A Hiding Place you say. Please let me explain to those that do not know me my Name I am using
on this blog is Aunt B, or you can just refer to me as B. So to Friends please try to Remember to
call me by that?
I did not want this blog linked up to my other blogs, or anywhere that someone may see it that may
not need to. Some of my posts may cause some heartache for others that know me and that is not
my intentions what so ever.
experiencing yourselves, or maybe topics that can help you to cope with circumstances in life.
Let's start with *Who are You?*
1. Are you a person that wears your feelings on your sleeve?
2. Are you a conservative individual? There will be posts about this one for sure!
3. Do you always try to find the good in all things even Negative?
4. Do you have days when you wish there was someone to reach out to, to ask advice.
5. Do you listen to advice, or handle constructive critique well? Or do you consider that those that may
advice you to do something, may not know the entire story and since they are not living in your shoes
Their advice is of good intention, but may cause you more harm then good
For me
#1: I have been told this in my past, and I know I do this in the present, this is one of my goals for 2012
To work towards not letting what others say tear me up because I may actually be taking it the wrong way
#2: Yes I am probably too conservative, it comes from my past and has just stuck with me for years, sometimes this is a good thing! Sometimes it causes issues in my life!
#3: I am a firm believer in the fact that things happen for a reason, And even though I don't like things that go wrong any more then any other person in this world. I try hard to look beyond and to consider that maybe there is a reason, and maybe in the end it will be a good thing. This is a difficult to do, I can't and won't even try to say it is a Easy task in life.
#4: Remember childhood and that imaginary friend. Sometimes I feel like I need one of those, simply for the fact that I know what I would discuss is something that would never cause harm to anyone, or it would never
be repeated to someone I would rather not hear it.
Yes I am a Christian yes I pray and trust me when I say the best friend I have in life in God! He is Great, and he has blessed me in so many ways. And yes I shed tears to him often.
But I want to come here and shed tears of sadness, joy, confusion, you name it I want a place to come and just shout it out! And hope that it will help someone else or that the comments I get will help me to cope at times. Which leads me to #5
#5: Yes I take advice, yes I listen, but I know when to draw the line, And this my friends comes from a time a few years back that several friends online did not understand the way I was being treated. I fed on those comments and them tell me to pack by bags and I left!! BIG mistake!!!! I am proud to say I am happily married and I am glad I came home. Are there events sometimes in life that make me think I am not happy. Sure........I don't think even in the best of situations that there are not times, out of anger, out of misunderstanding, etc. that a person does not wonder in their minds, Is this right? Am I where I should be?
Trust me when I say I truly am grateful in life that I know to put my foot forward, to not look back on what may of been, or I will never be able to be happy or satisfied with what Can and Will be if I work at my own happiness in life.
Just a simple introduction, I hope to blog here at least every other day, and then sometimes it may be daily
depending on what I want to vent about.
Glad you are here. And if by chance you find some topics interesting enough to share with others, please do share this blog. It should be interesting or my hopes are that it will be.
And remember to tell me who you are
Just me Aunt B
Aunt B,I have enjoyed reading your first post.Sometimes I would like to run screaming across the land so I understand your need for such a blog.Hugs,Jen
ReplyDeleteB,
ReplyDeleteYou know we can always talk. I love chatting and about almost everything.
Who am I? I am your friend. I am an odd duck sometimes, I guess.
#1. I keep my feelings to myself until I am overloaded. Then I may burst into laughter, or tears or a tirade like no other.
#2. I am not a liberal but I am open to new things. Maybe I am a moderate, but there are things I cannot tolerate. W/O getting political, I have huge problems with how things are in America.
#3. I think one of my best qualities is that I look for the silver lining.
#4. Someone to reach out to? I have my husband, my daughter and a few blog buddies. I trust you like that, too. Would I like to poll the audience? Well, I do it on a post now and then but most commenters just ignore it....
#5. If I ask for advice, it's because I really want it. Do I offer advice? If someone asks for it. How do I handle criticism? I try to find it as a positive thing. There are a lot of folks that are smarter than me, but probably an equal number that are not so much smarter. Know what I mean?
Would love it if you removed the word verification. How will you handle that criticism? LOL
1. Are you a person that wears your feelings on your sleeve? Not any more...I hope! I am VERY sensitive by I am better about not getting my feelings hurt than I was when I was younger. I've always heard that creative, artistic people are sensitive...so that's a GOOD thing, don't you think?
ReplyDelete2. Are you a conservative individual? There will be posts about this one for sure! Absolutely!
3. Do you always try to find the good in all things even Negative? I live a positive lifestyle...I strive to see the good in everything!
4. Do you have days when you wish there was someone to reach out to, to ask advice. Yes...ask my hubby! heehee!
5. Do you listen to advice
I'm better...but still not very good about this. I have lived a different life than most and I don't share my personal tragedies with those that visit my blog. So I DO feel like most don't understand me. I would just rather keep thing light and happy with those I meet.
OK...how did I do? Do we get a grade of this? Did I pass! Do I get to go by an alias? I think I need one! heehee!
Lots of hugs! ♥♥♥
Aunt B,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to meet you again.
1. Sensitive and understanding by nature, strong willed in a caring way.
2. I am open minded on most issues, even after growing up in a very prejudice home. I have very strong values that can not be changed.
3. Yes, there is always some kind of good, too much negative in this world, get over it, move on, life is too short.
4. My mentor is my husband but sometimes he is just a man, you know what I mean. Do you ever lie in bed at night and carry on a conversation with yourself, playing both roles. In the end I realize I was talking with God and life is good again. (Have never told that to anyone except you Aunt B)
5. Yes, I listen well, but oh I come from a stubborn lineage. I tend to stand up for myself, when I am at fault I am the first to admit it. My sweet husband keeps me grounded, as I do him.
Turning 60 this year deemed more traumatic than I thought it would be, I never put much count in numbers, really don't even celebrate the day. However,as the year progressed I found myself engulfed in the past. Memories from my childhood haunted me, my first marriage, things I should have done differently, the need to be closer to my family. Sometimes, I thought I was going crazy, or was just depressed. I love history, so I got taken with the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War Battles. For months I was lost in the 1860's, researched and read everything, dressed the role. I thought this must be an ancestor surfacing inside me from that era. I still have a passion for this era but have decided to let it go, come home to the present. Now isn't that a silly but frightening story, how the past can overtake one's mind.
There you have it, a small glimpse of Connie B.
We are all in need of a friend to share our inner thoughts and some secrets as well.
Connie
Sweetie so glad you started this blog it will be so good for you and probly us as well.Going to take me a little to get used to the Aunt B..smile..It is always good to have a shelter were you can be yourself openly.Just be a little careful as some people will prey on that for their negativity(not people you know just drop ins) Ok on to the questions
ReplyDelete1) I don't wear my feelings on my sleeve.I've always been the one to keep it in and figure it out on my own,but after being pushed to hard I do always stand up for myself.I'm normally softspoken but do have a temper.
2) Kinda conservative on my values but open and understanding to what others think and do.I always look at both sides of the story and decide on my own.
3) I always try to find good but occasionally there just isn't a good outcome. At that time you should move on and understand that you did what you could but life is to short to waste.
4)I do listen to advice but only after thinking it through on my own.I feel I'm intelligent and can usually stand on my own two feet.But it is always good to have a friend help you see the other side and to get things off your chest.I tend to be the stubborn type who usually thinks I'm right.....
Ok so a bonus question about my personality.
I'm a giver and always trust people.This usually leads to people taking advantage of or hurting me.Then my stubborness kicks in I'm a grudge holder. Once I've been hurt or wronged I don't let go easily.
Hugs~Amy
I've got to think about all of those questions first but I wanted to say "hi" and tell you that
ReplyDeletethis is a very healthy step to take to deal with
what bothers us. I've heard advice like start a
journal and write down your feelings, so this is
even better. Instant feedback and support!
Hugs,
Susan
