Want-Need, not the same at all.

It is said that need is the Mother of Invention...actually, not exactly like that.....it is necessity is the Mother of Invention......true-so true.

And, how we respond to and act upon our necessity, virtually determines how successful we will be.
For example-----responding negatively-just frustrates us and everyone around us. Responding positively-has the opposite effect.

It is said that we can see a negative person coming for miles and will, of course, try our level best, to avoid them like the plague.

Not to mention that these continual drains on human spirit earns them the term "Human Vampire"- genus-emotional....that is.

So what is the answer, here.? Let's say something happens and you cannot feel good about it? Exude goodwill flowing from every pore? What are we to do? Lie-fake it?

Perspective and moderation.......when my younger Brother died-young---I could not stop the tears from flowing---I honestly wanted to, stop crying, that is......just could not. I was, the term "brokenhearted" comes to mind, however, it wasn't quite that bad, really, I was  just devastated.

My reasoning for bringing  this up at this time of year, is that it is, "that time of year". And the Holidays have us thinking about those we truly loved-still love and wish were here with us.

And as to Want---we should certainly treat ourselves to stuff. Winters are cold-icky-can be down right bleak. So if you want that little get away for a weekend-----GO-GO-GO! get a deal on it...or better yet, who doesn't have a friend or relative somewhere South of the Border---okay, South of Tennessee. lol I do. And she is always urging me to come visit. I should and have. Staying for free!!!!!

Now,  on to Need----if you suffer misfortune---get-ask-for help. There is no-Nada-none-shame in it. And you will be denied.......".I will help you---UT oh!- I have changed my mind"......these peeps need to realize true need to feel how awful this can make another feel. Do not promise to help someone in real need and then re neg. Especially after they have waited for it---God-Karma-can and will punish you! Just say NO! and let them move on to their real friends.......

We are all blessed by having people in our lives that we cherish...letting them know this is very important.....I have friends, and then I have friends...who are my true and lovely family......and I am blessed with a large family, also.
Most of us have both......

I say it again--"True friends are the family we choose".
Let them know how much you appreciate them.....there are .so many ways you can do this.....I just like to say it!

Okay---enuff said-----Enjoy your Holidays, bearing down on us...lol.....and have fun! Be Safe!
