I spent a lovely evening out with a group of wonderful ladies last night. Just chatting, laughing and getting to know each other better. So many people are handling so many challenges, it's almost beyond what they can deal with. It really reminds me that we should NEVER judge another person, unless we're willing to walk in there shoes.
None of us truly ever know what another person is going through. Sometimes not even your closest friends know, only what you share with them. Which is never all of it, as we tend to hold back, since we don't want our family or friends to worry. Unfortunately burying our feelings is not the answer, I honestly feel like blogging helps me because I get to say what's on my mind.
Also last night I took some time and caught up with many of my favorite blogs. I was truly inspired and uplifted by so many of them. They seemed to speak to me and resonate with my soul. I wish we could all share ourselves like that, for real. I know it can be exhausting but it's so therapeutic.
I'm truly grateful that I found a way to get my emotions out in a much healthier way than I have in the past. It's scary and sad what we can do to ourselves when we don't release our emotions, I know; as I went down many of those paths that could have destroyed me. I was lucky, lucky that I was able to find that blogging really helps me to get it out and come up with solutions.
I want to share my light and open my heart to those who need it. Many people are desperate, just needing to be heard and loved, mostly they just want to be needed. I want to say something here, sometimes the tried and true answers are not always the best; sometimes you have to blaze your own trail.

Hello Launna:
ReplyDeleteWe too never cease to be amazed at the trials and tribulations of so very many people borne for the most part without a word of complaint. They become a salutary lesson to us all.
Kellemes hétvégét.
Thank you Lance and Jane, I agree it's amazing how people handle debilitating challenges so quietly.
ReplyDeleteI've discovered you are, by far, much more optimistic and determined than I am...and I've got to learn many things from your struggles with your emotions. All my admiration Launa.
ReplyDeleteYes we don´t have to judge people without kmowing their circumstances... Grretings and have a nice week end!
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should not judge others, unless we have been in their set of shoes or walked their path.
ReplyDeleteSadly, too often people do this, I don't know if it is because they are insecure in their own lives that they feel they need to do this, I do know that unless you have no faults don't judge.
Thank you so much Petronela, you are so kind... I learn from you as well;)
ReplyDeleteExactly Rae, that saying of if you live in a glass house don't throw stones :)

Thank you Sayid, it is always wonderful when you have your own outlet to say what you feel:)
ReplyDeleteIt is so true that we shouldn't judge because we don't know what someone else is going through. Compassion and patience can go a long way in our relationships with others.
ReplyDeleteHi Launna!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you were really inspired by your visit!! Wonderful!!! Great to read your wonderful words.
Thank you Daisy, I work on being compassionate and understanding daily. If I feel like I'm judging someone, I check my thoughts immediately. It's not always easy but it is worth it!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, yes I was inspired by my time with my friends. Thank you for you very sweet words;)
