This is a satire

It’s Saint Valentines Day, February 14th, for many people around the world who will be celebrating that little bastard…err cherub. Why is it only Christmas that has one miserable old man, Ebenezer Scrooge? For, Saint Valentine’s Day, has so many more miserable people, at all ages, who will just say the same thing that old geezer has been saying for a century on the Christmas holiday, “Bah! Humbug!”

Maybe you’re single, in a divorce, crappy relationship, or just not happy with who you are with. Being uninterested or uninteresting can make a lot of people feel unhappy. So we should all start by loving ourselves. That is right! You have tolerated yourself for years! When, maybe, others couldn’t tolerate you for decades. So why not celebrate all things you this Valentine’s Day?

Buy yourself some chocolate. Go eat some ice cream. Find some flower vender on the side of the road and shower the seller with money as you smother yourself in the sweet smell of flowers or roses. 

Be happy with you! Love yourself. After all you have your, real life, beating heart right there smack dab in the middle of your chest. Be good to yourself. Realize this Valentine’s Day that no matter how bad a relationship you have had, or have, that you have the best of the best, you have, YOU! And that ain’t bad. 

It’s worse when someone doesn’t value who you are as a person. And buying a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolate, only once a year, doesn’t demonstrate your value in the least. Their action throughout an entire year is what counts. Sorry ladies, Valentine’s Day is a sham. Men are being told to celebrate you once a year when you deserved to be celebrated all year round.

This blog isn’t about being bitter for anything or anyone who has found love. Because love is a bonding, loving, occurrence and when you decided to break off that love from your soul and give it to someone else who doesn’t care can be more than heartbreaking. The results of breaking away a piece of you can be devastating to your body to the point where you think you can’t breathe because someone rejected your love. 

Your love just wasn’t meant for that person. So you, we, all of us, press on and while we move on, we return to loving ourselves. We learn to grow back the part of our heart and soul that we gave the other person while watching that person take our love for granted and we make progress to healing.

As people we accept that heartache as a part of life. We live and learn. But we only learn long enough until someone else comes back in our life and we rip those stitches out of the chest, killing all that healing, and dissolving any head way we made of accepting the loss of the prior person we gave our heart to, before THIS person, who just waltzed in on Valentine’s Day, decided they wanted some heart action from you. So after wining and dining, on Valentine’s Day, you suspect that their intentions aren’t genuine and leaving you to think about their future disappointments that this NEW person may hand down to you. So, you just go back to loving youself because, loving yourself is what’s the best, for us, and then we heal our heart again. Well, you know what? “Bah! Humbug!”

"Far Away"

You are here: Home » "Far Away" May 5th, 2012 For mommy in heaven… My kids wouldn't let me sleep last night. I kept them busy all afternoon and evening, yet they were still very hyper. I picked Nico up from school at 2:00 o'clock P.M. and decided to take them for a road trip to Broward County. It's a close drive from where we live. I am just one county over to the north. I didn't feel like going home and falling into the same routine. I wanted to stimulate the boys so that they would sleep later that night. Honestly, maybe we all could get some sleep that night. It's hard to get motivated in life when you are sleep-deprived. Nico leaves class about 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the school. Since he was a premature baby, he has had a learning delay with speech. The State of Florida placed him in a program called Early Steps. It's a great program, and it allows him to catch up to the rest of his peers academically so that by the time h...

Hi Mama. Bye Mama

You are here: Home » Hi Mama. Bye Mama. June 26, 2012 Hi mama. Bye, mama. And so it goes. Up the street, hi, mama, down the street, bye, mama. The boys know where they can find mommy. It's just down the road, a path we take every day. Everywhere we go. We go with the flow. Hi mama. Bye, mama. It always starts the same, the familiar path of the road the boys have become accustomed to. It doesn't matter what we do; we will always pass right on through; regardless of how we travel, mom will always be on their left or their right. She's never too far out of sight. Hi mama. Bye, mama. The boys anticipate the car ride. They look on either side as we drive by, seeking a clear view of their mama to be seen through. They eagerly await with no other thought on their plate. They are just waiting for the moment to see their number one visually. Hi mama. Bye, mama We are getting closer now; they look at Dad, their pal. Their smiles reach from ear to ear, knowing the time is near...

Anatomy of a Loss

You are here: Home » Anatomy of a Loss July 5, 2012 When you lose someone that you love and that you depend on, it feels like everything around you has just crashed and burned. It doesn't matter what is happening in the world because yours just got charred beyond recognition. You are forced to reprogram everything about you. Who you are. What your path in life was. The goals you had planned. Everything before the death of a loved one is scraped.  Your mind wanders about aimlessness, and you just go over your mind time and time again about how you will be able to do it. Where do you go from here? You are afraid and bewildered because you are unsure what to do and who to turn to. You find that you question God and yourself and examine everything about your life.  The doubts set in about yourself, and you want to return to the day before so badly just to reassure yourself that everything ...
