Strong Women Sometimes Appear To Be Cold Or Distant- We REFUSE to be taken for granted or disrespected

 


I saw this one this evening and just had to share.   We deserve the best ladies-  Let's not "settle" for any further narcissistic relationships (lovers, friends, family etc)  Life is too darn short.  I felt this one.  I hope you do to.


She’s not cold or distant, she’s anything but everything they would have you believe.
No, she doesn’t let anyone take advantage of her and she won’t let just anyone past her walls..but she has her reasons.
Everything that she is and everything that she has learned has come from a life of struggle and heartache.. even the battles she’s fought to become who she wanted to be.
She’s made bad decisions and she’s chosen the wrong people to love, but it never kept her from holding her head high and still believing in love.
People that don’t try to understand her or see past her steely resolve will always misinterpret her facade as hostile or bitter, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
She’s had to learn how to protect her heart from all the people that she used to let hurt her.
She’s had to fight for her happiness every step of the way, so she’s learned to appreciate the joy in all the moments of life- both big and small.
She’s had to claw, battle and dig deep to make it through some of her days..
But she’s still standing.
More than that, she’s got a smile on her face and fire in her heart.
Life can’t bring her down- it already tried that and failed.
She’s been through hell and back, that’s how she became the fire that sparks her spirit.
She’s not easy to love or quick to know, but she’s worth the effort- any effort- because a woman like her doesn’t come around often.
Those who seek to love her must have patience, truth and authenticity in their actions or she’ll walk away.
She’s been lied to, hurt and broken so many times that she’s lost count..
But that’s what made her strong, that’s what forged her strong will.
She’s learned her worth the hard way after being put down, mistreated and taken for granted- she vowed long ago to never let anyone treat her that way again.
People think because of her smile and gentle laugh that she’s just like everyone else..
And they’re so very wrong.
She’s the fire you don’t forget and the diamond that sparkles after all the struggles.
She’ll never settle, be disrespected or be treated as just another option.
Rain or shine, bad days or good, she’s always true to her word and real in her actions.
She doesn’t need a partner, charity or pity..
She knows who she is and what she wants..
Love- for herself, for her people and for the things that matter.
So, when you meet her, just accept her as she is and love her how you can..
To know her, love her and be a part of her life is to appreciate someone very special.
After all, the strongest people can often have the deepest love of all..
Cherish that love, for if she chooses to share that side of her with you,
That’s the most beautiful gift of all:
Her heart.
Protect it and you’ll always be glad you did.

Some mornings I wake up and I wonder what my pets do when I’m sleeping

 

  

I posted this one on my FB page earlier and just wanted to share it here too.   Why?  Because it's my blog :-) and I love to share (especially pics of Diesel)


Some mornings I wake up and I wonder what my pets do when I’m sleeping.  I come down this morning, and every pillow is knocked off the couch and loveseat and the couch covers are also all over the place. I go up to make my bed and notice that their bed (Courtney’s old bedroom) has the pillows knocked all over the floor and the comforter half off the bed so I have to make that bed now too. As I’m giving them their morning snack- Im like “Did you two have a party or something in the approximate 6 hours while I was sleeping”? I have a feeling that it was the larger of the two that made the majority of this mess but he says the cat did it 🙄🤷‍♀️ Any hoot- Good morning Facebook family! Happy Monday! Make it a great one ❤️

You Don't Know The New Me- The Old Me Is Tucked Away and Wont Be Back To Play Reality In My Own Life

 


I spend time of my day everyday and make the effort to work on myself to be the best version of me and reading stuff like this inspires and motivates me.  When I say that people don't know the New ME - That's a fact.  I will NEVER be that weak woman I once was.  Screw that.     Any hoot- I just thought I would share the below from one of the Facebook pages that I follow.    I really felt this one.  If you actually take the time to read the words, you can feel the depth.   I hope you enjoy!


Hi, I know you think you know me, but the truth is, you know the old version of me.
The broken, sad and weaker me is the person you you’re familiar with..
But that’s not who I am anymore.
I couldn’t stay in that place and ever be happy, so I made a choice.
I chose to pick up my broken pieces, figure out who I was and slowly put back together a better, wiser and stronger me.
So, yes, I’m a vastly changed person.
Where I was and who I used to be doesn’t define who I’ve become nor where I am going.
Sure, there are little cracks where the jagged pieces of my soul fit together, but that’s how the light gets in.
The person you thought you knew isn’t me anymore.
In the place of a weaker, hurting person stands a stronger and bolder me.
I won’t let people treat me poorly any longer and I will never settle for anything less than the best again.
This is my life and I’m standing up and taking back my pride, dignity and self respect.
And for those who can’t accept the new and improved me?
Well, let’s shake hands and part as friends, because the people I want in my life are the ones who will be supportive and in my corner, no matter what goes down.
I’m headed in a new direction and I’m learning how to finally fly.
It’s taken me a long time to get here and there’s been a lot of failure, disappointment and struggle along the way.
But I’m still standing and now, I’m growing.
No matter what life throws at me, I refuse to give up, stand aside or be disregarded.
I did that for too long and let myself be taken advantage of by too many people.
That ends here.
Because I learned something as I climbed out of rock bottom:
I’m worthy of love, I’m always going to be good enough and I’ll never have to remind the right people of that.
So, as I stretch out my arms and welcome a new day,
I can feel the sun shining on my face and the light in my heart glowing.
It’s a new chapter, a new me and there’s nothing I can’t do.
For all those that doubt me, I’ll only say one thing:
Just watch me.
Life is about to get really, really good.
And I can’t wait.
I’ve waited all my life for these days, and I know that I deserve every bit of this happiness.

The Question Is Not Why Do People Treat Me Like This- The Real Question Should Be Why Do I Allow People In My Space That Mistreat Me Self Help Reality Quote

 


FELT! Took me 47 years to figure this one too (again, I'm a slow learner sometimes 😉) That part of my life journey is over! Life is too fucking short to waste anymore time. I will protect my peace at all costs and I know who and what is important to me.

To My Best Friend- I Would Truly Be Lost Without You Quote - Reality Of Having A "Real" Best Friend



Saw this one and loved it.  I have had quite a few different females that I have called my best friend throughout my 47 years on this planet.  There's only one of them that know me completely and probably knows me better than anyone else.  She's the one that is "REAL"  She tells me what I need to hear (not what I want to hear but what I need to hear)  She knows exactly what I am up just by the tone of my voice.  I can trust her with anything and know 100000000%- She would not betray me.  She came into my life when I was 16.  We met at bowling.  She is one of the strongest women I know and I am incredibly grateful to have her in my universe.  If you have a bestie like this, make sure that you let her know that you appreciate her.

Her birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and I just really wanted to get something for her that lets her know that I really fucking appreciate her and I don't want to imagine my life journey without her in it and that's a fact.


Just thought I would share as I'm big on the gratitude and honoring the "real" people in my life.


Enjoy - Happy Sunday and Happy Saint Patrick's Day For Those Who Celebrate!
