Its not luck, its laundry. By Kimberly Evans.

When I was in middle and high school, when I was waiting for the bus, and on the bus, I would see an older man, prob. in his 40's, running. He wore running shorts. What stood out was his bouncing, jiggling, very entertaining thighs. I wondered how he ran so much and still had those loosey goosey thighs.. I got to see him, many years later, in the grocery store, and tell him how inspired I was by how much he ran. I left out the part about his thighs. I was born with big thighs. I spent much of my life hating them as if they were my own worst enemy. I have been varying degrees of in shape and out of shape. I have been really skinny and rather not so skinny. I have big thighs. Usually, when I run, I wear compression shorts, so as not to give middle and high school kids entertainment..Well, okay, the real reason is so that my thighs don't rub together. Recently Brad and I were talking as I was getting ready for a run. We were going over the check list of what I had. He asked if I had greased up, to prevent chaffing. I said that I did not need to. he said something like, you are lucky, or it must be nice, or something. I realized today, as I was getting ready to go for a run, NO, it is not luck. This week, there was a lot more "behind the scenes" activity than most weeks. I fell behind on many things around the house, like doing the dishes every night and sleeping in the bed (well, I woke up in the middle of the night and moved there), but stuff like that. AND, I ran out of compression shorts because I never did wash to be sure I had them for today.... So today, I have a nice hole in my inner thigh. It's not luck, it's laundry.

How to deal with Aggressive people, and avoid being one yourself. By Kimberly Evans.

This is just such great advice!!! SUCH GREAT ADVICE!! I needed to blog about it because I wanted to save it to a safe place so I never lose it. This blog seems like a great place to me. I will reference it many times!! 
 How to deal with Aggressive people. 

 I know this is how I FEEL when someone is being aggressive. No matter what I LOOK, or SOUND like.

When someone is being aggressive, I may REACT, instead of use that methods that would help to diffuse the situation. Then, I become aggressive in response. It is a no win!

 

Passive aggressive is just as bad as outward aggressive.  I think living with passive aggression can kill over time. Kill the spirit and the love for each other. All forms of aggression should be unlearned.
