Let Honesty Shine Through -
Susan Thom (12,047)     
Susan Thom   
Blame is such a destructive decision making process. The decision to deny that you said or did, or didn't do something is to make the decision to lie. Fear is usually behind any lie. Those who don't have a thick skin can't handle the reprimands, so they don't tell the truth. If they have a... ( added 1 year 25 days ago.) |
Christmas Bells Will Be Ringing -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Every year, it seems the general public, encouraged by the shopping stores and malls, begin to shop for Christmas earlier and earlier.

One Year After the Robbery -
Eugene Redstone (1,532)  
Eugene Redstone
One year ago today a masked gunman entered my house through the back door while I was sitting here, working at my computer. I've had many requests for an update on how we've been doing since that day, so I thought today would be a good day for an update.
Let me start with a disclaimer: There... ( added 1 year 75 days ago.) |

Who Am I? The Quest For An Identity -
Laura Trahan (38,784)  
Laura Trahan
As I grow older it seems nothing ever changes. There is a self-conscience
person in all of us who at times questions who we are or who we have become. For those who do not know, I teach two days a week. I start my week of
teacher in-service tomorrow. I dread this time of the year, but not for... ( added 1 year 76 days ago.) |
We Can Always Start Over If We Desire -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Life is filled with so many levels of development. Of course, we are born as babies, and are quickly taught all the yes's and no's of the world. We are cared for in every way, our minds stimulated and learning every second. We learn to play, to walk, talk, and slowly become independent of mom and... ( added 1 year 78 days ago.) |
What Does It Feel Like Going Out On A Limb -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Maybe when you are verbally mistreated as a child, you develop the urge to go out on that limb, push yourself to the limits, prove you can do whatever "it" is. If one or both of your parents were dominating, and wouldn't allow you to express your opinion, and basically kept you quiet until you... ( added 1 year 84 days ago.) |
Is There Someone You Can Turn To -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
If there were a poll to be taken, I bet everyone can name at least one person who came into their life, and helped them at their most difficult times. Someone who added to our lives, who took the time to share their knowledge with us. Who nursed us back to health, mentally, physically, and... ( added 1 year 85 days ago.) |
Mistakes Take A Second, And Can Last Forever -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Most of our mistakes take seconds to happen, or think about, while the consequences can last a very long time. Life altering situations can occur because of mistakes we have made, and may not have been aware of at the time. All we need to think about are the over populated prisons. How many...

Was There A Time You Doubted God Was There? -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
When I was in my teens, where were you to show me the way? I was lost, and fearful, and shy, and I had no self confidence whatsoever. I had one girlfriend, one boy friend, and a family life that was nothing less than chaotic. I still managed to go through grammar school, and middle school, and... ( added 1 year 88 days ago.) |
The More We Do For Ourselves, The Better We Feel -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Which way do I go, which way do I think, how do I act, how do I push onward, why isn't Faith helping as much as I want it to? I wasn't going to write about the way I feel, but I know there are others out there that may go through the same thoughts, and my experience may help them. What do you do...

Addiction Versus Willpower, Which Will You Choose -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Without outside help, addiction would overule willpower, which wouldn't have a chance at the time. Willpower can only come after much adversity and pain.

A Friend Of Twenty Five Years Is Someone Special -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Some twenty five years ago, I met a woman at a friend's house, and as soon as she opened her mouth, and started talking, I knew I had a friend forever. She used her hands like I did, was even more dramatic and excitable while telling a story than me, and I was interested. She was kind and... ( added 1 year 96 days ago.) |

Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
It is very aggravating, frustrating and stressful, to have your life be on hold.

You Can’t Push Me Down If I Don’t Want To Fall -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
There are so many things to be concerned with in our World, it's easy to be pushed down in spirit, and give up your hope for a brighter future.

Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Trauma can shake your mind and body to the core, and push you right over the edge if you aren't careful in your thoughts and actions.

The Light Always Follows The Darkness -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
In our deepest times of trial and tribulation, even a sunny day can seem black and ominous. Sometimes we feel there is no way out of our despair.

Try To Relate And Not Compare -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
In a twelve step program, there is a saying that is extremely important to the success of one's sobriety. That saying is, "Try to relate, and not compare."

Come Let Me Share Some Nature With You -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
There are many times in our lives where things don't go according to the way we want. Our expectations and the end result are not the same.

No Two Eyes See The Same Thing In The Same Way -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Everybody's interpretation is different. Some look at this picture and see an Eskimo looking into a black hole, and some see a woman with black hair and earrings. Some may see both.

There Is Simplicity In Pain -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
We are guided from an early age to diminish our problems or worries, and keep our chin up. Don't bother others with your woes and troubles. So, then, what do we do?

Finding Church in Your Pantry -
 - Teresa Ortiz (11,020) 
Teresa Ortiz
"Best if used by 02-08-04"-this being the date stamped on the can of corn I pulled out of the back of the pantry--and the oldest expiration date I came across while packing.
There were many others, in fact; I threw away more than I packed! My greatest find was a bag of Marshmallows that... ( added 1 year 107 days ago.) |
There Is A Rawness In True Pain -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Nature is our most appetizing gift from our God above.

It's as if we connected to something energetic, and way more powerful than we... ( added 1 year 107 days ago.) |
