Sometimes…

Too little is too easy.

Ignoring is easier than acknowledging.

People are crazy without any reason.

Time is never enough.

Let’s talk about Perceptions and Who you are/Share

How do you go from changing the inside to match up with the outside? Or do you?

We all have felt different about things or perhaps ourselves and our inner side versus our outer appearance, persona, or other. Is it a plot of betrayal that we plan, when they do not go hand in hand?(sorry that rhyming poet in me came out).

I do not think so.

Sometimes people keep things to themselves, because they do not want others to figure out their motives, their thoughts, or their insecurities. On some occasions it could be something that might cause you to lose someone dear, or possibly cause you to lose your job, friends, family, or just plain out LOSE.

We all do things based on how others will perceive us or interact with us, and sometimes because we want a certain impression of ourselves seen, when it comes to another person. Sometimes people do actually plot to be a certain way or at least perceived in a certain way. In other words, it is a deliberate attempt.

Perceptions are sensing, sometimes there is a good enough reason to perceive another’s motive, thoughts, or what have you.

per·cep·tion
[pərˈsepSH(ə)n]

NOUN
the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.

My challenge to you is this…

Try to look honestly at how you come across to another person. Honestly critique yourself. The point in this is to be the person you are, really, not the one you created for show.

Now if there is things you like to keep private, that is okay. I believe that sometimes we need our own secrets. On the occasion, though that you come across as fake or not real, you should really ask yourself why. It is all a part of self managing and being healthy from the inside, in our own minds.

I don’t know why I decided to write about this, but I hope you can gather something useful from it. I apologize if it is hard to understand. My mind thinks so much faster than I can write.

Have a good evening, day, morning, night, whatever it is where you are at.

Thoughts from my mind…share

Joy comes in the morning

I often heard this while I was growing up.

What on earth could it mean, I thought.

I think it could mean, joy comes after you have had a rough day.

To be able to wake up, with a different frame of mind. Maybe a new perspective, possibly another chance to change something.

I do not know for sure, guess I could Google it!

I do know though this, if you carry things that bother you to bed and those things are preying on your mind, you can’t really have a good morning, now can you?

So it is best to go to bed with a clear conscious, a satisfied heart, perhaps a grateful one. You will then awake with joy in your heart.

Joy that you are alive, your heart is mended, and your given another chance to do whatever you need or want to do.

Thanks for reading my writing babble…lol

Tell me what you think this means!!

Good evening, good night, sleep tight..

Thoughts on life…

How sad to have no purpose in life, but to just live.

Why would you even want to exist?

By claiming a purpose, or having some meaning, we can claim better days, fruitful days, and the occasion to smile.

Without that, life would be like a mouse that’s been caught in a trap.

Life seems hopeless, and is slowly fading away, as the pain becomes too much to deal with.

No way to escape.

I urge you to find meaning in things, to find joy and purpose.

Without it, living would be in vain.

Let’s talk about…kids and government

How in the world can we give our kids what they need in life if our government sticks it’s nose in our home and personal affairs?

I am not one of those people who want to over throw our government, but let me tell you… after looking at this mornings headlines and like many other mornings. Most certainly, like many other days of headline news, the government is invading our personal “bubbles”.

I just think that it is our own personal right to discipline, guide, nurture,  and love our own kids  the best way we see fit. Too often you hear about the government charging parents with something that their children have done, yet the government tells us that we are not right when we try to punish them and in the way we see fit. The kid, in my opinion, would not had been in trouble so much, enough to warrant the parent’s arrest, if they had of had some form of discipline or consequence, for their actions. Yet, our government steps into our homes and calls it child abuse.  Um…ok…not.

I am not a gun-ho disciplinarian, but I did punish my kids when need be, and they did get consequences for deliberate disobedience. I would have probably been locked up myself, considering that our government thinks physical punishment, is bad. I also did a lot of re-directing, my kids when they were young. It worked most of the time, but there was occasions it didn’t.  I had time-outs, and taking away privileges and “what not”but I disagree with the government telling me how to do things when it comes to my own family or my own free will.

I am not trying to start a “over ride” of policies or start a “hate” campaign. I just wish that the government would mind their own business. I do not walk into their offices and tell them how to do things, especially when I don’t know what it is about. Follow me here? Even if you agree or disagree, we should come to a joint agreement that we all are entitled to certain inalienable rights. Right?

One of the most important things we have are our kids. Our children are the best gift we have been giving. If we have our hands, “tied”, how are we to help them to be the best and happiest , that they can be.

Locking the parents up who spanked their child…

Or walking into a person’s home and removing their kids, without just cause or on a “here say”…

I have a hard time with this.

There are real cases of abuse and deliberate harm to a kid that happens. There are mean parents that intentionally hurt their kids. They should be the ones to get put into jail. When there are people though that want what’s best for their kids, they should be commended.

Not apprehended!

Thanks for reading!

Have a good day, share away!

Michelle, MwsR ❤


More Information for you!!!



Parental Rights, Parental Responsibilities

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that parents have a fundamental right to rear their children without undue interference by the government. (Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510 (1925.) But, in the same decision, the Court upheld the power of states to force parents to ensure that their children attend school. So, parenting is by no means an unfettered right and, as with many rights, it carries significant legal responsibilities

https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/criminal-defense/juvenile/parents-responsibility-childs-criminal-actions



Status crimes

Some parental responsibility laws hold parents legally accountable for allowing their children to engage in conduct that would not be illegal if done by an adult, such as skipping school (truancy) or breaking curfew laws. Truancy and curfew violations are considered “status crimes,” because they penalize conduct that is only illegal based on the status (in this case, age) of the person engaged in the conduct. As mentioned above, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the power of states to compel school attendance. And parental responsibility to make sure children attend school is an “affirmative duty,” meaning that a parent has to actively ensure their attendance. (An exception to truancy laws has been made for home schooling that meets state standards.)

Courts have also upheld parental responsibility under curfew laws applyed to minors, based on the vulnerability of children and the public interest in protecting their welfare.



Contributing crimes

Any adult, not merely a parent or guardian, may be prosecuted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor if the adult encourages or induces the minor to engage in criminal activity. For example, an adult (whether a parent of a child or not) who furnishes a minor with alcohol will be prosecuted under state law penalizing contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Unlike parental responsibility for status crimes (which is generally based on negligent parenting), parental liability under contributing crimes is based on the parent (or other adult) having actually enabled or induced the minor’s illegal conduct.



http://www.apa.org/monitor/2012/04/spanking.aspx/

Parents in the domestic trenches are probably not all that interested in what the research shows anyway. Despite a battery of disciplinary techniques, including the infamous “time out,” redirection and the increasing emphasis on positive discipline (try substituting “hold the cup carefully” for “don’t spill your juice”), spanking and slapping are still pretty popular.

Moms and dads who spank do so because they believe it’s effective, and research actually shows that it is — in the short-term. A child reaching for a tempting object will stop if he gets swatted. “It does work in the immediate moment, but beyond that, in most cases, it’s very ineffective,” says Holden. “The most common long-term consequence is that children learn to use aggression.”

https://www.newsmax.com/US/spanking-studies-children-spock/2010/01/07/id/345669/

Dr. Diana Baumrind of the University of California, Berkeley and her teams of professional researchers over a decade conducted what is considered the most extensive and methodologically thorough child development study yet done. They examined 164 families, tracking their children from age four to 14. Baumrind found that spanking can be helpful in certain contexts and discovered “no evidence for unique detrimental effects of normative physical punishment.”

She also found that children who were never spanked tended to have behavioral problems, and were not more competent than their peers.

As in climate change, politicians all over the world seem out of touch with the most rigorous science regarding parental discipline. The newest research could constitute powerful ammunition to parents rights activists seeking to reverse the global trend of intrusive governments muscling themselves between the rod and the child.

Today Is Bad Poetry Day, Ha ha

I looked at my yahoo calendar today. On my calendar I have allowed notifications for Funny Holidays. So, when I opened it this morning, I found out it was “BAD POETRY DAY”. 

Imagine that!

Is there such a thing as bad poetry?  I guess so, if the grammar and spelling on it is atrocious.  However, I think all poetry, in any style , shape, or fashion, is not bad. It really is a personal preference I would say. So, in lieu of it being” Bad Poetry Day”, I guess I will try to write something to illustrate this funny holiday.




Bad Poetry

Enside us al is tha capabilitie  to fale,

It is en ennate ryte to mispel.

Whin we do we wyl be cratigued

Trust me, I can already cee.

If yur spel chek is knot working

Your peace of work will be baad

Arent u glad I reminded u!?

Now geet it ryte.




YEP, I think that about sums it up folks!

Happy Bad Poetry Day!

“Learn to fly”, said the mother bird as she pushed her little one from the nest.

Fly, he did.

Until a giant hawk spied him.

His mother didn’ t warn him about the many dangers in the sky.

Only the ones crawling on the ground.

If his mother had of, he would had never took to flight.

Let’s Write About Me/Personal Share

cropped-20180805_1830083599712651060654730.jpg

So,

I was just thinking to myself that a lot of you call me Mws, which is my writer name. My adopted name is Michelle. My birth name was changed once I was adopted.


Some things about me are:

I love a variety of animals. I am such a freak about animals. I love watching them, love touching them, and love loving them. Ask my family to name one thing about me, bet it will be my love for animals. The second thing better be how much I love!  Lol


I really like to express my thoughts, feelings, and emotions with words. I also like to write trying my best to express what another person might be feeling in their life. I don’t know why but it is something I feel I do well.   I was asked to write a poem once from a person’s perception of another person, one who has passed away. They wanted me to write a poem to express their relationship with this person that passed away. I  had no clue what their relationship was like but I gave it a shot after getting some information from the person relating to their life with this other person.  I wrote from my heart, picturing in my own mind what it would feel like to be I that person’s shoes. I wrote from a perspective I knew some about but the rest of what I wrote was from my own empathy.


That is just one thing though, in my life, years ago that led me to write for public viewing. At first I was not careful. I did not check my spelling or grammar, much. I wrote things though that were received with fabulous comments from onlookers. I was not a writer that had perfect wording or penmanship but I was one who wrote as my heart led me. I am and have always been a lover of rhyming. Dr. Seuss and I share a birthday so I immediately felt a kinship with this master of rhymes. I have always sang songs with my children making a rhythmic wordy song. They looked at me like I was crazy most of the time, but moments when they were little, was precious and I made them laugh as I ran around the house singing crazy made up songs that had the tune of a familiar song.


Anyhow,

I also like hearts, in case you have not noticed, from my signature and my page. They are my favorite shapes. I also love to cook, thus the reason why I post recipes also.  I am a middle child. Which makes me, in theory, the troublemaker or the one who is a handful. Ha ha. I laugh at that. Stereotypes can so be wrong!

I went through college, I stayed on the Dean’s List the whole time too. No, I am not a smart one, but I determined I was going to be the best me I could be in college. It helped that it was a degree that I lived, so to speak, in my own life. I was familiar with the subjects. They were like secondhand knowledge to me. It was an easy “A” for me in that regard. Not to say I did not have a lot to memorize, and learn.


Therefore,

I am a simple-ton. I am not materialistic at all. I am not a brand hog, I wear what feels good. I am a diabetic, type 2. I am a friendly sort of person, if you ever meet you, hopefully you will agree. I love sunsets, water, oceans, and flying. I believe there is an eternal place we all will reach after we die. I believe in my country. I also believe that doing good not only benefits the person receiving it but the one giving it.



And lastly,

I  have not had the prettiest life, the fanciest life, or the easiest one yet I am a survivor of abuse, neglect, and judgements.  I love to hear birds sing, laying in the grass as a breeze blows, and sharing time with my precious family and friends.

This may be too much to know, or too little to know of me, but it is simply the real me. I hope to make friends, people smile and have peace in the rest of my life.

Take care, thanks for reading,

MwsR<3
