Crazy Family


When something crazy happens many people say "well you haven't met my family" meaning that whatever that was crazy is nothing compared to what their family does everyday.

You have the loud families, those that are too competitive and the awkward corky families.  We all have the one person who thinks they are funny, another with long ridiculous stories and there is always one person that wants to start some drama.

Everyone's family is different whether they have secrets they will take to the grave or they could be boring families but what is best about these holidays is that everyone can bring their secrets and craziness together.

My family is a bit different, just like everyone else's, and we may not get along with everyone all at once but at least we all know where to go - grandma's house.

Everyone's situation is different but hopefully we are all thankful for having family near by or at least a phone call away, I know I am.

Ugh!

I am crawling my way to the top and all I see are the possibilities and the opportunities that are coming my way.  I think that once a person realizes that you can achieve endless goals you can either get support from them or the complete opposite from them.  The praises feel good but when you feel someone is trying to keep you down that pressure starts to weigh you down.

I see it like this, whatever I am doing whether it fits a person's approval or not, why should anyone try to step in and change that person's path?  Some people have good intentions and want nothing but success and learning from their mistakes is important but constructive criticism is different from belittling someone.

I am just so tired of negativity and I am also glad that I have managed my stress in a healthy way by working out.  I recently decided to stop drinking for various reason for awhile  but my one of my reasons is that I do not want to use my frustrations as an excuse to drink.  I do not want to develop bad habits when problems happen in my life.  Learning how to cope, deal and face my frustrations is better for me than to run away from them.

All I can do is keep looking up and hope that there is better for me.  Sometimes, when in a slump, you feel as though no one is listening or that no one cares.  In my situation, I have had friends show up unexpectedly and tell me that everything will be alright.  I needed that.

Life is a bumpy road and I feel like I am driving with a blindfold on but taking a break to realize that there is nothing but happiness ahead of me is my motivation to keep going.
