Do you adapt to your surrounding quickly or does it time for you to adapt to your new surroundings? Do you ever adapt or fight your surrounding?
As I contemplate on my surroundings I realized that I do change to adapt to my surrounding. I look back in my pass and I've made changes multiple time to make life easier for me. No, I don't change my personality but change my focus on what I do that makes it easier to focus on my future. For example: one relationship I went to Opera's, another I stop going to sporting games because my partner was not into sports. Also moving to different cities or state may make a difference of what your future focus will be. I lived in Hawaii, California and now Kansas. They are all different life styles and different focus on life.
I personally take time to warm up to the idea of changes. Meeting or seeing someone new, I tend to be a little shy or cold until I feel comfortable. As others due, I try to figure out what the situation or person is all about first before I feel comfortable. Yes, all my relationship was not full force at first. I was a little intimidated by the other person before I felt comfortable with the person. Normally the other person would not shy me away because of that. They figured out that I was not so sure of the situation and was okay with it. I don't know how they knew but they did and things got really great. Even moving to new state, I tend to not do much until I figure the place out. What they have to offer or what areas are safe. I am still trying to learn about Kansas City because I really don't know the areas yet. I've been here in the city for about a little over a year and still have been only to certain areas. One day I'll be ready to do more things.
How are you with new relationships or moving to places? Or even new jobs. A new job scares me a lot. You know people are watching you and you can't screw up. Now this is a major situation that lots of people goes through. How do you handle it?
In any case, be yourself. I've learned the hard way and people will think of you the way they want to. You can't change others but you can improve yourself in life.

Hope in Life
Have you ever wish for things that can or should be in your life? Do you wish you could turn back the time so you can make things better?
As I sit here contemplating on what I want to do next in life for my future. I decided I have to work on the obstacles that is in my way because part of future consist of things or persons are in my past. To make things go smoothly in my future, I have to make restitution with my past. Yes I am like other people who has dreams that one day would come true if I work at it. Do you dream big and feel like it's a tough road to get there? I am one person that really can't handle lingering things in my life. For example: 1) My property is not exactly as I want it but because of the weather and finances, I am not able to get it the way I want it and it bugs me. 2) ex's that are waiting for one day to be friends is bugging me too. Now this is very personal to me because I've always transition fast. I don't hold animosity against anyone. Life is to short to distance friendship. I've lived through death of a spouse, so nothing is impossible.
People might say I live in a jaded world but I know I live a life which I can sleep at night with no problems hunting me. Due to my physical condition, I have a life which makes me want to dream again. Yes I've been through a lot this past several years but nothing is holding me back to dream of a great future. How are you planning your future? Do you hold on to the past that's keeping you from moving forward? The present and the future will prosper if you work at it. There is nothing holding you back but yourself. So get out there and make it a great life.

Seeing things in a different light
Have you ever thought of seeing things differently? I mean, if you could change things that has already happened?
As we get older we tend to review what we have done in the past and double check to see if we did the right thing. I for one have made or choose things that I am not proud of. I know I've done good things that made me for who I am but there are situations which I could do over. Don't get me wrong, I would not change my past because I have no regrets but recently, I have not made the right choices. This makes me wonder why am I trying to hard to hold on things that will never be. Have you ever tried to keep something or hold on to something that will never be? Also, have you ever wish that there was a second chance to make it right?
As I review the past, I really haven't known or seen anyone who tried to recover in things which went wrong and succeeded. Trying to do it yourself, sometimes does not work because you might need help or it takes two to complete the task. In humanity, lots of people really don't want to make the effort on trying to make things right. I know of some selective people will do so because they know if we don't make things right, than we would never know. For instance, my late partner would make sure we would not go to bed without talking about any issues we would have for that day. It sounds simple but it takes two and if I would not respond, I would be making it harder for both of us. Yes, I said both of us because when you wake up the next morning we will still have to deal the issue on hand. Do you like to have a fresh start or do you tend to deal with the stress the next day? I hope you choose the fresh start. Everyone is different but hopefully you are handling any situation correctly,
I hope one day I will be able to talk or deal with issues that needs to be done. I know I have flaws in my personality but not everyone have gotten to see the real me. I normally tend to put up walls to protect me until I know it is safe. As everyone does, they tend to try to protect themselves but that could hurt you too. So in life, there are times when you feel life you should have just given it your all and see what happens. Who knows, it could be good or it could be bad.

Changing Churches
How do you decide on making a change to another church?
Today I have decided to make a change to go to another church from the denomination I have been going for years. Have you made a change of where you worship? I know there's several other churches that I can attend but I'm not sure what denomination they are. Since Kansas and Missouri are in the bible belt, I know there's a place that I will feel welcome.
Will this be the right move for me? I am not sure but for personal reasons I have to make a change to keep a positive attitude towards church. When in life things happen, you need to do something to correct any issues that arises. I am not sure leaving the church for personal reasons counts as an issue but this time it has to happen. Note: there is nothing wrong with the church I am currently attending, it's just my prerogative to leave.
Making a new start will be the best thing I ever do.

Our hearts: how much can we handle
How much can our hearts handle? How strong is our hearts?
Today, this is what I have been thinking about. How much can our own hearts handle stress or sympathy for others? As I receive a call this morning from a friend who has been hurting and wanted to be consoled by me. I am a good listener and a good friend. I know there are times as a friend you can't do anything but listen to that person. Do you listen to your friends to help them through tough times?
After several hours listening to this person, I have come to reality that I have not only have the burden of my own situation but I've added several different situations from others to my already hurting heart. I understand that everyone needs a outlet to express themselves but where does it stop for me? This morning she really needed to vent her frustration which was fine for me but now I feel the pain she is going through. She is not the only one I have been dealing with and as time progressed, I have built up other stress to my heart. As I have listened to others as their outlet, now I don't have an outlet to express the pain that has been added. Yes, I have friends but not someone I really have faith in to guide me through things to make it better. What is your secret on handling yours and other peoples stress or worries?

Unease feelings
Have you ever feel unease about something?
As I work on my computer today, I have this strange feeling something is going to happen or has happened to someone I know. Today I have this nervous feeling that I can't sake. I know I've been helping a buddy for the past couple of days and today I'm not able to get any contact with this person. I am hoping that it's not my friend but it makes me wonder why I'm having this weird feeling. Has this sort of thing happened to you? What do you do about it? Or do you just wait to find out?

Humans best friends
Life is so strange on how we depend on our animals to have as a companion.
More and more these days we as humans depend on animals to be our companion. It's not like having a human mate to be a companion which it is not the same but older people and/or single people depend on having an animal by their side to keep them going through life. I know couples (spouses/significant others) who have to rely on animals to keep that special spark in life and it's not wrong. As a single person, I too have a little dog who is always by my side and I wouldn't change it.
The sad part is, what happens when your special pet dies? Animals don't have family members that can console you when your pet companion dies or will steer you in the right direction, but more and more people struggles through the same situation when this happens. I don't know if there's any group that helps people get through their grieving of their pets. Do they have such thing? When older or people who depends on these animals a lot to get through life and their special pet dies, part of them dies too (like a spouse or a great friend). Recently I've seen and heard of people struggling because of a lost of their best friend (their pet) and things don't go well, My little heart hurts to hear such thing. What can you do? You can't bring their pets back. You can't fill the whole in their hearts. What do you do?
Pets plays a major part in society which people takes for granted. We as pet owners try to make sure our pets are well taken cared of. But there are some bad apples out there that makes it worst for pet owners. Pet cruelty is nothing to laugh about, it is a serious thing to remember. Most of all pets touches lots of people in many ways. Please be sympathetic to people who is going through or has gone through a lost of a pet. Pets are important.
