You can only make yourself happy – no one else

My husband is driving me nuts. NUTS!

He is a deeply unhappy person these days and I don’t know what to say to him anymore. I’ve been avoiding him – which I shouldn’t do – but last night I laid it out straight to him: you need to let go of whatever is holding you back and move on with your life. Stop comparing yourself to others and what they have – comparison is a killer. Stop worrying so much and live! Get some counselling – and don’t say you already have the answers or know what to do, because if you did, you wouldn’t be feeling this way.

I told him that I am at my wits end and I cannot help him. I am not a counsellor. I am neither a psychiatrist nor a doctor. He needs to take action and go and get help.

He was up again this morning at 1:30 and 3:30. Wandering the house, making noise, flipping on lights. Sighing. Listening to music; playing his guitar.

I have had enough! I told him to go get help. I am not having this conversation anymore.

You cannot make anyone happy. You have to make yourself happy. End of story. No ifs, ands, buts or maybes. Happiness lies within yourself.

Tough Love. It’s a thing.

More Love. Less Hate.

As per my last post, I cannot understand why people need to hate one another.

What is wrong with humanity?

My heart aches to hear that so many people died senselessly. Why does this ever need to happen?

Simple answer: it doesn’t.

I feel fortunate to live in a country that allows me the freedom to express my opinion, but I know that it does not preclude me from being responsible for my words.

People are people. We are all human beings. We all bleed the same colour. It doesn’t matter what our skin colour is, who we love, or what we do.

We must unite together to stop this hate.

No one’s humanity should be diminished or held to account just because they think differently.

Attacks like the one in Orlando embody hate. WE MUST STOP THIS.

We have made great strides in acceptance. Let’s do more.

The last three years

I just read my last post. It was almost three years ago. Much has happened since then to me and my family.

We lost my mother-in-law in December of 2013 the day after Christmas. My husband and I have not moved to England as we had planned and intended. Recently, I also found out I may not be able to have Children - I am 40 and I am not ovulating.

We have been working through this and believe it or not, I have been pretty solid through it all. I've had to be.

I just wanted to say I'm back and I am ready to share again. I need to. I know there are many out there that need this and so here I am sharing with you. Hopefully it will do some good for someone other than myself.
