PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE (KNITTING WITHOUT DOG HAIR IS NOT AN OPTION)

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person..

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life...
...whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Jacquie sent me this message yesterday and I love it so much that I wanted to share it here.

Yesterday was pretty emotional and in parts very draining and I am kind of glad the day is over. I went to dinner with a bunch of friends. The restaurant was at Atlantic Station and it took me over freakin' 30 minutes to find my car. I got totally turned around and I think I walked the whole parking lot with a gazillion bags, sweating and in desperate need of a bathroom. At some point I truly thought someone stole Irwin's sports car. But eventually I found it, whew. And I felt like a complete idiot...

I am pretty exhausted today and I working from home. YAY for that.

While I was looking through boxes the other day to find pictures, I found something that Irwin looked for ever since we moved into the house in 2003.

Irwin looked all over for this binder. It contains treasured leaflets and information about his very favorite jigsaw puzzle brand. It is so bizarre that the binder was sitting in a box in a corner of his office. Sorry honey - found it too late for you, but I'll treasure it just as much.

I am going to clear out more boxes from his office today and hang a bunch of pictures in the hallway and then I'll be heading to Knitch this afternoon.

There's an old saying that goes, "if you want to find something, stop looking for it".

So true.

The sentiment sent to you is awesome. It really is something to treasure.

I've lost my car several times - and it gets so frustrating. I get mad at myself but don't think it's entirely my fault. I do believe there are gremlins who have the sole purpose of messing with our heads and moving things. Good news is it is always in the last place you look.

I'm not a big believer in coincidence. I much prefer the saying, "Coincidence is god's way of staying anonymous." I don't think it was a coincidence that you found the binder... I'd prefer it was Irwin's way of saying, "Hey, Honey, just wanted to let you know I'm still with you." :)

The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride f*cking with you. F*ck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.
