TOIGTMIR....other people's ignorance about me is laughable and nothing to get upset about.
|
TOIGTMIR: I am not as young and limber as I used to be and getting up off the ground or from a kneeling position wreaks havoc on my back and knees.

The Older I Get, The More I Realize
I admit it. It's hard to hold my interest. Even when I was younger [perhaps even more so then?]. It's not that I don't want to be interested, mind you, I do, it's just not that easy to capture my attention. And now that I'm, well, more seasoned [sounds like I'm a piece of meat, and some circles I might just be that. ; )], shall I say; I can't tell you how uninteresting I can find any subject in the hands of a self-absorbed, unconscious person.
I don't need much - just someone, who is paying attention, present, conscious. Does this make me a misanthrope? |
Slipping on a wet floor and falling hurts a lot more. :blink: |
TOIGTMIR.................
The HEAT here wreaks havoc on me and it's so much easier for me to dehydrate myself . PS. I am NOT in the kitchen. lol |
....i'm ok being "real"...
|
The Older I get the More I REALIZE...........
|
That being true to yourself works.. and to let nothing nor no one take that away from Me.
|
TOIGTMIR
that i love me some me.......
and there is nothing wrong with that....... we are taught all our lives that we have to love ourselves before we can truly love others. well i have mastered the first part. i spent a long time hating myself.... (now that i am my true self, i feel much better) don't get me wrong, just because i love me doesn't make me an arrogant asshole. i know i am not the best looking, smartest, funniest, most charming, most talented person in the world...... but i think i am pretty cool. and i have lots to offer my friends and family as far as love and support and fun times. i can be a cocky bastard sometimes, but for the most part i am a sweet well adjusted man who loves to make people happy. **I** believe that if more people loved themselves at least as much as i love me there would not be so much hate and jealousy in the world, because everyone would be secure in themselves. what more could you want? @ |
I realize..........
Life goes around in circles. Big circles little circles........just circles
|
...it is delusional to think that anyone is 100% independent. And it's not a bad thing or a sign of weakness to need someone.
|
TOIGTMIR: that having a relationship with myself and my higher power is MUCH more important than having a relationship with another person... skeet |
I realize...
~I am confident in my abilities and in the choices I make. ~There are things that I require in my life, and of those who wish to be in my life. ~I deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. ~I will not tolerate abuse from any source. ~I am a strong confident woman who knows what she wants out of life. Those are just a few of the many things I've been realizing. :) |
that Karma is REAL...and that I am very happy that I am the woman I am today!..I am proud of ME
|
The older I get, the more I realize how precious home is. :winky::thumbsup::stillheart:
I want to hug my house. :| :twitch: Okay.....I'll settle for stripping down to my underwear, cranking the a/c and hanging out with my frogs. :winky::heartbeat::frog::frog::heartbeat: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
the older i get the more i realize..........
my patience level is MUCH lower than it used to be my body just cant perform like it used to i dont need to be liked by everyone i dont need to make everyone else happy some things arent even worth the effort others try to make you look bad to deflect attention from themselves i AM an asshole,and i dont mind! |
TOIGTMIR... That I must let go of frustration, disappointment, resentment, and other emotions that make my head want to explode... or else it will consume me and I can't get anything productive done. http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-...r01-208161.jpg TOIGTMIR... That some individuals will never "grow up" and take care of responsibilities or proper priorities...and that it's not my job to pick up the pieces or be the caretaker/responsible adult. I must break the cycle of co-dependency. I must STOP trying to rush in and "fix" everything. All my life I've been the caretaker....it's time to take care of me. |
That most people don't like you nearly as much as they say they do and will stop being your friend over the most minor infraction, so hang on to the true friends. Cherish the ones that'll be there through the rough patches, and let the rest go. Life is far too short to waste on pseudo friendship.

I've learned that you are ultimately responsible for what you allow others to do to you. If you allow others, regardless of who they are, to continually disrespect you and treat you poorly, then you are just as much to blame for the hurt it causes. |
I have learned that a good bed, can infact, make a difference in your day! |
TOIGTMIR...
...that life is short, so do what makes you happy. ...that adventure is good for the soul, so try something new at least once a day. ...how right my parents were about so many things...I sure took those long summers away from school with nothing to do for granted. ...everybody farts, so you might as well laugh about it. ...there is never any excuse for bad manners, rudeness, or treating someone else poorly. ...that there is no such thing as laughing too often or too loudly. ...it's the people that can't let go of the past that suffer the most, so I practice letting go and surrendering to the present as much as possible. Nothing is more empowering than sloughing off the old and starting new each day. ...that there are so many people here with words that inspire me daily. :) |
...never buy anything you can't flip burgers for.
|
. . . . . that I don't need all the "things" (material possessions) that I thought I did.
. . . . . that getting rid of the clutter in my life is liberating. . . . . . that it is getting easier to walk away from people who claim to be a friend but act otherwise. . . . . . that Tootsie Rolls are a good any-time food. . . . . . that my heart may bruise but it hasn't stopped hoping. |

What you get out of life is what you choose. How you are treated by others (and how you treat others) is a direct reflection of your belief in your own self worth. Truly self-actualized people have no need to treat others with cruelty. If we feel that we need to be better than somebody else, that's an internal flaw within ourselves. Learning to "GET OVER IT" is a terrific way to conduct ones life. Not everybody we meet and know is going to like us, and SO WHAT? So what is also what's so!!! |

TOIGTMIR................
that some people in the world will do whatever it takes to make another human being's life miserable. It's sad, but true. I wish it weren't this way, but there are folks out there that strive on the drama they cause for others lives. Just sayin.... |
I realize that every "era" ends up thinking that the younger generations have no idea what "we went through."
LOL, it is kind of fun to see your own kid begin to say that about your grand kids!!! I am glad, however, that I did't turn into a negative older person about younger people. We have a lot to give each other. |

AtLastHome, what's more fun is to utter the eternal prayer in the presence of your own child: "May your child grow up to put you through all the crap you put me through." And then watch it unfold. The flip side, however, is coming to realize what we put our own parents through, once we've forgiven them for their imperfection. Mankind doesn't seem to have the capacity to learn from history (world history or our own limited experiences). We go on repeating the same errors over and over again ad nauseum. Life is a Merry Go 'Round! Have a good one and keep a sense of humor. Negative old people get these nasty little lines around their lips. Very unattractive. |
... Everyone, everything dies...Some sooner than others, faster too...

The older I get, the more I realize.....
that kindness is the best response in almost every situation.
|
The Older I Get, The More I Come to Understand....
"Change" does not always require emotional upheaval. Change can be a gift to experience life more fully and with ease.
|
The Older I get the more I realize
That I love my mom more and more as each day passes.
That I am ever so grateful for the mom that I have. |
how really important it is to pick the right career path. I did an ok job, but in looking back, I know where I could have really empowered my path and increased my income and twisted it around so I could have done more specifically the kind of therapy work I wanted to do...
|
The older I get the more I realize that my best asset and worst enemy is me.
|
We pay for everything eventually. There is no free lunch.
|
when I need to step away. See you later!

... life doesn't always imitate TV. You haven't failed in your twenties just because you don't live in a high rise Manhattan apartment by yourself, with a huge closet filled with designer shoes, surrounded by equally successful friends who are always in the mood for a cocktail party where all of you magically have all this free time and no job stress. ... fish or cut bait. Don't sit around waiting for someone else to do something or recognize you. ... homecooking still wins hearts. xosqueak. Still wants all those shoes, though, don't get her wrong. |
how much losing 2.2 lbs really means to me :hangloose:
|
...that smiles and hugs are always appreciated, sometimes needed, and the best gift...
...There are 2 words I wish not to have in my vocab or my life... ...That everything happens for a reason (even tho sometimes we don't understand that when things happens)... ...No matter how hard life gets...it is better than the alternative... ...some people Have to hit rock bottom and lose it all to learn that they had a good thing going... |
That My Mom and My late Grandma have been right alot.
