Things A Wise Woman Has Told Me part 1

A very wise women once told me that the word “HATE” is a very strong word to use and to say ' dislike' instead because “HATE” you can't get over and with “dislike” there is room for improvement…………

This is something I think when I am tempted to say I hate something or someone…………………

The woman in question is my mother this is just one of the many wise things she has taught me and it is something I think more of us should strive to remember and live by maybe there would be less fighting between individuals………………………………….

I can honestly say I have never said I hate any of my children although I have said at times that I have hated the way they have been acting at times. When they have said they have hated me I know how hurt I get even though I know deep inside they do not mean it, I also know that my daughters have mistaken what I have said thinking I have told them that I hate them and when I have replied that no I said I hated how they were acting they will come back “same thing”. Well not the same thing in my opinion although now they are mothers themselves they are starting to see things a bit differently.

So what does other people think is “hate” to strong a word…………………………….

Girls or Boys

If you had to pick, would you have only all boys, or only all girls for kids?

For me this was a simple I always wanted daughters and oddly enough so did my husband and we had three daughters. Now how would we have felt if we had a boy the answer just fine it wouldn't have bothered us and we would have loved a son just as much as we love our daughters. What we wanted most was to have a healthy child and that is what we got three healthy beautiful daughters.

We now have two grandsons and one granddaughter who we love just more then words can say, do I have any regrets not having a son...........no not at all.

How about the rest of my blog pals did any of you have a prevance or where you just happy to have a healthy child or just a child healthy or with special needs.......

Internet Drop Out and Television

I hope I get to post this as the last couple of days my internet keeps dropping out and today this is the first time I have had a chance to get here because of the constent drop outs............Anyway since I have not been able to blog I have spent the time doing housework and answering some snail mail........

At the moment I am watching Jerry Springer and why do I watch this show the same reason I think anyone watches it for the fights...............nothing as entertaining as a good punch up on telly............

So what type of shows do my blog pals like to watch, me most of the time I like crime shows and prefer British crime shows over American and Australian that doesn't mean I do not watch shows from America and Australia I just happen to think Midsomer Murders and Wire in the Blood are two great shows and I love Murdoch Mysteries which is set in Canada.

Dylan we will miss you.....................

This doesn't look good and for those of you who are thinking what the hell is that well it's my dog Dyan's bum..........................she has this large growth on it and we have found out that it is cancer and there is no way we can afford the treatment which may not work anyway.

So this afternoon we will be having her put down me and Kathy will be taking her to the vet to have it done I know it's for the best but it still is upsetting for me even though I have never wanted her after 10 yrs or so you do get use to having her around.

This is her in better days.............

Scattering Love is it enough

"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells the sort of life you have lived.

I like this quote and it made me think what do I scatter and what it tells to others.

I like to think of myself as a non judgemental person and always have said that it is not my place to judge people and if someone is doing something that God maynot approve of then it will be up to God to pass judgement not me......................

This is something hubby doesn't get he is a very judemental person and often will paint heaps of people with the same brush such as people who are gay he has often judged them and in fact when he worked with a man who was gay a few years back he was suprised that he seemed just like a regular guy.........................lol

I do have a habit of mothering people and many of my daughters friends call me "mum" or in the case of my nieces friends who have been here with my niece they call me "Aunty Jo" as well although often my niece will call me "mum" also............

I feel I was born to be a mother although it has not always come easy to me and had many times when I did not know how much more I could take and it seemed so hard and I felt like a failure as a mother...............yes there have been times even recently that I have felt like a failure but thankfully those times are few and far between.............

So what do I scatter...........love, compassion and understanding...................is that enough I don't know.

Tax Time............only good when you get money back...............

Here in Australia it's tax time hubby did his tax return a couple of weeks back and daughter number 1 had my dad (her pop)do hers for this year and last year, yeah she didn't but it in last year I don't know why she just didn't she said it was because dad(her pop)was unwell and she didn't want to ask him......yeah lame excuse there are tax agents around........

Anyway I came across this one on one of my bigblog pals blog and thought I would pinch I mean borrow it for here:
