Love Languages

I have heard about the five love languages for couples but had never heard of the five love languages for children. This book is amazing, for me as a mother and as a child. I think it is well worth reading.

A short review of it: It says that we all hear the words "I love you" from our parents and those around us, and we might even know it but do we "feel" loved. We each have a love language and if we are not being "talked to" in that language we won't feel loved.

The Languages are: Quality time, Words of affirmation, Gifts, Acts of service, Physical touch.
If those around us are not talking to us the way we need then our bucket may be empty, so it makes life harder. Which in children makes them withdraw from family or act out in ways that we as parents don't understand and don't like. It does say that just because you talk a child's language does not mean they won't ever rebel, but that they will feel loved and most likely not rebel as much as they will if they don't feel loved. Any way I really enjoyed this book and will be trying harder to realize each of my children's love languages, and thought some of you might like this book and find it helpful also.

Favorites

I saw this tag and I thought it sounded fun. I am not sure if there are any rules, so I am just winging it.

I have alway wanted to travel. I actually have a long list of places I would love to see, but today it is Scotland. Doesn't that just sound cool. I love this picture.

I of course love food, who doesn't? Any who today I think Pad Thai sounds sooo yummy. I grew up in a little town called Fairview, I love the aspen trees. So pretty.
My favorite color is Blue, I love shoes too. Hey that rhymes :) Love Cats and Dogs, kittens and puppies are good too. So cute. I spent hours and hours playing barbies. One of my favorite things to do with my cousin was to send them floating down the ditch, it really is fun trust me. So I have a hard name to find. So according to google, this is my name in chinese.

Life

A good friend of mine sent me a little story: A grandfather was talking to his grandson. The Grandfather let the little boy know that he alway felt like he had two wolves fighting inside of him. One fighting for good and one fighting for bad. The little boy got big eyes and asked which one will win. The grandpa said, whichever one I feed.


Sometimes in life, we all like to be a little hard on ourselves. Who am I kidding I am my worst critic. Well lately I have decided that I am done with picking on myself. It won't be easy, my bad wolf is fat and healthy but I am going to start today to make my good wolf the pretty one.

100 % for McCain

I have never been politically correct, probably never will be, that is just who I am so here I go. There are a few things that I will not vote for, I don't care who they are and I don't care what other issues are on their platform, I can not and I will not condone, vote for or shrug my shoulder at abortion or gay marriage.

When we die all we will care about is our family and whether or not we stood up for the teachings of Jesus Christ, in the end that is all that matters (I am not Catholic, but I like this message)

*WARNING* That really does stand for "To Much Information" so if you read further do so at your own mental risk!

At a very young age I succumbed to what I consider one of our societies craziest rituals.

For years I have wondered why I must do this and have hated doing it. I started doing it because of peer pressure, I didn't like being laughed at so I caved. I have considered stopping but because everyone is doing it, I do it also. I feel the need to do this hated, detested ritual three or four times a week. Sometimes said ritual causes me actual pain, but once again everyone is doing it so I must also. I have also found that said ritual doesn't stay in one area, I have had to do this ritual in far to many places.

Some of you may be wondering what is this ritual? Do I do it also? It sounds horrible (it is!). What can I do to help Lora with this horrible thing she must do (sadly there is no help). Why has she kept this a secret (I haven't you all know I do it, and you all do it too)?

I am wrong there is hope, if everyone stops, right now and refuses to do this hated thing then there is hope. How about it America, would anyone want to join me in the fight to stop the removal of unwanted hair. I mean really if Heavenly Father wanted it gone it would be gone, so there must be a reason for it.

So there you have it, I feel much better. I would of course feel better if everyone would agree to my request, but alas I know it will only happen in a dream.
