Can I have some?

welcome to my blog.

a place to post. a place to eat oreos. a place to vent. a place to heal.

i started this blog so i could use a different outlet besides munching on fattening oreos. as if that has done any good... *mind wanders to oreo package in the house...*

then i realized that oreos can be semi symbolic. if you are are that crazy about oreos that is. which... i am.

eating oreos is therapeutic for me. when i am struggling or when i need a pick me up. they have chocolate. and sugar. both of which help lift my mood. not to mention that i eat them soaked with milk, which is my miracle drink.

i post my posts to not only get stuff out. there may be people who read my blog who have been in the same kind of situations as i have. i hope reading them and knowing that others have gone through things like i have, will be to you what eating oreos does to me.


and yes. i didn't capitalize anything in here. i just felt like it. deal with it.


munch up.

Fine Line

Where, oh where is that fine line between sacraficing oneself for others and taking care of oneself?

Please. Someone enlighten me.

This is kind of an interesting thing. I believe the fine line can be found in the attitude. If you sacrifice yourself because you have to, rather than because you truly want to then you will grow to resent it. Of course, this is all still a theory that I'm working on in my own life, so maybe I'm wrong.
However, it seems to me that when I do self sacrificing things because I really, truly want the other person to be happy, and I want that more than I want to indulge myself, I'm more often at peace.
I also find that if I am grumpy about something, the best way to not be grumpy about it anymore is to take my mind off it. Faunching about it never helps me. :)

.... anyhow, I hope that's at least a little helpful. Have a great day!

It IS a fine line and one that is different for every person and for every family. Over time, you'll find that line. And then you'll lose it again, and find it again, and lose it again... :)

I'm so grateful for the learning, growth, discovery, and experiences that life provides!!!
