Time as an adult and time as a child...

Time!
Sometimes days just aren't long enough as an adult. I am always finding that there are not enough hours in a day lately. So, a lot of my time feels wasted because, I don't want to pass the time doing so much than, to find it has left me already. I don't ever remember feeling that way as a child. Probably as a child our only responsibilities are, to go to school, to have fun, do home work and possibly a side sport or event. I remember those days seeming longer. Maybe because I had so much energy to use up in the day, enough to last two days and than it repeats the next day. I mean, an adults day seems more like a half a day, where as a child's day is like two of ours.

As a child we just had so much time to use and take advantage of. So little to worry about, besides where our best friend might be, or what happened to a relative. Or if a parent was sick. You know the small things that could to us as children.

As an adult, time just slips away and it makes me wonder if I'll ever get everything done in one day...And I usually don't get everything finished in a whole day. Adults have to worry so much, about our children, their needs to be met in time. Our own schedules beyond that even! Household chores, the bills, appointments for us and our children, I could ad more because the list just goes on and on here. I am sure you understand if you're a mom, especially a full-time working mom (KUDOS)!

I'm speaking from a mom's point of view, but I know that their are men out there doing the same thing!

It's hard being a single parent, looking for work, trying to get her schooling, looking to the future with a desire to make things better in life. Which takes more time! You all get my point I am sure/

I guess I missed a few hours today as I wasted it trying to get this computer working while my child was at school. And I had a virus to get rid of, as I have hacker problems constantly...Which I have no idea why they like to choose me as their target so much.

Anyway I am done with that rant about computers, as I believe I have fixed the problem ...For now at least.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend this coming weekend!

Much love and blessings to all and have a great night!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone, who should happen upon this blog today!

Here is something for everyone to read!

 

Easter (Old English: Ēostre; Greek: Πάσχα, Paskha; Aramaic: פֶּסחא‎ Pasḥa; from Hebrew: פֶּסַח‎ Pesaḥ) is a Christian feast and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament. Easter is preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating Maundy and the Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Easter is followed by a fifty-day period called Eastertide or the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday. The festival is referred to in English by a variety of different names including Easter Day, Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day and Resurrection Sunday.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for "Easter" and "Passover" are etymologically related or homonymous. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but attending sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb, are common motifs. Additional customs include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades, and are observed by both Christians and non-Christians.

I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter! 

Many Blessings to all

Happiness

I figured something out about myself last night.
I seem selfish to others, but really..I am afraid of happiness! This may sound strange, "How can anyone be afraid of happiness?" ..But truthfully, a lot of people who have come and gone in my life. Well they did nice things for me and I was grateful, maybe even happy about it! Which is great, but some, well actually a lot of of them, okay lets face it, most of them..Only seemed to do it so that they could say they did to prove they are a good person and to say I was ungrateful later-on because they did something for me, but an argument later-on it would get thrown in my face, or I was used in some way afterwards.

I am not sure if anyone would have experienced this or can relate. But it has happened so much that when someone else does something nice for me now, I end up questioning why later. Because it had happened so much, I am always thinking there is now an interior motive why they were good or nice to me in some way, whether they gave me something or were just nice. I always question it now! How can I be happy if someone does something for me and means only to be caring when I feel something is behind the reason they did it?

This is why I can't be with anyone, no friends, no mate. No one except my child and my mother when she wants to visit. And I hope she doesn't hesitate, I have missed her since she left. How can I be happy? It is my biggest challenge, how do I know who I can trust with all this knowledge? I am afraid to trust anyone anymore, even myself I can't even make myself happy and if I can't how could anyone else? I would never make anyone happy because I will have a hard time being happy myself just to try my best to make them happy?

I just don't know anymore! Has anyone felt like this before? I am having a sad, sad day.
PS-How do you get happiness back in your life; if it feels like others, just want to steal it away as soon as it arrives?
