Old is Gold
There’s a negative stigma surrounding age and I honestly think it’s overrated. I can understand in the past that age was a taboo because the style of life was very different. These days though, age is no longer an obstacle to anything (except some biological restrictions)!
So, I am here today to celebrate age and the finer things that come along with it. I won’t speak on behalf of men, so from a woman’s point of view:
* Less Tolerant: While that may seem like a negative thing, it’s not. It’s a blessing in disguise. No tolerance for stupidity, fake-ness, or pointless anything. Let’s get down to business people.
* More Stable: We don’t need anyone to reassure us of what we mean to them and how great we are. We are secure; we know our true worth and are comfortable with our flaws.
* Sense of Direction: We know where we are in life, what we want, and most importantly, what we don’t want! We may not always know how to get there, but at least we have a direction in mind.
* Independent: We don’t ‘need’ to be given things. We know how to get them ourselves. Of course, that said, it is still always nice to get stuff, so don’t assume that we’ll say no.
* No-Whining: We don’t need to whine. We’ll tell you how it is, straight up. We have no issues about being honest. It’s up to you to decide what you want to do or not do about it.
* Emotional Security: We do get our hearts broken and we do get hurt. But it just doesn’t bring our world crashing down. We know that life goes on, and so will we. No need for drama.
The list goes on, but it’s cold and this is as far as my brain can go at this point in time.

Hibernation
I don’t mind winter but my body just doesn’t react well to it! I become so lazy and lethargic it’s not even funny. To top things off, even though my eating habits haven’t changed, I somehow automatically gain weight during the cold season!
I think I need to go into hibernation for a while. Check on me every now and then.

Hello 2008
I had decided not to write a new year post. Then I went back to read what I’d written last year. It’s interesting to travel back in time and see through your own words what emotional state you were in!
Since I had talked about recycling in that post, I will re-use a few things that I had said back then, as they still apply today:
“May you be blessed with the wisdom that life is not about eternity. It’s about those moments that make it all worth while.”

Calling All Women!
A couple weeks ago I wrote a post asking men about traits they would desire/dislike in a wife. I think it’s only fair now to return the favor and ask women this time.
What are the top 3 characteristics you would want in a husband and what’s the one trait that would make you run in the opposite direction?

True Support
There are times when people we love hit a rough patch. As a result, their behavior totally changes. Our initial reaction, our impulse, tells us to get upset.. not to accept the change or the way they distance themselves, lie, or even deceive us.
When someone you love is going through a difficult time, it’s important to check your emotions at the door in order to help them. It doesn’t matter how what’s happening makes you feel. You’re not the one dealing with this situation. What matters, is that the person you care about is in trouble. Focus on them, their problem, and how you can help them out.. even if it means leaving them alone to sort things out.
When you want to support someone, you should do it wholeheartedly.. or not at all.
