Responsibility No More Time To See How The Wind Blows

Time to take character inventory of the kind of people we have around us. Are they part of our family? A friend, an associate or perhaps a business partner?

Do they unnecessarily contribute to our stress or our anxieties? What are we doing about it? Take stock. Much of our sanity and well-being depend on it. Take irresponsibility out of the door.

Characterize a responsible person and these are things he or she is NOT:

1. Able to do anything without guidance or supervision.
2. Accountable and unanswerable for his or her own behavior.
3. Someone who can be trusted or depended upon to do things on his or her own volition.
4. Able to follow through on obligations.
5. Conscious of agreed upon or set rules.
6. Able to stand on own actions, impulsive but always blames others for his mistakes.
7. Trustworthy.
8. In possession of good self-esteem.

Anyone will get that picture good...

Learning how to tackle responsibility into one's life:

1. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.
~Erica Jong

2. Even when we know what is right, too often we fail to act. More often we grab greedily for the day, letting tomorrow bring what it will, putting off the unpleasant and unpopular.
~Bernard M. Baruch

3. The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
~Albert Ellis

4. You are not responsible for the programming you picked up in childhood. However, as an adult, you are one hundred percent responsible for fixing it.
~Ken Keyes, Jr.

5. We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. ~George Bernard Shaw

6. Why do children want to grow up? Because they experience their lives as constrained by immaturity and perceive adulthood as a condition of greater freedom and opportunity. But what is there today, in America, that very poor and very rich adolescents want to do but cannot do?

Not much: they can "do" drugs, "have" sex, "make" babies, and "get" money (from their parents, crime, or the State). For such adolescents, adulthood becomes synonymous with responsibility rather than liberty. Is it any surprise that they remain adolescents?
~Thomas Szasz

Nuff Said!

Vitamin C - Sodium Ascorbate

Healing meant I needed to take care of myself better. And so I started taking FERN C - the non-acidic form of ascorbic acid - sodium ascorbate. I dissolve it in half a glass of water and then drink the solution. When I researched the internet about sodium ascorbate this was what I found. "Sodium Ascorbate powder is a non-acidic form of Vitamin C. Vitamin C has intrinsic antiviral and antibacterial activity though its main effect is improvement in host resistance. Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C Powder) may be beneficial in: General immunity boosting, helping to ward off or prevent colds & flus, assisting the healing wounds, aiding the body in fighting infection, etc. Unlike most animals that produce their own Vitamin C, the human body does not synthesize any. Whether for general immunity boosting or for the treatment of a specific condition, one requires more Vitamin C than our contemporary diet supplies. The amount of vitamin C you take daily determines its effectiveness. 60 mg

Forgive and Forget?

  Unforgiven I believe in forgiveness, in wishing those well who have hurt me. But I'm going to make an exception. Because the truth is, I hope to God you suffer very heartache you put me through. I hope when the darkness comes for you, it will hit you twice as hard as it hit me. And I hope you will curse my name, knowing I was the one who sent it. - Lang Leave Count the number of times I have unforgiven you. For the Universe sake, I could be joking.

Through a Timeline No Sham

 Seize her. Time to measure me. Look at a deeper, truer image.  Memory from 68 years past. Imagination, hearsay, mystery, photographs.  Unsaid words, uncluttered thoughts, driven by the wind, caressed by the sun. I see a bony framed child on a bike.  I see a monster beside me. Be still. I am so afraid.  I see an insecure adolescent. I see a sad faced girl - confused.  Who is she?
