2023 SYW: Week of July 24

Share Your World

Here are this week’s questions:

1. What makes you smile at the drop of a hat? My grandson is what brings a smile to my face at the drop of a hat. He can be aggravating at times when he doesn’t listen and follow through with what he has been told. At other times he will come up to be and ask for a hug. I could I resist. I can’t. I have to smile and give him his desired hug and tell him I love him.


2. What makes you angry? People that hurt other people and do not even realize their doing it. I’m not taking about hurting someone with physical violence, but instead by using insulting words, undue badgering, and a controlling nature.


3. What saddens you? Losing loved ones is what saddens me the most. Whether close or not doesn’t matter, as much as the sad fact that I’ll never in my lifetime see someone again, nor be able to talk with them. So much I would have like to have asked them and wish had spent more time with them. Even the departure of someone I considered a friend is heart breaking, it is saddening.


4. What do you find most frustrating? I am most frustrated about my inability to financially afford to do the travelling I so desire to do. I so thought that when I retired, I would be able to travel and see friends and loved ones I haven’t seen in a while. I had plans and then Covid it and shut everything down making it impossible to travel and see some of the people I had wanted to visit. It became impossible when they lost the battle of their lives due to Covid. Maybe someday my frustrations will be alleviated.

God Bless. Thank you for visiting with me and sharing your time and thoughts. I appreciate y’all.

Warming Up: Outside Play

The weather is warming up and spring is approaching. Are you enjoying spring like weather? Or perhaps where you’re at you’re still in the midst of crazy winter weather. No matter which I hope you’re able to enjoy some quality outdoor time.

Outside watching my grandson enjoy playing is a wonderful thing. I love ❤️ to see him enjoying himself. The smile 😊 on his face, his energetic enthusiasm, lifts my spirit.

God bless. Be energetic. Be full of life. Have fun.

ADVICE: What would your advice be to your teenage self?

Never Look Down on Anybody…..

If you could go back in time, would you? Would you go back and give yourself some advice? Would giving yourself advice change the outcome of how you live is right now? Yes, we have all made mistakes in our lives, but I believe we have all learned from them. I, at least, hope I have. Going back in time and giving advice to oneself could be a dangerous thing. Why? If we took our own advice, did things differently, our mistakes would not necessarily be the same. We would still make mistakes no doubt about that, but the lessons we learned would be different and the transitions we’ve gone through in life would not be the same. Therefore, we would be in an alternate universe so to speak. Plainly speaking, we would not be where we are today. At this point in time, if we listened to our own advice and made changes to how we lived. Then again, only God knows what the outcome would be.

ADVICE

Giving advice would mean that we were giving ourselves guidance, opinions, or recommendations regarding our future actions and conduct. Would that be a good or bad? Giving advice to yourself after everything you’ve lived and experienced might hinder yourself from taking the time to look inward and listen to yourself. To learn on your own, at that particular time period, who you are and what you want out of life. Advice should only be given if it is sought after. Even though we have learned that we probably should have done some things differently when we were teenagers, we might not have listened to the advice we gave ourselves if we went back in time to give it.

Now we are at an impasse. Do we give ourselves advice? What would be the best advice to give ourselves? There is not just one specific piece of advice I would give myself, but several suggestions would be made. The following is a list of some of the suggestions I would advise myself.

  • Never Give Up….You are stronger than you think…You can do anything.
  • Never try to be someone else…you are perfect exactly as you are.
  • Stay true to your faith…. Live your life for God
  • Take time to know yourself…Learn who you are.
  • Worry less…live in the present
  • Don’t make assumptions…. they’re usually wrong
  • Be courageous…. Step out of your Comfort Zone
  • Trust yourself… Have faith in your abilities
  • Smile… Laugh… Be kind… your life will be different by doing so
  • Always be the best person you can be.
  • Do not judge… you never know what someone has been through

The list could go on forever, but I won’t. Always choose your words wisely, they can never be undone. You can beat the odds. Know what you are meant to do and don’t let anyone, or anything prevent you from doing what you know in your heart you are meant to do.

God bless. Be the best you can be. Stay true to yourself. Keep the faith. Please feel free to like, comment, and follow. I appreciate y’all.
