Instant Inquiry: Frequent Comments

Do you mind when someone comments on your blog too much? Is it possible to wear out ones welcome? I don’t mind frequent visits but some folks could be bothered. What do you think?

A New Theme, Again – Back To 2014

I have made a change to my theme of my blog. Once again I am using the 2014 theme that provides me more flexibility in showing off my content. This is not my first go around with this theme and I like the way it works. I hope you like it, your feedback is welcome!

When Your Good News Isn’t Good For Someone Else

Telling someone some news that they weren’t hoping to hear can be a challenge. It’s like tearing a bandaid off your skin, sometimes it just good to get it over with. Making choices and decisions in life can mean disappointing people you love, but ultimately it’s your life and you have one shot at it. Life can be full of surprises that can make you happy and sad at the same time. Receiving news you weren’t expecting can break your heart or lift you up. In the case where you love someone you are sharing something they didn’t want to hear it can be difficult but you have to trust things will be alright in the end.

When you love your family and friends you want to share the good and bad things in your life. Sometimes good things in your life will mean not very good for others so then it gets tough. One needs to remember that it’s your life and you can’t live it for anyone else. When you are married, attached, committed to someone then there is an added dimension to your situation you have to abide by the fact you are not alone and its joint decision that needs to be made. You just hope for peace and understanding through it all and perhaps reconciliation when needed.
