So you know when you’re having one of those days when…. well, no need to explain, you understand, “one of THOSE days”… You know the kind. I had one of them last week. My dear mother, who has always been a big support, called me and offered to bring me a vary large piece of apple pie. Mom and dad drove the 15 minutes to my house just to deliver. I was not as appreciative as I should have been that night, but it meant a lot to me. Small blessings are the real miracles in life. We didn’t talk much when they pulled up to my apartment, but my mom did mention a video from the you tubes that I should watch… Validation.

Not expecting much, I went back in my apartment, opened my lap top, turned to the youtube, and started to watch. I was blown away! Great job mom for finding this little gold nugget. This is not an IF you have fifteen minutes to watch this movie, this is a MAKE 15 minutes available to watch this. If you don’t have the time right now, come back to it. Great clip!

I want to be more like him… I’m setting the goal to be more complimentary of others and to stop talking about all of MY problems. You never know how things are going to work out in the end anyways!

“I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.”
