Thinking Positively About Daily Troubles

Thinking Positively About Daily Troubles

I've read two blogs by somebody else and enjoyed them and here is my two cents worth. One email complains that he will never get together with a long-distance emailing lady, then the next complains about a series of work-related problems, starting with a flat battery, and his being cross becase mother his mother says I warned you to get a service - I told you so.

First he is sighing because he has a great email relationship with somebody who lives too far away.

1 A really good emailing relationship is a treasure. Much better than one liners, insults, people you don't have anything in common with. You've found a soulmate. Lovely.

2 If you met too soon, you might lose that.

3 To be sure you like the look of each other you need to go on cam and speak.

You should be looking nearer home for something long-term.

Now, his second blog. He's had a bad day. This is where his email lady comes in. She's his confidante. I told him:

She's your support for when you've had a hard day. Unlike your mother, your email friend doesn't need to get so anxious because she's not too close, physically or mentally. And that's partly why you like her, because she's calm and supportive.

Regarding his mother, I have to say she was right, that a stitch in time saves nine. Getting a car or truck serviced is not superstition, it's common sense. If you have a mother who cares. That's lovely.

Some people like me don't have a mother. Mine died.

Just hold onto that thought. There are irritations in life and there are tragedies. Enjoy life and think of the irritations as learning experiences. Don't look at the minuses, look at the pluses.

They say that if you want a friend you have to be a friend. If a man is missing a long term partner, maybe he has to think about committing, or being the strong, confident, happy person who a woman feels she can rely on to support her through life's troubles.

And instead of getting angry at mother, he should have told her how much he appreciates her advice, and how he should have listened to her because she is always right.

Poor mother. She tried to help him. All he did was get irritated. She cares for him.

I don't even know him and I care for him and his mother. I'm looking at his life and mine and thinking what lessons I can learn.

I know what I want most from life. A man who is calm and supportive in one's daily troubles. Can I be the same for him? I will try.
