Happy Heart Day

Happy Valentine's Day To All

The Up Side

Good morning friends. Here are some good words to some people. I want to share it with you. It’s a nice thing.

“A friend of mine, Olga, has developed her own personal definition of success. She says that ‘Success is when you are happy to go to work in the morning and happy to come back in the evening, and you are very welcome and liked in both places.’” –Scott W. Ventrella, from his book Me, Inc: How to Master the Business of Being You

“It is impossible to hold a grudge and have peace of mind at the same time. It would be like trying to have day and night exist in the same moment.” – Lee L. Jampolsky, Ph.D., author of Smile for No Good Reason

“If you always tell the truth, you do not need a good memory.” – Submitted by Guideposts reader Gwendolyn Wilson, of Laurel, Mississippi

“Happiness: something to do, somebody to love, something to look forward to.” – Adair Lara, in her new book, The Bigger the Sign, the Worse the Garage Sale

“Wake up every morning expecting blessings from God and you will not be able to count them by the end of the day.” – submitted by Guideposts reader Cynthia Scott, of Medon Tennessee

Motherly Wrath (2)

Sadly, such competition with one’s own children is more common than you think. When a marriage is not going well and a spouse turns to a child for much needed support and love that the partner cannot or will not give, jealousy, anger, abuse and neglect will often surface.

Dad is jealous of his son who is so close to mom. He resents his son and feels that the boy is receiving the love and affection from the mother that belongs to him. The boy becomes a silent competition for the mother’s love. And the kid is always at the losing end as far as his father is concerned.

You would be surprised at how often this happens. In similar fashion, when the daughter is dad’s favorite, the wife will resent the attention the girl is getting if she feels her husband love is wanting. She might deny it till she is blue in the face, but her irritation and impatience with the girl will be a sure sign that it is so. Often, the anger and jealousy will break out in open conflict as the mother and daughter make war on each other.

We always say that we want a better life for our kids than we had, but the truth is that sometimes there is a feeling that the children are far luckier than the parents. And, unless the parents are solid and mature, there can be resentment and anger towards them. Not something that the parent is ready to admit to, but something that is obvious to those who know the family.

Can parents become jealous and envious of their own children? Absolutely, if the conditions are right. - Bob Garon

Courtship (2)

You cannot force someone to love you even if you are crazy in love. And even if your partner is madly in love with you, there is no guarantee that it will last over the years. Love is a dynamic, living, breathing force that is susceptible to all kinds of changes. We have all seen love turned upside down when it is least expected. We have seen incredibly intense love cool off and become hard and insensitive.

Lovers need to know this and court accordingly. Courtship is a very uncertain time. Though two persons commit to go steady, their commitment is built on shaky ground even if they feel it is strong. This is because the commitment to go steady is made at a time when neither knows the other very well and therefore cannot predict the outcome of the courtship.

People who court should do so with caution. They need to keep in mind that the possibility of the relationship not working out is very real. They should put thoughts of marriage on the back burner until they get to know each other very well.

This will require a reasonable length of time. Quickie courtships that lead to the altar almost always end up in disaster. Courtship is the road to marriage and marriage is very serious business. It should be approached with the respect and caution it commands.-The Manila Times
