Saith Me… Choosing to be Miserable

Interpersonal connections through various modes and methods, specifically during this past two months, have reminded me of the old saying,

“You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”

There is one category starkly missing, some people can never be pleased because they are determined to be miserable.

Regardless of the justifications of misery – temporary or chronic – there is a stark difference between experiencing misery and being miserable.

Wretched, distressful events occur, but it is a choice one makes to become wretchedly distressed by the events. The key factor separating the experience of misery and being miserable is Choice.

Saith Me… Opinionated and Uninformed

It is amazing how many uniformed people have such strong opinions, and such strong desires to share those opinions.

Under-informed and curious, good combination. Uninformed and angry, not such a good combination.

Saith Me… Thesis Lesson #6

Working with primary sources can be fascinating, intriguing, rewarding, and addictive. It can also lead you down tangents and make you think you should change your thesis topic entirely.  U.S. presidents – who knew they said such interesting things.

Saith The Husband… Two Bears

Saith the dad…   If two male bears live in the same cave, it might be time for one to find a new cave.

———–

Saith the mom…    It seems it is time for a cub to move out – or at least vacate the kitchen.

———–

Saith the cubs…   *Laughter*

Saith Me… Thesis Lesson #4

Never let yourself get rundown or exhausted. If you do, writers block, self-doubt, and general malaise will be your companions.

Not to mention your writing will sound much better to your own ears when you are not a weepy, blithering, sleep deprived mess.

Saith Me… Thesis Lesson #3

The recipe for a good day…

A few quality hours spent writing my thesis.

A few quality hours being a mom.

A few quality hours spending time with my husband.

A few quality hours goofing off.

Now if I can just repeat this routine daily, I will survive my thesis.

Saith Me… Creative Dreams

I woke up this morning after having a wonderful dream about being creatively crafty – yarn and fabric were magnificently arranged in delightful designs. Now I just need to find the energy to make my dream come true.

A dream can be just the inspiration and motivation needed to overcome.

Never Stop Dreaming!

Saith Me… Country Living

There are so many positives about country living which make life a joy, but learning to deal with the negatives is often frustrating.

The battle to keep a home mice free is ongoing and can get a bit troublesome at times. However, when one week you find a bat in your hallway, and the following week you find a snake in your basement, those pesky little mice become much less worrisome to contemplate.

Old or Just Classic?

My daughter just informed me that when she searches online for ‘old’ quotes, statements written in the 1970s and 1980s show up. This, she says, means that people who lived then must also be old.

She may be correct as classic cars are between 30 and 49 years old. However, I prefer ‘classic’ to ‘old’, but will draw the line at ever being called ‘pre-antique’.

Saith Me… Success

Success is not measured by the things we accumulate. It is measured by the love we share and by our individual growth. It is also measured by how much we are loved by others.
