RELATIONSHIPS LEAVE STUFF BEHIND

By Vernalee

When we are involved in relationships

(personal and professional) , it is serious business! Attachments are formed. Familiarity becomes a standard. When our relationships work, it is a great thing! When they don’t, discontentment is our by-product. Getting rid of the bad apples and walking away are not always easy tasks. Challenging, isn’t it? Therefore, it is imperative that we are careful and selective about who we let into our lives and into our precious space. Whether it is in a good or bad way, people “rub off!” Sweet is better than bitter; good is better than bad. You choose. Choose wisely. One thing is for sure. We live with our choices – good or bad.

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!

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
