You Past is NOT a Prison Sentence!!!

 

Page 28 of 365. Good Evening my Lovies. I hope your day treated you well. Me? It was another casual day. I honestly didn't want to get out of bed, but when I don't, I end up feeling worse the next day. 

I am grateful the wind has calmed down and the temp hasn't been too bad, however; the warnings have just been issued that an Alberta clipper is headed this way for tonight and tomorrow. 

Am I the only one who loves the beautiful, white snow; making the world so serene, blanketed with peace???

This blurb isn't going to be a long one, as I really don't have a topic on my mind that is super important to express at the moment...

You know how some people are asked if they has the chance, would there be anything they would change in their past, what would that be??? Many people mention things that they have done that have ended up with disastrous results; often feeling guilt or regret. I am not like that though...

Maybe I just view things in a weird way, but it is my philosophy that things were only a mistake if you did NOT learn from them. 

That doesn't mean that I went about things the right way, nor that I didn't hurt people... It means I committed an act that needed correcting. Apologizing for the pain it had caused and move forward from it. 

Your past is not a prison sentence; but it also isn't something you personally should forget neither.

I guess the thought process behind this blurb today, is this... People need to respect their pasts for what it was. Yes, you need to be accountable for your actions, but only YOU are responsible for remembering what the lesson was. Erasing or altering the past is NOT the answer. 

Our pasts are our pasts, and none of us live there anymore, so throwing that in people's faces is simply a reflection of the person who can't get "over" it.

This kinda brings up political stuff too, in the sense, taking down statues, burning flags and books, changing the names of places, streets and buildings is NOT going to erase the history (as despicable as some of it is). What it IS going to do is set future generations to repeat the same "mistakes" because people eradicated it from history books and from society in general!!!

I think all of us need to respect our own personal pasts/histories. We need to accept what the past was, learn from the despicable historical acts of people all over the world so they are not repeated. I know I don't want our world going backwards and I definitely don't want the idiots in charge to allow society to slip back into the dark ages (whatever "DARK" represents to you). All I ask is this...

RESPECT THE PAST FOR WHAT IT IS... REMEMBER AND RECTIFY!!!

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
