Relationships...

...Can't live with them and can't live without them!

It is tough enough figuring out our own relationships... with our spouses, children, parents, friends, etc. - but when you are asked to jump in the middle of a relationship your grown child is involved in - LOOK OUT! There will not be a way to please everyone. Do you anger/hurt your son or daughter... or do you tear into the "other" person... or do you simply stay out of it?

Being a people person with some knowledge of many things, being "quiet" is hard. Yes, your raised eyebrows can be felt, if not seen! However, being quiet and diplomatic while having empathy can soothe both sides.

Follow these simple guidelines:

• Listen to both sides
• Pray for God's wisdom
• Be honest
• Love unconditionally
• Be available

No one is perfect. Do not expect perfection from yourself or others. Remember to treat others the way you wish to be treated and give it to God to handle. He has lots more time. patience, and experience than any one else and will find a solution - in His time, in His way. Wait for His answer because our Heavenly Father does know best.

May you be blessed...

MEMORIAL DAY...

Today we honor the men and women serving in the various capacities involved in protecting the United States and its citizens. This day, also, is a tribute to the men and women who served and lost their lives while performing this duty. It is a remembrance of all branches of service and all those serving actively now and those who served in the past. Our American flag should be proudly flying, our hands should be over our heart as we pledge our allegiance to our country and the flag, and our prayer must be for peace among nations and all mankind as we honor our service men and women on this Memorial Day.

Memorial Day in the United States

    GOD BLESS AMERICA 

today and everyday.

Jeremiah... have you seen him?

At 10AM, we discovered our precious Jeremiah, our miniature wire-haired dachshund, was not in his pen with his step brother Lander, a Jack Russell Terrier. Of course panic set in. Luckily Will and Betsy were available and the search began for our 'runt.' The love of our lives and such a funny dog! We called, we whistled, we yelled, I cried, I prayed... and our gracious Heavenly Father heard us... and put Jeremiah on a course for home - 58 acres in the country with many hazards for such a spoiled, little dogie. There is a fish pond, a pool, a fox, and many other "wild animals" that are so irresistible to such a curious pet. Jeremiah thought the adventure was just that, an ADVENTURE and then it turned into a wonderful game of 'hide and seek' with Betsy.

The Lord brought him home. He is getting a much needed bath and pedicure, as I write. He will now be the inside dog he is supposed to be, living with his Granny!

Thought this was a cry for help from all my friends online... so glad it is just another day in the "Life after SAHM!"God bless and remember... "Y'all come back, ya' hear!"

Comfort Zones

Today will be a memorable day, for sure!

If you follow me on Facebook (Pamela Critcher Poston) and Twitter (Ladybug1949), you are aware that I am a proud mother of four daughters! All quite talented in very unique ways and by far my greatest accomplishments. My oldest, Leslie, is well known among social media and has co-authored, Twitter for Dummies. Today she threw her 'hat' in the ring of competition for a new TV show on Oprah's OWN Network. I am thrilled and truly feel she has the ability and the desire to find her place on the network, using her talents to teach the how, why, when, and where of Social Media - and how it can help you personally and professionally.

Follow her voice here. Listen, share, and vote for Leslie!

Season Finale of "HOUSE, MD"

Tonight was the season finale of "House, MD". If you missed it... Hulu it, etc. The best in a while... I am embarrassed to admit how much I wanted it to turn out that way. No clues here, in case you did miss it tonight and have it TiVo'd, I do not want to be the one who spoils it! Just be sure you see it! :)


Then "24"... I am sorry to say I drifted off into my Internet World and missed it... please, no clues. I promise to watch it in a bit.


So enough said about Monday night TV.

The weather is to darn hot and humid. Someone tell me why I live in the South? Oh, yea, 'cause I'm a Southern Girl, right! An official GRITS. And proud of it, but I want to live in a cooler climate without humidity. Suggestions? BTW, here is my GRITS persona 

I love this avatar! I am this inside my head!
