The Divorced Mind

When a relationship goes bust and you are suddenly alone without the significant other, the path of traveling single is extremely scary. Emotions play havoc with your mind. Friends are nowhere to be found. Some family members ignore you worried that you are a bad omen or whatever. Your entire personality takes a beating. Professional and personal life is a mess. Gossip mills churn like crazy making you a social outcast…. the list goes on. But no matter how bleak the situation looks like now, this is just a stage like any other. And always remember - God is with you every step of the way and you can and will get by.

Here are some pointers to help you move on:

• Accept the fact that the situation has changed and get on with life

• A change of surroundings maybe in order (if possible)

• Realize that the past is over and done with. It does not influence the present nor destroy the future.

• A one night stand isn’t going to get to you anywhere except a feeling of revulsion and remorse

• Join suitable groups that help rather than hurt or seek out a good counselor

• Choose friends wisely and speak up if you notice you are being short changed

• Get a good career and work towards a healthy goal

• Keep your mind, body and soul clean and eradicate any negative thoughts

• If you are a gossip mongers dream so be it, let the mills churn, meanness never wins in the end

• Never latch on to the first person who pays attention to you. Being needy must be nipped in the bud. Your need is to be self reliant.

• If the ex has moved on to another partner, so be it. Do not jump into a relationship just to appear “content”. You will hurt yourself in the long run.

• If and when you are ready to get into a new relationship, you must be mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically free of old “ghosts”

• Get on with life by set positive and realistic goals

All in all, remember you are a capable beautiful individual. Even though the relationship is over, it is not the end of the world. One door has closed many more will open. Keep your options alive; smile and remember to smell the roses, ditch the burnt coffee!

XoXo

Will We Change?

The tears, sorrow and pain on His face we ignore Pretense with - that’s a picture, are you so sure? Nonchalance is the stand that we take When will we change and stop this act of fake? He was born to a simple innocent virgin called Mary And His foster father Joseph a poor carpenter Something that we could never ever do It is so difficult because we so love this zoo! At the chosen time when he gathered His disciples together to join Him By His example they embraced His commandment When questioned about this by the learned many He simply replied 'love one another' is the best of plenty. Joining the people, scholars and clergy at a general place He taught them simple parables many did not embrace The idea was to get Him out of the way To pave a road to riches and make their day. They plotted and planned and chose the easiest betrayer Who kissed Jesus his Master, The Savior Thirty pieces of silver was their solution The end result a conscience - a rope so in

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Remote Rehab Watchers

What really annoys the sibling, are the soaps and serials I’m hooked onto. She’s like ‘why can’t you watch something informative instead of the usual jazz’ that I (supposedly) watch. What can I say - I’m a couch potato and love the title. She waits for a while and once she notices I am away from the remote she pounces and grabs it. I was too slow for that one! I hate this situation. Makes me feel so helpless, but I have to stay put otherwise you know the drill. She’ll fight and I will retort and cold shoulder treatment for a while. The poor sucker (the remote here) will have to face the wrath. I placate myself with the ‘anyway we have another television’ so I rush towards it and see the remote in the hands of the other sibling. I never win! But I have a new idea I will hide the remotes so that they don’t put me in this situation ever again. I wait for a suitable opportunity and hide them only feel two pairs of eyes watching me (like hawks). Why people are so sexist with the
