I love the video, makes me smile too.

I think it takes a very beautiful person to pick up the phone, listen, love unconditionally and then go back to living life in a great way. Sometimes the people we care about and love have drama. We don’t need to join in their drama, but we do need to be there to listen as they break it down.

I know that boundaries are important, but as women it’s hard to draw the line. We are caregivers. I have a teenage friend in my life now who calls far too often. I know that feeling. I want to help but I can’t be my friend’s source of strength. He has to find his own way in this world eventually. Hope your week ahead will be filled with moments of peace and contentment.

I’m sorry for your brother and his family, but you are right–they must work it out for themselves. Hugs.

Find an Al-Anon meeting for yourself. Love him, but don’t get twisted up into the misery. Hope things are better for everyone soon.

It’s been 7 years and through the grapevine I’ve heard that she still has tons of drama.  Someone else is listening to it – it doesn’t have to be me. 

Love that vid of the dog!!

Choosing happiness is the most important (and sometimes the toughest) thing ever. My son is the same way, he senses when I am “off” and tries to shake me out of whatever is bugging me. It’s the best reminder to choose him…choose happiness (-:

((there were other issues too…like this situation.)) In time I became a black belt in Kick boxing and an advanced brown belt in Kempo Karate 🙂 It was perfect!!! I got to hit other people that hit me back. It was a HUGE stress reliever. I then got to teach others another huge stress reliever ~ I know your babies are young but even if you could take a fitness kick boxing class hitting targets or bags…ALL GOOD! and that video ~ Oh! My Gosh! So FUNNY!!!!!! I’m trying to get a post together to play your Sunday meme…we will see if I can. I hope so! But, you just never know…:) Happy Thought!!!

They can’t? You mean someone else added the voice? Silly humans.

Does Gerard realize that dogs can’t really talk?

It is amazing and very touching. They just see through all of it, to the core and they want you to be happy.

It’s hard to deal with an addict. To have so much love for a person, but to not even know that person. Some times, there’s not much to in a situation like this. I really do hope things get better, but have learned to look on the other side of things as well. Hold your kiddos close and thank the Lord that they are healthy.

I’m keeping everyone in my thoughts (you and the kiddos especially). It’s tough, but you will make it through this. 🙂

I did think that video was funny and so creatively done.

Gerard has a big heart. I like to imagine that right after the clip the dog got a nice big treat.

Gerard did not think this was funny teasing a dog like that.  I showed it to him because I thought he’d like it.

Stopping by from FF.

So keep on keepin’ on!
