Things Your Parents did, that you now do.

Are there things that your parents did and you now do.. And you have no idea why?! 

My housemate asked me the other day why when I cook my toast that I squish it down after I have cooked it. I literally had to stand there and think about why I even do it. She did say that she has never seen anyone else ever do it, so it must be unusual I guess. But the reason that I squish my toast down after I have cooked it is because my Mum does it. I have no idea why she does it and I am going to have to ask her now!

I also do things that my Grandmother taught me too. So I always put a coin in a purse or handbag when it is a gift and I never put shoes on a table or open an umbrella inside. I think I went to put a new pair of shoes (that were still in the box and in a bag) and she pulled them straight off, quite fiercely so I have never done it since then. She wasn't rude to me about it, I just knew that I shouldn't do it in front of her ever again.

Do you do things that your parents do? Or even your grandparents or Aunt or Uncle? I would be interested to know if anyone else squishes their toast and why? LOL 

I might even do a blog on this topic later on, maybe once I get a few responses.

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Chris Watts Case

I think that the reason so many people are drawn to this case may simply be because of how tragic the story actually is. How can a man take out his family like that? And to not show remorse. I do believe that there was something major going on, I just think that we will never know what truly happened. I honestly don't think that Chris will ever be fully honest about what happened that night. I do feel like he is protecting someone or something else, but no clue as to what. I feel so much for Shanann's family, I can't imagine the heartache they have to bear each day. Having had a brother that went to prison, I can understand why his family do contact him still and why. He will also be their son and brother/uncle and as a mother, our love is unconditional. He may have wiped out his entire family, but he will always be their loved one too. I think this case will have unanswered questions and there will always be these conspiracy theories regarding it. I literally have tried to...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
