grace song that I have recorded and still not uploaded to the blog. I burned a strawberry scented candle all day today, I did laundry and over filled the machine a bit because I am sick of doing laundry for the whole family and just want it DONE!

Only to notice that....laundry is NEVER completely finished.

I did dishes....3 loads of dishes. Just like most mothers...the same things...day after day after day....I celebrate you women! I celebrate your courage, your not being lazy, your love of your family...I celebrate you.

Women...be happy that you are a woman. Take a deep breath and breathe in the world around you. The world around you should be so jealous that you are women. That you have breasts, and ovaries, and a vagina. Something that some men LIVE for. Be calm and know that ...you have what they want...my ladies. lol Be happy! Smile and have peace.

We, as women, do so much each day. We are cooking, cleaning, working, stressing unnecessarily over our family...our parents...our children...feeling the world on our shoulders. And doing it EACH and EVERY day.

Thank God the kids are asleep now. You know...I have to say, I HAVE noticed a few people that used to visit me that I don't see anymore. Just know that I miss you and I HAVE noticed that you are not commenting/visiting, etc. Sorry if I have wrote something you didn't agree with.

Peace
-Sarah

o This was such a lovely entry, Sarah! It's always so nice when you give us a glimpse into your life. I know I'm not alone when I say that the more I get to know you, the more I love you for who you are. heart BFF heart

You will never lose your blog. I know what you mean, though. I sometimes fear that if I let my site go for more than two days, I will lose the few readers I've got. It makes me reexamine my reasons for having the blog in the first place. That usually gets me back on track. wink

I'd better get off of here before Lonnie gives up and gets back on his computer! doh Love you lots & I'm really happy that you're doing so well right now! G'night!...

Hi there Sarah...
good post!
I have been lacking in the desire to post much lately.
I don't know if I even want to.
Oh well...as long as I 'try' to keep up with my friends here...I feel good! smile
Have a wonderful Friday! bigsmile heart

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, April 25, 2008 2:20:52 PM

Karen, I don't fear of losing readers. They come and go...(except for Cheryl heart hehehe) and a few others that I have known for a while! I fear of losing my blog...literally. I hope that Opera never crashes to the point that I can't log on...ever again. I am now married to my blog, til death do us part. I think that you and I are alike that way...into the personal connection that you get with others while blogging. The friendships found here are awesome! heart


Peace to you as well Carol! up heart


Clint, (odd man out) lol What's wrong? Don't try to understand women, dear, you never will. Because you are a man. Period. And I think same can be said for women understanding men. lol

Hi Cheryl!
I am sorry that you are lacking the desire to post. I love reading your blog and I think it is awesome. Sometimes I don't want to post if I feel like I can't be myself without someone commenting on what I SHOULD or SHOULD NOT do. Sometimes we all need a break from blogging..no biggie. Enjoy the break and I think you are an awesome friend! You have a wonderful Friday as well and thanks so much for stopping by!

S.

I've been asking the same to myself last days. Did my blog loose its originality? I think so. I purposed something that is lost in time. Maybe cos I lost my inspiration. Maybe cos I've no time to spend blogging as I wish. Anyway, I'm not satisfied with mine, but for now, I can't change it.

Despite of negative people, I understand you very well. It's because us, we have a great positive energy. We're happy people that love life, and love living. This atract bad people and so, till we realize those bad people, it's too late. They've already stolen part of our energy. Well, in my opinion, if this could serve to change their minds and way of living to good things, I didnt worry, but no! This kind of people dont change. Unfortunately. So, we have to stay away from them.

That's what I think.

Go to your sun!! lol I wish I could have a yard to do it so! wink

Love ya!heart

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, April 25, 2008 2:42:18 PM

like the little kid told art linkletter, "you wash dishes for ninety years and then you die." that was a seven year old answering the question, "what is life."

you are going to be just fine. it's a long haul but it's worth every effort we make.

Hi Sarah

This was a nice entry to read. I think what I liked about it personally was that you took the time for yourself and I don't think people do that often enough. Even taking a step back from blogging is sometimes a relief, I find. And I do that several times a year.

Even though I don't post that often I am trying to still comment more than I have been recently.

As for the part on friendship - I have a friend who is constantly critical, negative, comparing herself to others and it does get tiring. But I always hope that she will grow out it - but it's been fifteen years already cry
Let's just say that she has issues and maybe she will never change.

J.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Saturday, April 26, 2008 12:35:10 PM

Clint...up bigsmile no you won't.

Karen, let's hope that never happens. Yeah, I would cry too!

Jose, I think when I am older and have more life experience. up

Carol, heart

Becky, Love ya heart

Issy, Hi! Yes, I am having more peace and seeing things differently. heart

Scott, Typical child answer...you not only wash them...you have to rinse, dry and put away as well. rolleyes bigsmile

Amir, I am married, so I am talking about married men. Well...most of them. rolleyes

J, Yeah, sounds like this friend needs to let go of many things that she is holding onto. I hope that as I grow older I will be able to let go of issues that plague me right now. Issues of not feeling good enough, of not doing the right thing and..well the list goes on and on.
I have missed you post. heart

just keep plugging away and being real and honest... you're fine.
