Social Media

And social media sucks. But unfortunately we have to work in it. I try to limit it as much as possivle. If I answer negative posts I usually put positive scripture. So that it is not an accusation it is an encouragement. I also have people who constantly message me about issues about their family and yes I turn a deaf ear and suggest counselling. Because I am ill equipped to help them in their struggles. I have refused to answer one particular pet parent who consistantly and constantly wants things from me that I am not equipped to give. And so I choose not to answer her calls because she has issues of her own to deal with and I cannot help her. I cannot. Not now. I doubt if social media could deal with her. Maybe it's wrong but many people have issues that they won't get help for themselves but it filters over into their other relationships. And many of those are Christians. How can a Christian continuously complain and yet still claim to follow the scripture, "That ye may be the children of your. Father which is in heaven: for he maketh. his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on theunjust." Matthew 5:45. Things will happen to us all. And it's up to us to keep our chins up.

AND SPEAKING OF GOALS....

And speaking of goals..... yes I am a big goal setter. As true as that is, I finish most, not all but most of my goals. Positivism is good, and I could be trite and say it comes from believing in God. How trite and arrogant to say that. Positivism doesn't come just from belief. Otherwise it won't stay, because of the intangible issues involved. Positivism, and endurance, is a by-product of seeing those intangible issues and acting on them. Facing the inevitable, facing what could break you and yet not giving up. Most of the time it comes because there's nothing left, When you are on one side of the coin looking at having enough money to do things and can accomplish things, it's harder to see the other side of the coin where there is very little there and you have to stretch and make thing fit. Life is good but most people look for the other side of the coin from theirs because they are dissatisfied. Because they always want more. It's not always a bad thing, it lead to our independence from Britain, and the Allies defeating Germany, it's what takes children away from their parents..

And it takes goals, logical achievable goals. Mine for this year are basically two: I want to learn to sew and I want to continue to practice the piano to build up a repertoire. My mom's legacy was both of those things. I have always wanted to sew, to do the creations and was always in admiration of mom for her accomplishments.
