| From my dog I've learned that love surpasses all. Whether you are in a bad mood or just feeling down in the dumps, sick, looking your worst, or suffering from a lack of finances, a dog only sees someone they love and admire and will give you the most enthusiastic greeting they can possibly muster. They see beyond all flaws and only ask for love and acceptance in return. There is no creature more capable of unconditional love than a dog. I strive everyday to live that way myself, to love beyond beauty or words. ~ Erin Sincavich from Bridgeport, OH | | |
| I have learned that I am much happier when I am miserable and Lhey is happy, than when I am happy and Lhey is miserable. | | |
| "Some consider guilt trips harmless, but the truth is that a guilt trip is a subtle form of manipulation. People often use guilt trips to get others to do what they want..." (~ ref: ehow.com) Steps to survive a guilt trip:
Step 1: Know the signs. If someone tries to make you feel bad about your choices, then question it. If they try to convince you to do something that's better for them than it is for you, then make a note of it. Guilt trips aren't usually meant to hurt you, but they are meant to get you to behave in a certain way. Step 2: Round up the usual suspects. Pay attention to the people closest to you. Notice who uses guilt trips and who doesn't. This way you can prepare yourself ahead of time when you interact with them. Make sure to keep your guard up when you're around prolific guilt trippers. Step 3: Be clear. Only make decisions when you are sure what you want. If you find yourself caught up in the moment by a guilt tripper, then excuse yourself. Take some time to really think about what's being asked of you. Step 4: Say no. Don't be afraid to make the choice that is best for you. Step 5: Stand your ground. Even if you say no, a guilt trip can make you change your mind. People who use them will continue to probe you. Don't budge, unless it is what you truly want. | | |
| I'm not half the person my dogs believe me to be, but because they keep believing that I am, I keep trying to be as good as they believe me to be. | | |
