Unique Perceptions

Everyone comes from different experiences and has a different understanding of the world. Don't make the assumption that your perspective is the right one; it's just the right one for you.

I wrote that a while ago, but I like to reread it occasionally to remind myself why I originally thought of it.  Many people automatically think of the person/s in their lives that are so very different from themselves.  The haughty mom in the PTA, the meth-head at the local clinic, the CEO of a high-powered corporation, or maybe the church lady that is constantly "judging" you or others.  Before I continue, I would like to point out, that those people are not really "different" from you, they just have a different understanding of the world (like the quote says).

Back to why I originally had this thought.  It was my children.  We raise our children to be mini-us.  They follow us, walk and talk like us, spend every waking moment possible with us, but yet they develop into radically different people from us.  When the baby takes his/her first breathe, the world around them is being absorbed in a completely different pattern than what we lived.  They are being blessed with their own unique process.  It will definitely not be the world we grew up in. It can't be.  As scary as it sometimes sounds to us, it is very exciting for them.  I remind myself regularly of their unique perceptions, so I don't accidentally squash that excitement and discovery for them.  

I try to keep up with the ever-evolving world and embrace every moment I can.... especially with my babies :)

Timing

Timing is everything.  One of the many things we hear growing up.  Only through bad timing do we actually learn it. Repeatedly, over and over again, our entire lives, we miss things (maybe we never do learn it?)   But, sometimes, the timing is spot on, in the less likely of circumstances.

Maybe it's God's way of saying, "you're timing's not perfect, mine is.  Sit back and enjoy the ride."

Maybe our world is saying, "hold up, wait a minute, that door hasn't opened yet."

We push and pull so hard, striving for things that we swear will make us happy.

my social media on July 5th:

You can't make everyone happy, or even one person happy all the time. Your happiness really depends on you. And, if you're happy, that happy may, in turn, help someone else be happy. So, in the end, all you can really do, is choose to be happy. ...... but alas, you can't expect to be happy all the time, so content is good, and more rewarding in the long run. ... Own your happiness, and let others borrow it from time to time 

"Own your happiness."

Here's to old discoveries made anew:
True success and happiness can only be found through a series of mistakes and bad timing.

Organizing

How many times do I restart this blog before I realize I really only have free time at the end of summer break or at the end of Christmas break? I need to actually schedule time.  I feel better after I blog.  Promise to myself: schedule time to work on website and blog....
I think I over-think it. Like usual. I over-analyze and over-think everything.  My greatest weakness.
I will keep these short and thoughtful (maybe, lol) and stop trying, and just do.

My unique discovery today: using a coat rack to hang my pots and pans.

I went to multiple stores looking for a "small" pot/pan ceiling hanger thingy (yes, exactly that). The only ones I could find were these monstrous contraptions that would eat my kitchen.

Walking past the "rack and shelf" aisle, I thought, why not!?  

Ingenious.

Note: make sure the rack is bolted into the cross beams.
