Do what you can, with major hurricanes our country needs you.

The rush of wind

Swirling water

Sounds whirling

Turning items

Creating confusion 

Of place

For once that was here

Is now there

If to be found at all

-Jennie Nawrocki

There is so much I could write about that would let people see how I feel about their actions and behavior.  On the other hand,  one of the greatest insights to teaching, parenting or even relating to strangers is yes first impressions are good but what is that based on.  That  idea is a derivative of the concept of modeling the behavior you want.  From a person who feeds off of others thoughts this can be hard but sometimes you still have to be the person you want to be and soon that genuinely gentle behavior will be given in return.

I spent most of my younger days vowing to be the best person I could be and follow all the rules.  I have encountered so many people along the way who thought my life was boring and it needed to be spiced up.  I think I want to stick with boring for a little while interspersed with a little laughter.

You have no reason to be upset

No, you can’t have that

It’s not personal 

Turned out to be personal 

Everything will be ok

Until the expiration date 

I have every right

I have no rights

It is fun

When you get nothing

Sure join us

Except you

-Jennie Nawrocki 

The day to start new and give maybe some words of wisdom.  I shan’t say that after last week I have had a lot but somehow I think we all should love. Love people for the stereotypes they might be or even the ones they aren’t. Search for love in places you never saw it before or renew it once it has been lost. I am.

I get gifts like these because:

I don’t obey voices.

Jimmy is married to Nancy.

Ben has Lindsey.

My mother is Connie my father is Thomas but really my MOTHER is Lisa and my FATHER is Nick.

I have family and friends who used to call me frenemies who now refer to me as just their enemy.

It is my job to be depressed, fearful and angry.

Any questions?

It isn’t that speaking is hard, nor is listening to an opposing view.  I should know my world is filled with opposing views and unfortunately even I have seen things disappear for their differences of opinion.  What I think bothers people most in a disagreement is they simply don’t feel respected for their beliefs or as a person.  Think about it have you ever been in an argument and somebody doesn’t have the empathy to listen, hear, or even understand your side.  Some people think that is my downfall the inability to see the other side, however often I see your side completely or at least the information relayed to me.  I have put myself in your shoes but in some situations they never seem to fit.  I think in these scenarios it is important to realize some issues just might not be agreed upon.  For example, take a simple issue such as does the toilet paper positioning matter.  For you who may not know some people say there is a correct way to place the toilet paper on the toilet paper dispenser.  Now it could be a deal breaker or inconsequential for you or anywhere in between though are you able to see, respect and understand someone who doesn’t.  How would you handle the conversation if you were or encountered a deal breaker about it?  It’s knowing right whether the issue is just about toilet paper or something entirely different.  It’s knowing if this is a pick your battles or can you arrive at a consensus after talking.  Whatever it may be to me and I even have to work on this skill is to keep these issues doing anything except showing regardless of the outcome the argument was completed with sincere consideration, maybe then it could never be an argument but a conversation.

Effort is important 

Regardless of situation 

You may have

Not gained a metal

Though last time

You were farther back

Than when beginning 

Soon you will be

Farther than before

Even with a little

Angst and sweat

For one day 

Your goal is met.

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Cicadas chiming 

Noisy to some 

Calming to others

Fill the night air

Cooling steadily

With cold water in hand

Friends by your side

Laughing about nothing 

For all the drama

Melted in the hot sun 

Hours ago

For at the end

Of the day

We just want

To be together

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Look when it comes to relationships I shouldn’t give any advice.  I have been hurt because my privacy was taken away, my thoughts included.  It is no secret about how things could be seen several different ways all at the same time and some of them are so opposing that you shiver (spasm) even vomit at the idea of one over the other.  You can’t think of this person as this person here and this person there, yet you can and oh wait let’s throw in a few more possibilities too. It has driven me insane to focus on one scenario without saying to myself well he could also be this person because of this example. So to get back at people I start thinking of them in situations they wouldn’t like either. Well we began to offend each other, each time upping the grossness and crappiness of it. It was a mutual or reciprocal relationship and it got sick and nasty.  He would play people I knew and I would imagine him as all those people too also fighting to not imagine as all those people.  So thoughts swirled recent people and images swirled around for both of us, maybe me more than him because I never had the validation that it was just this person or that person which didn’t exactly make it easy to narrow it down to just one person.  It still doesn’t and still is scary when unexpected flashes of images of people in situations that never happened.  I have been known to cry, scream and feel angry when something goes horribly mixed up or question what really occurred and in what order. It is true I hated not knowing what just happened. Which is why I get so depressed because I will only know what people want me to remember.
