Feeling Limited

Relationships..so many of us say that we want to be in them, but yet, so few become involved in them. Maybe it’s because we have this open-door policy to be as a free as we can today. Or maybe it’s because we have become so focused on ourselves that we’re become limited into the amount…

Giving a Gift

As we’re getting older, I find that people are changing. Not so much in their age, but rather in the area of giving. Perhaps it’s because we are all raised differently. We come with a set of different ideas and experiences. One example is being able to give and to receive gifts no matter what…

For a Lifetime

You do everything you can to move on from past relationships. To some extent, we have all done it. We keep ourselves busy by spending time with friends, working, even meeting new people. It becomes more work to get over a relationship then it was being in the relationship, but what happens when time goes…

Staying in a Relationship

I often wonder what happens when you find someone that you really like, but the relationship ends or worse, it’s not even given a chance to start. Where do those feelings go? Do we hide them away for the next person? Or do we pretend that our feelings no longer exist? I like to call…

The Ultimate Question

Relationships can be funny at times. We can never tell who we will meet, or what the outcome will be of a relationship. I’m finding that either people are open to a relationship or they closed to it. I often feel that if we are open to relationships of any kind then we can find…

Going Back

This past week, I was sitting at a red light, waiting to turn out of a busy shopping center on a Sunday afternoon. Patiently I waited until it was all clear to go, but it took some time, and in that time, I began to watch people drive in and out of the parking lot…

The Wish Jar

Sometimes I have to wonder why relationships have to be so hard. Is it that as we grow older the more wiser we become over time, or is it that relationships have become so much more difficult because we have become busier? I often find that for some of us, we pack our lives with…

When Love Hurts

One of the hardest parts about relationships is trying to get over them. That pain that we get in the chest that tells us that we have been taken over with by pain settles hard. I wish that there was an easier way to get over someone, but unfortunately, it’s just the opposite. It doesn’t…

Finding Content

Someone gave me a CD to listen to on being content in life. I listened to the half hour-long recording on being content with life that you have and how often we can look at other people’s lives. We wish to have what others do so to find happiness, content in ourselves. I thought about…

Feeling Fragile

Sometimes I think about my own life and realize as I’m getting older in age the idea of being alone can be difficult. Let’s face it. We come into this world young and for many, we leave much older in our lives. Many questions come up. Questions as to who will care for us as…
