Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
What I think about....
I am taking a break from the norm. Call it a brain freeze, a stupifying of the mind.
Every single day I post different phrases and encouragements for friends and family. Thoughts or ideas, that come to mind as I read or listen to the struggles of everyone around me.
I am sharing them with you. Enjoy!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Some people are like ice, remove them from the freezer and thaw them with love.
You must be strong enough to walk away if someone you "like" decides to be "less than" their initial presentation. Don't accept "less than" an amazing relationship...
Newsflash: every child will strongly dislike even the best of mothers... If they don't, you've done something wrong.
Do yourself a favor: for one hour, let go of caring about, doing for and making sure everyone else around you is happy. Focus on yourself.
Good Morning Peeps!! Don't forget to add a bit-o-happiness to your cup-o-coffee today!!
You can't fix ugly, nor do you have to have a relationship with it.
You are innately someone who makes another person feel good or someone who doesn't. Those who do it occasionally are playing a game to ensure they are getting what they want. Pick your poison!
In order to find new love you have to revise your belief about what your definition was previously...
Each and every one of us deserves a special, intimate, trusting and loving relationship. EACH ONE OF US!
I know little, if anything, about Politics, yet what I do know much is how to unconditionally love.
Don't rain on your own parade...
People are like Christmas presents... they might look pretty on the outside, but it's what is on the inside is what REALLY counts...
What comes to my mouth is exactly what's on my mind; it's my personal conviction, my belief about who I am and what I want.
Pain grants us the wisdom to one day assist a friend through their life's circumstances.....
Know what a size 6 can't give you? Love, happiness, friendships, intelligence, wisdom, common sense, unconditional love, experiences, self-assurance, connections, laughter, etc.... you must allow yourself these blessings regardless of pounds or size.... ;)
If someone doesn't like you, no worries... it's their loss... you're amazing, special and unique!!
Single Ladies: make him wait. If he's a good guy, he'll keep calling, if he's not, he won't... :)
Pay attention to your friends, listen to them... if you know they're struggling about something personal, forgo bragging about yourself for a moment or three... Focus on them, listen to them, unconditionally love them..
It's like an injection, it only hurts for a moment. Next year you'll be saying, "And I thought that was tough!"
It's amazing what good date does for the soul, mind, body and spirit.... To feel special and liked, laugh and connect with another is necessary.
You are the most important Limited and Special Edition item you own.
Any one, at any time, can say, "I'm done". Given the fact you can't leave, your best relationship should be with YOU!
The secret in life is not only loving yourself, but including others who love you just as much.

I do enjoy your blogs and responding with hopefully thought provoking if not entertaining rhetoric.
Going through your blog and I noticed that many of the thoughts and ideas are focused on keeping yourself happy. This is important but if your sole/soul purpose is to keep yourself happy you will be unhappy, kind of ironic, don’t you think, maybe a little too ironic……
I also noticed that you refer to being unable to “fix ugly” (which you can fix if you have the $$$) and “people being like Christmas presents”, and not pretty inside, so I am perplexed on what you are looking for or how you will find it. I tend to see relationships as rummage sales, where the applicable phrase is “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure”.
We do disagree regarding your statement of each person deserving a ……………relationship. I have found that relationships are earned and then deserved. This world has too many people believing they deserve something just for breathing, when all they really deserve is the prospect and pursuit of the next breath.
I do agree with Piper’s idea of living one day at a time with a twist, because this does make the bad days seem really long and the future will be filled with really bad days if not considered. So, maybe live for today while contemplating tomorrow. Tomorrow may not get here, but if it does, you are not surprised.
Well, that was fun, let’s do it again sometime.

I think the reason you and I have a difference of opinion is because men and women think and react so differently in relationsips. The ugly I was referring to is the ugly on the inside, not the exterior.
I am doing my best to live for today. Fortunately, I have forgiven and let go of past hurts, so I've got that down. I believe we still have to have a glimmer of hope that amazing things are yet to come.
If you don't mind delivering a Valentine this year, I would appreciate it.. :)

I like the, "one minute at a time" from your comment below. I find myself in that situation more often than not lately. Maybe it has to do with my attempted break from Mountain Dew.
I've had a few bumps, and actually a bruise or two. I fell on my right hip and knee ice skating last week and now have a 12 inch round bruise on the outside of my hip area. It's currently quite colorful, wish I could post a pic. :)
Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the snow!!
