Compassion & Suffering...

“When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

What is a mental breakdown?

Mental breakdown (also known as a nervous breakdown) is a non-medical term used to describe an acute, time-limited phase of a specific disorder that presents primarily with features of depression or anxiety.
=====================
With that being said... I think it's time for me to really make a decision for me. Not for anyone else. For me. And I know I will hurt other people along the way, even those that I love very dearly, I have to make myself happy...

I was told (and I quote) "As long as I know what I need to do in my heart, and have cleared this in my soul and with God, I have to leave the rest ot Him. He will carry me through this."

Another quote - "Live is a long lesson in humility".
* So does this mean I have to humble myself and take it? That's the whole reason why I left him in the first place...

Waipio Soccer... SIGNAGE!

Where I work, signage is a big deal. You have to be clear and consistent with your words. In this case, the soccer fields in waipio has 3 different signs, and although it's leading you to the right direction, the consistency is so not!

Veteran's Day Weekend...

Veteran's Day weekend was Super Busy... I'll post a few photos in a bit...

Costco and their "deals"...

I was a Costco one day with my sister - gosh... it was awhile ago...

Anyway, here's this couch. It was a GREAT DEAL, I should've bought it. It was like under $200.00 and came with everything there. Soooo comfortable.

Next time I went again, no more. :(

Note to self - when you see it at Costco, just buy the kayak...

APEC - It's here and everywhere too!

Signs everywhere to be mindful of APEC and traffic... lots of TRAFFIC...

Harder for some - especially those in the Waikiki area, but where I'm at - it's okay. :)

These people on the other hand, traffic is certainly not the issue.

We are the 99% and have a voice. They've been camping out since last week...

And there she is again...

Here at Ward Center - and lo and behold - there's my sis again! She's all over the place...

Saw her on Maui..

Saw her at Windward Mall...

Saw her at Ala Moana Shopping Center...

She's everywhere!!!

Just a little...

PATIENCE DAISY...

Why???

So my question of the day -

I call, email, text, facebook someone. They post their status updates, answer everything else from everyone else, except mine. I don't understand...

Why say you're available or you'll call back, but it doesn't happen?

Sometimes I think I'm taken for granted and I can wait... But y'know, I have a life too...

Thing 1...

Yesterday, Thing 1 had her physical exam. Assessment was great. She's good on height (well, not that she can do anything about it), weight (well, relatively OK on that too), etc. Then it came to the talk about having the 2 shots. Again, I was pulled back to when she was a baby and how much she did not like shots. The crying, the screaming, the everything trying to get out of having shots.

So here we were, at 17 years of age, and she's still the same little girl that cannot and will not deal with shots. :( I held her again like when she was little... as she leaned into me, the crocodile tears came down my shirt... sigh...

I don't think it matters what age your children are, they're still your baby.. And I wanted to stay like this for just a few minutes more... I love being a Mom... I love being her Mommy.

Fairy...

Is it a sign that her wings are falling???? What is going on???

Thank you, Lord for giving me such wonderful and loving children. They could've been with friends and not even wanting to go trick or treating.. but here they were, hanging with me and I am so truly grateful!!

My LOVES - I love you!!!
