Adult Children


Where do I begin? Where does it end? When does the petty bickering become a lesson of life to be learned? When will they know that they have each other, and no one will be there for them except each other? When does parenting end? We all know when it begins, but when do we as parents know when it is time to let go and leave it to them? Grown adult children can be a blessing, but they can also be a burden. Especially when they don't take it upon themselves to grow up and make decisions on their own. We guide, protect, and nurture for as long as a parent can possibly can, but who are we when it ends? Who have I become to them, besides their mom?

Giving love without expectation

Someone said that “ giving love without expectation ” made me stop and think. Is this what I have been doing all my life? I give, I serve, I endure everything without expecting anything back as a reward. The bible says, God is Love. People say love stinks, love hurts, love is painful, love is patient, love is impossible. But what about love without expectations?

 Have you ever felt uninspired? A bursting feeling of thoughts and ideas rages through your mind, but you just can not move beyond those thoughts and ideas. I feel stuck and uninspired to move forward. To begin a new chapter in my life takes courage, will power, and a lot of insight and maybe a little instinct. It is hard to think of step one, step two, and going on, because I feel stuck in my thoughts and ideas. I ask myself why? I ask myself what happened to make me feel uninspired. Ask myself how I can feel inspired again to make things happen.

HOLIDAY HUMBUG

  What's on your mind today? Alcoholism! That is what is on my mind. Some say it is a sickness, it is a disease. I say it's a pain in the arse, especially to the one that does not consume this devil in disguise. The Christmas that we all know is the celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ's birth, however, the devil in disguise comes in to destroy and torment the minds and devour the souls. Celebrate in goodwill and don't let the demon win. Stop making everyone suffer because you can not control your demons, disease, and faults. Your disease spreads like wildfire, and it kills the souls of many little by little.
