How Do We Deal With Rejection?

-

 I have been rejected yet again by the new guy.  I have experienced this more this year than any other time in my life.  I know someone else who had been rejected in a job position, well actually I've known of a few.  I have children in my job that have been rejected by other children not wanting to play with them.

Is there anyone who can say that they have never felt rejections?  I doubt very much that there is.  

I believe that we all receive rejection and handle it in accordance of where we are at emotionally.  I feel that if you are dating, in a job, with friends, etc. our state of mind and confidence comes into play.  I happen to have been in a very solid place, state of mind at the time I was presented by a friend to start dating this particular individual.  I was not out searching so when he abruptly ended our dates I find myself  doing rather well.  This was not the case after my past relationships because I had taken them very personally.  

I think a big part too, is how a "rejection" takes place, meaning is it done with bad intent or do they know things are not a good fit.  It could absolutely be that the other individual, job, child whatever is just not in a good place or not a good fit.  What I'm trying to express here is it may not be you!  You may have done absolutely nothing wrong.  The fit was all wrong for the person, job, sport or game, etc.

Now I would lying to myself if I said that I didn't feel a bit of a sting when I was dumped, we are all human and no one embraces rejection.  But if you know who you are, and are in a good place inside "just pull yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again".   And...this too will pass!!!

The Introduction

-
Have you ever had an internal voice? No not the same as hearing voices. It's like an internal conversation with yourself. I first notice that I had this when I was a young girl watching the Walton's. Remember the one when John Boy said "Mama, sometime I just have to write". It was at this time the I realize I had to do what John Boy did, keep a notebook by the bed. I make list all the time and when something profound pops in my head I have to write it down, if I won't it will just stay there till I write it. I always have a need to figure out, WHY??? Why people do what they do is a big one. I also try to solve things. A strong faith is another part of who I am. I am in no saying that Iam perfect or a holy roller. I just have a real need to keep learning more of what the bible has to teach me. I know I will be a better more loving person by having this knowledge. I have had many trials in my life and I will share more as I go, it is going to take some ...

Creating My Backyard Bird Sanctuary

-
 Sitting on the screened in porch on my deck watching many cardinals.  This started my summer project  of my  backyard bird sanctuary.  Which then took on a like of its own. I proceeded to cut Back many weeds and honeysuckle bushes to clear a huge area, I then sprayed poison ivy and many other ground coverings. I then went to the local garden store purchased a cardinal bird feeder, gathered my St. Francis statue that I had stored at my daughter's home.  I then saw my vision coming to life. My next purchase was a garden bench and a bird bath.  I hung another bird feeder.  I was seeing all minds of animal activities, birds of all kinds but speed of  cardinals.  Of course many squirrels, a fox on a chipmonk which I save from being eaten when I opened the door. But it was the deer family who hugely entertained me.  The deer were bucks with eight points,  a momma and two spotted babies.  I started placing pavers in the dirt whi...

If This Isn't a Sign...

-
When I was in third grade and attending Catholic School, I had a nun for my teacher. She use to always tell great stories about prayer, I loved to hear her stories. They always stuck with me along with her way of praying. She believed in signs and that was how she knew her prayers were answered. She also told us that when ever she heard an ambulance she would say a "Hail Mary"; I have done that since third grade. I have planted alot of things in my yard and gardens and on the back hill I have a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that leads to my gazabo. Many years ago I planted many daffodils and some tulips. The daffodils came up very plentiful but to my disappointment only one red tulip would come up and bloom, year after year, the one red tulip. I always thought of this tulip as a sign that my brother Mark was okay with the Lord up in Heaven. Mark died back in 1979, in a tradgic car accident. Last year I swear I only remember the one tulip blooming. Well, I know ...
