It’s NOT your fault. You cannot control others; and that’s ok.

Whatever you do in life, live it free of guilt. It’s not your fault; what others do and don’t do usually doesn’t really involve you. Meaning that when others do things, they probably are so overwhelmed with stress that they (we) are mainly focused on our own emotions.

Once I stopped overthinking what others think of me, it was such a heavy weight lifted! It takes practice and patience, but anything you want to change- you can!

I often wonder if there is anyone left. Anyone left to carry on the wonderful memories and knowledge of the way things once were. 

Back then, life was simply a time to cherish. The roaring laughter, the punch lines that seemed to never end! One joke would continue to get funnier with each contributor. Each adding their own precisely timed puns to the already ROFLOAO funny joke!!! We could laugh at ourselves and each other for the cost of a red face. Your stomach muscles ached so well and tears of joy would roll. 

Occasionally, I wonder if that kind of happiness will ever exist again. Will I ever find people who can make me laugh like that? Who can share the same memories and knowledge? Who can appreciate the simple things in life?

  Occasionally I  wonder if that kind of happiness will ever exist again.

Are we slowly losing our laughter to the point of extinction? Are the days when you could breathe in and out like clockwork seizing to exist?  Will the next generation be as forgiving and understanding as this crazy and fun past generation?  I not only miss these amazing times of love, liberty, and laughter; but I miss my "people" dearly. 

I hope that the next generation can experience this type of happiness with their family (new and old). That they can find it in their heart to be compassionate and understand all others; not just family. If you have a passion for people, your "family" has no limits. 

Some families stay large and grow rapidly; while other families experience many losses, sooner as opposed to later. 
This generation of our family has experienced many of those over the past century. My heart aches, not only for my very up-close-and-personal loss of my eldest Son but also for the numerous other family members. 
You know it is in the future that we must care for and then bury our parents, but you never want to experience losing your children, no matter how old they are. 

You don't feel much like laughing after these events. That is where faith comes in and you must use it. So, my hope is that people will try not to be so mean to others because you just never know when your time is up; you don't want to have any regrets. 

So, my advice (take it or leave it) is to Laugh as hard as you Love; And Live like it is your Last Day! Stay true to yourself and others, and leave a little wiggle room for mistakes, but fix them fast.

The Essentials for Mental Health, Start with Faith and Patience!

The Essentials for Mental Health Start with Faith and Patience!

We (as parents) must instill religion and faith early on, as part of acquiring and retaining the healthy and happy minds of our children! 

We as parents take them for preventive shots, and we take our loved ones to the Emergency room for broken bones, but sometimes we neglect their mental health. We also sometimes neglect our own mental health. 

A broken mind needs medical care as well. 

Please; PLEASE PAY ATTENTION...

And DO everything you can possibly do to NOT lose your child/young adult, friend, loved one, or even a foe; to themselves (the taking of their own life)!  [Try to]Get them into counseling before they are teenagers; telling you that they refuse to talk to a "paid set of ears"; as my Tavin put it. Or if you are feeling down; then please talk to someone before you break your loved one's heart to pieces.

Depression is an excruciating, debilitating, and completely real mental condition!

You have to notice the signs and be willing to take the actions needed to get help;
for yourself and/or the person in turmoil! 
Even if they tell you that they are "fine", or "I can handle it myself"; or if the younger children are telling you that they don't feel good and don't know why (no specific pain area). It can actually be a symptom of a mental health issue. 

Our younger children don't really understand their emotions enough sometimes to decipher and inform you exactly what is giving them this unfamiliar yet sad feeling. 

It should also be mentioned that it can also be one of us adults that are feeling confused about the emotions we are feeling. You must be willing to see their point of view. Anger will only worsen the situation.

I feel the wrath of my guilt every day. Wishing I had been able to help my eldest son more. Although he wouldn't seek counseling or medicines, he took some of my advice and showed me he tried. He was so very miserable and determined; obviously now, after the fact. 

 If I can save someone from this kind of pain by sharing mine; then I have achieved something good from "a mother's worst nightmare"!

If you are the one feeling sad and can't seem to get a grip on it; then do whatever it takes to get the help you, and/or your loved ones just might find a need for. Sometimes just telling someone else what is so awful; we feel a little less weight from our issues.
