Saturday Morning Thoughts ... 8-26-2017
Gloria Faye Brown Bates
What's sad is when you try to hide your needs ... then something happens to expose them 'to the world' when you fooled them into thinking you have everything never asking for anything.
Life can be sad ... it waits for no one. The sad thing is one can't tell everyone important in their life ... what's wrong. They have to think what they will ... all the while ... time goes on.
You can't see this until you've experienced so many things in life ... and are older. By that time ... one learns to keep things to themselves and let people think what they will ... even if it's wrong.
Why? Pride and ... never letting anyone think you are asking anything of them. Why? Because of caring too much about others, respecting others ... knowing you don't ever want to take from them ... because you love them.
Sadly, situations in life expose things one hides ... need. It's easier to do without ... than to ask. It's sad when one has always had and gave ... than to be the one who doesn't and receives.
These are my Saturday morning thoughts about Life. No one has to comment on them. They are thoughts that came to my mind.
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers and caring thoughts for Skip. He laid down most of the day but, I would go to him and read them to him. It meant so much to him. It meant so much to me to tell him. He loved, respected his mother ... he didn't have the financial means to go to her.
Through time ... our illnesses have put us in financial straits. Life can be that way ... one learns to make the best of it ... it's sad though when things happen. What's sadder when you have to tell anyone so, they can understand the whys?
Dukester and I enjoyed our walk in the cool, cool air. It felt so nice. It has been raining ... and began again at the end of our walk.
Camie and Kissy have been staying by Skip's side ... they know something isn't right with their Skip. Pups are Special ... they care always. <3 <3 <3
Author's Note:
Skip's beautiful mother went to Heaven yesterday ... 8-25-2017. While he didn't get to see her often ... he loved her very much.
