WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

TRU STORY: It seems as though I need to have this same conversation every six months. So, after been asked the same question for the past week, I think it’s time. Take this journey with me. Imagine me minding my own business and someone stops me. They don't want to just speak or to ask how the family is doing. I probably could understand if we talked on a regular. Okay, just allow me to paraphrase these conversations.


Bold person: “Hey, Kooley, I haven’t seen you in a minute. Dang, you were a lot smaller then. You gained a lot of your weight back. But, you still have a nice shape.”

Inconsiderate Idiot #2: “What’s up, girl? I see you gained all that hind parts back. How much weight have you gained, with yo’ little waist self”?

My customary response to both: “Why? You don’t have to lift, feed or clothe me.”

The moral of the story: You don’t know what a person is going through. They might be on the brink of suicide. What if they need medication for a mental disorder…suffering from insomnia, took too much medication and on their way to a behavioral health facility...
.....


PS: Just because you throw, what YOU think is a compliment, on the end doesn’t make you less insensitive!

In all things pray and seek the Lord. Allow Him to help you make decisions-not Kooley! These are just my thoughts, opinion and experiences.

MALES-YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM

Hear ye...Hear ye,

Sometimes I wonder what my Father was thinking when he made MALE…when He decided to make more than one of them. I’m not bashing that sex because I’ve tried to raise two of those species. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing like a God-fearing, nice looking, well-dressed intelligent man. But, I declare once they fall in love with a woman all sense of logic leaves their mind.

I can’t speak for all males, only the ones that have crossed my path over the years. DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT REFERRING TO MY HUSBAND (o_0). If this isn’t describing any of the men that are currently in your life, then my hat is being tipped for your blessing. However, if you are saying you’ve never met a man as such, then you might be telling a little white one. (Smile)

Once a man falls in love, he forgets how to dress himself on a daily basis. I understand if you need to occasionally ask how something vibes with another piece of clothing. But, every time you pick up a shirt, you don’t have to ask if it needs ironing. If I can see the wrinkles across the room, I know you see them while holding it in your hand.

Who chose your food before you got in a committed relationship? I can’t tell you what you are going to eat or what you have a taste for. If I tell you I’m not cooking, then you are pretty much on your own all the way around.

While on my soapbox, allow me to touch on the subject of sex. Yes, I am going there. Remember, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT MY HUSBAND. Unfortunately, I didn’t live my life as God instructed. Therefore, there was sex with other partners back in the days. Plus, you see it everywhere you look. It’s in the movie theaters, on the television and in things you read.

Even during sex most men don’t think logically. Why do they have to keep talking? Don’t get me wrong, no one wants silence the entire time. A little conversation for him and some quiet time for me would be fair. Another pet peeve of mine-thinking I want to answer so many questions? And why can’t they give you time to answer one before they ask another? And, two of the stupidest question are, “Whose is this?” and “Is this mine?” Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought THAT WAS ESTABLISHED WHEN WE DECIDED TO BE IN A COMMITTTED RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER. How would you handle it if I answered with, “It’s my personal trainer’s”? Use your head!

Now, back to your daily routine.

In all things pray and seek the Lord. Allow Him to help you make decisions-not Kooley! These are just my thoughts, opinion and experiences.

WANTED AND NEEDED

All I ever wanted was someone to love me unconditionally

All I ever needed was the ability to accept the love of someone

All I ever wanted was to stand in HIS presence and strip down to expose all of my flaws and reveal my many issues and he acknowledges them but can’t…no, he WON'T...be moved from my side

All I ever needed was the ability to accept his shortcomings and believe in his dreams while standing as a pillar of support for HIM

All I ever wanted was to fall asleep in the arms of my lover
All I ever needed was to wake up beside my best friend

All I ever wanted was the chance to trust someone
All I ever needed was to live the lifestyle that proves I can be trusted

All I ever wanted was to stand in a crowded room and observe HIM looking through others to SEE ONLY ME
All I ever needed was to be amongst many but be completely satisfied with just that ONE

All I ever wanted was to have inside jokes, secret codes and chances to act silly with HIM
All I ever needed was to cry less and reasons to laugh more

All I ever wanted were the things that didn’t come easy
All I ever needed was to stop making everything so hard and wait patiently

In all things pray and seek the Lord. Allow Him to help you make decisions-not Kooley! These are just my thoughts, opinion and experiences.
