Hi Susan

Quote From: susanpear

Wow.  You have been through something that is very hard to heal from.  I've never experienced what you have, I am so sorry that it happened to you.  I agree that when things are out of control to the point that your mental health takes a damaging hit, it's natural to stick to something you CAN control.  I'll bet that the issue of you being beaten over housework contributes to it as well.  Fear was instilled in you to adhere to high standards.  Also, I understand that the abuse could leave you never feeling "clean" enough again.  Your soul has suffered too much damage.  That could take an undefined amount of time to get over.  That being said, I also agree with needs to control dirt and clutter.  Especially with pets!  I have been in some homes where I could hardly breathe because the litter boxes were neglected!  Shedding can make me gag at the thought of hair getting into something I eat.  And who enjoys lint?  Derned if I know!  I have had the goal of conquering clutter for years, but it's hard!  Bet your home is cleaner than mine right now!   I tend to run out of energy fast and cannot always finish what I start.  Also, I would like to get rid of so much stuff - but it's not mine.  Our home shows well considering.  My husband is willing to throw stuff out and go through stuff, but he is very busy most of the time.

 

For years, I looked at model homes and just cried.  How I long to be in an inviting atmosphere like that every day! 

 

One problem with some folks who keep an immaculate home 24/7 is that they judge others who do not do the same.  It's one thing to keep my own home to the standards I set.  It's another to judge someone for how they keep theirs.  Being sick and depressed for so long has made me aware that this is debilitating enough to keep people from accomplishing more.

 

Yet there are conditions that should not be tolerated.  Filth and stenches are included!  Clutter and haphazard organization is another.  Some people keep really trashy homes.  When I cannot lay my hands on things I need without conducting a search party, that's too upsetting.  My goal is to get organized and cut the unnecessary things out of my house!  My biggest problem is paper.  We have generated loan after loan and closed on 4 homes in our 22 year marriage.  So that has become a daunting issue.

 

Hope this has helped some.  I feel for you.  You need to pursue the things that make you feel renewed and whole!  If it's a clean home for now, so be it!  We can talk more if you like.  Happy Easter!  Susan

Just want to say Hi and hope you're having a Happy Easter....

 

I think you join this message board about the same time as I did.

amateur racing for points only.

Fun to be had by all.

We had Basenji's and Itatian Greyhounds and Whippets this weekend.

An Ibezan showed up but did not run.

Mary

Just curious, but will you ever be racing for money?....That would be a nice income to add to the expense and upkeep of your dogs. HUH?

 

Glad to hear you had fun.  It's nice to get outside after such a long Winter.

Mary,

Quote From: contrary

But I never won.

I have Show greyhounds and they usually are much slower than NGA greyhounds.

Though not all the time.

I feel foolish for asking, but what is a monkey track?

Hello 2 U

Quote From: susanpear

Hello to you too!  Really like your user picture, and thanks for the greeting.  Yeah it's been a wonderful day.  What would you like to talk about?  See ya later.  Susan
 

Good Morning Susan,

 

Thanks for you compliment on my profile pic. I tried to find one that fit me and my image..LOL!

 

I join this message board a week ago tomorrow and so far I'm not too sure what to talk about. I'm still trying to get a feel of it and the members who post. My biggest struggle is reclaiming my trust in people and I thought this would be one avenue to take.I'm not good at starting the dialog, so I let other's take the lead and I'll join in if I have something to offer.  Hope this makes sense to you, because I haven't had much coffee in me yet..HA HA!

Quote From: huniebunie

Hello hpy_campr, cureusmimi!  Hello members!

I hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday.

My day was splendid. :-) I served baked salmon and pan fried shrimp. (no oils or butter)

My friends said I missed my calling and should have become a chef. I was very pleased!

I hope all memebrs here has a great day. I think it's about to storm here.

I hope to catch up with you later. I need to unplug my computer. B4N. :-)

Depression

Quote From: laney134

My husband walked out on me twice, the last time he moved almost 600 miles away to take a job.  He didn't ask me to go with him.  He started dating online after leaving then decided that he wanted us together.  I drove back & forth there for 9 months trying to make things work. To find out that he was dating when I wasn't there.  During this 9 months I drive almost 10000 miles to try & make things work, my step son died, I filed for dissolution.  And feel that I am slowly losing my drive, my meaning for life.  I can't seem to move on, I feel like I am cheating on him if I even talk to someone else.  We both tried, he would help me pay for travel to come & see him.  Everytime that I went there I was tired or sick & things didn't always go well.  I love him, & can't motivate myself to move forward in my life.  I love him still & don't know what to do about it.  How do I move on??  How can I stop loving him?  I just would like to go to sleep sometimes & never wake back up.  I feel that the most important part of me is missing.  I need help! I still love him, & don't know how to stop.  I have prayed, I have tried everything.  I can't seem to get myself toghether.  I can't work.. can't do anything..  We have both done some stupid & some good things since he left.  I just don't know what to do.  i called him & left him a voicemail today asking for just one more chance.  He wouldn't answer his phone.  I just don't know how to stop being sad.  I haven't been dating, I just miss him so much & want to be with him..  I know that I cn't make him love me if he doesn't & I don't know if he does or not.  He will say that he does.. then say that he doesn't wnat to see me again. 

Hi and Good Morning,

 

I wish I could offer you some advice that would help, but I'm lost for words.  However, I do want to wish you the best.

After I finish my coffee around 9 a.m. than it's regular Pepsi for me throughout  the rest of the day.  As a matter of fact, Pepsi is the on cola I will drink.  Coke just doesn't get it for me.

Hi Suzanne!

Quote From: catluv1

Just checking in and wanted to see who was around...I hope everyone is having a good day.  I'm continuing to enjoy the absolutely beautiful weather we've been having here in NJ.  It is so uplifting.  It's actually therapy in itself!

Ahh....the good old days!

Ahh....the good old days!

That reminded me of the Judd's song they put out years ago, "Grandpa."   I just loved that song. 

 

Enjoy your beautiful NJ weather.

Satan's Plan and Meeting



This is quite thought provoking! Read about Satan's
meeting...(even if you're too "busy
")............

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from
going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the
truth."

"We can't even keep ! them from forming an intimate relationship
with their savior."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is
broken." "So let them go to their churches, let them have their
covered-Dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don't have time to
develop a relationship with Jesus Christ."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil. "Distract them
from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection
throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable
schemes to occupy their minds." he answered. "Tempt them to spend,
spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to
work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12
hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from
spending time with their children. As their families fragment, soon,
their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over -simulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still,
small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they
drive...to keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in
their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays
non-biblical music constantly.

This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers.

Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their
driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail,
mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and
promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their
husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and
they'll become dissatisfied with their wives.

Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night. Give them
headaches too! If they don't give their husbands the love they need,
they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their
children the REAL meaning of Christmas. Give them Easter Bunny so they
won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive.....have them
return from their recreation exhausted. Keep them too busy to go out in
nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks,
sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, let them leave with
troubled consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to
seek power from Jesus. Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments
causing Christians everywhere to having little time for their God or
their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus
to changes lives. I guess the question is...has the devil been
successful at his scheme???

You be the judge. Does "busy" mean:

B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke???
