WHAT PRONOUN DESCRIBES YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

By Vernalee

It is amazing how a simple pronoun tells what is going on in a relationship! Listen up!

Which pronoun will it be – I, us, we, or me? Perhaps, the better question is what pronoun does your mate use? Which pronoun describes your and his interactions? Does he say we, but his actions are more synonymous to me? Do you consider him in all of your actions while he considers only himself? Alright, let’s get a little technical. The only printed difference between me and we is the first letter. Tbe two words (We and me) even rhyme, but their meaning are vastly different; light years apart. If your collective movements and actions are congruent, all is well. However, if you and your “yours truly” are moving in two different directions, there is a problem. Perhaps, the time has come for the two of you to get off on the next exit! Single minded thinking doesn’t successfully work in relationships. Togetherness is plural. Why make it complex when the math is simple? 1+1= 2. 1+0= 1. When you are committed to each other, you consider the other person; after all, they are in the plan. Right?

Single-minded people only think of themselves so they should probably be by themselves! Just saying ..

.For those whose use of singular directed pronouns doesn't match their actions, the time may be ripe to say a noun that is fitting - Adios (Good-bye)! Why waste your time or make someone else's life miserable when you have the choice to do otherwise!

BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER

By Vernalee

I have a question for you. Why do you associate with that group? I’ll tell you why! It’s simple – Birds of the same feather flock together. That phrase means that people with similar likes, appearance, or behavior hang together, as in a clique. Commonly, because of the comfort zones, people of the same sort or with the same tastes and interests enjoy the company of each other. There are so many expressions that speak to associations. Allow me to share a few: * You become like the five people you spend the most time with. Choose carefully. * Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are. * When you have to start compromising your values for the people around you, it’s probably time to change the people around you. * If you want to identify someone’s character, examine the friends he sits with. * Associate yourself with people of good quality for it is better to be alone than in bad company. * The law of attraction is that you don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are. * If birds of the same feather flock together, it may be time to upgrade your flock. * Whoever walk with the wise becomes wise, but the companions of fools will suffer harm. Proverbs 13:20. Therefore, sometimes we have to break ties, shake a tail feather, and disassociate. Though we may feel comfortable with the familiarity of our group, it’s may be time to move on. Your growth and progress may be stymied. You may desire to reach beyond normalcy and achieve your greatest potential. Don’t remain in a clutter with folks who have no where to go when your goal is to move upward. Leave the nest. Look and go beyond. Spread your wings like the eagle! Become a symbol of power, respect, and freedom even if you “fly” alone. Responsibly shape your own destiny rather than letting others shape it for you. Fly the coop! Photo credit: www.studydelay.net

FRIENDSHIP 101

By Vernalee

For the record, you don’t need to take a class (Friendship 101), to determine who your real friends are. Your heart, love, body & soul, and evidence of treatment will tell you! Friends that you love and who love you; friends who care about you and your well-being; sincere friends; respectful friends……..who could ask for anything more! When you pick up your phone to talk to a true friend, it appears as if they are in the next room though they may be miles apart. Distance is immaterial. Though schedules may prevent you from getting together frequently, they are never far! Feed, water, and nurture your true friends because the value of true friendship is priceless! You are connected through your hearts and you become a blessing to each other! I am truly blessed. Are you? Photo credit: www.thedailyquotes.com
