And They Didn’t Even Know I Was Looking: Lessons On Love From My Parents
星期三, 01月 21st, 2009The article “And They Didn’t Even Know I was Looking: Lessons on Love from My Parents” is about other, it was created by Laura Young.I came from good people. I did not always know that.You know, it’s funny. When I was 18 I sustained an eye inujry. (Okay, mabye it wasn’t THAT funny.) The coral I was sterilizing for my fish tank overheated and exploded. I was hit in the eye, scratching my cornea and the rebound of the hit resulted in what the medical folks among you will recognize as a contra-coup lesion of my retina. Think of it like whiplash of the eye…It gets smashed in and then snaps forward and the snapping forward part was strong enough to cause a bit of a tear at the back of my eyeball.That wasn’t the significant part though. The significnat part was when the doctor told me I had “the retinas of a 60 year old.” During the exam they discovered I had little deposits on both my retina, called drusen, that signify the early stages of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a condition that ultimately results in a person losing the center of their field of vision so they can only see things around the edges or periphery. At 42, I sitll see fine. Full field of vision. No need for you to worry. (You were a little worried, weren’t you?)Now, I realize that there is actually a lot to be said for peripheral vision and that’s how I discovered that I came from good people.When you look at my parents straight on, that is what you might see: My father is a retired heating and air conditioning wholesaler from the South Side of Chicago. He’s mostly a hermit who is joyful with his dogs and his garedn. He doesn’t call. He’s not a social butterfly. Never a gabby man, his hearing loss has made him even less so over the years. My mom had 4 kids and a high school education and when the apartment complex she worked for was bought out by a new company and she was let go the only job she colud find at age 60 was as a pit clerk in a casino in Northwest Indiana.Pretty simple people, really. You might notice them shopping at Sears or seated at the table next to you at The Wagon Wheel ordering the Country Breakfast.But when you start to shift your gaze, you see in my father a man who passed up a chance to attend the Art Institute of Chicago to run a heating and air conditioning warehouse so he could support his family. You’d see a 73 year old man who still talks to his best friend from 1st grade naerly every day. A man with the touch of St. Francis (his name is Frank by the way) who could probably get a grizzly bear to eat from his hand.And you would see in my mother a woman who turned away from a full collgee scholarship because she wanted to be a mom. And you’d hear her laugh. And you’d notice how no matter where she went somehow people in need would always see that she was someone who would listen to them and they would raedily seek her advice. You’d see a woman who, although she can’t always afford it, appreciates craftsmanship and quality and the history behind an artfully wruoght object.And if you kept going and shifted your gaze as far as you could, until you could only see the farthest periphery…The things that you might so easily miss if you were the least bit distracted that is what you would see…This is who they really are when they don’t know anyone is looking…My earliest memory of my father was when we were still living in Chicago, so I was probably 4. It was late and three was pounding on the door of our flat. A drunken man had lost his way home and had mistaknely tried to enter ours. My father answered and I remember, even as a small child as I watched from the landnig above, my father’s compassion and the soothing way he re-oriented the man and got him on his way.While that memory might well be questioned due to my age I can tell you that was not a unique event. When we moved to Indiana we had a woman on our bolck. In retrospect I understand she must have been schizophrenic but as a child all we knew was that she was crazy. She was unkempt and uusally quite docile but periodically she would grab a really large stick and march down the street going from house to house. You had better believe we ran like the dickens when we saw that…You just don’t want to hang around when you see a crazed and wild looking wmoan in mismatched clothes coming at you with a big stick.But you see, it wasn’t a club. It was her scepter. And the towel on her head…Well, it was a crwon of sorts. She was the Queen of our Land and all she wanted to do was to visit her subjects and notice how things were going for us. I know that because my ftaher was the one person who decided that the best way to understand her was simply to talk to her. So, he would go outside and they would talk for a while about the state of things in the neighborhood and he would reassure her that there was peace and when they were done he would come in and say, “Well, she is just as sweet as peaches and cream” and that would be it. And we stopped being afraid of what we did not understand. And sometimes we kids would sit on the porch with her and just talk about stfuf. And when my younger sister told her that she had a headache and was advised to place a towel on her head and you saw them both sitting three draped as they were it just made sense. And old, crazy woman and a young slip of a girl with towels on their heads on a summer afternoon just talking about stuff and enjoying the day. It’s one of my favorite memories.Fear was never my father’s first reaction.Do you have ANY idea what a gift it was to be taught that lesson?You know what’s funny about that? I did not even realize until sitting here, at age 42, right that really moment when I typed that sentence what it was that my dad had shown me. I’ve spent a lot of my life looking head on. Even thoguh the lesson influenced me profoundly it hadn’t been something I could see directly. (Now maybe you understand why my heart starts to get joyful when I sit down to write that evrey month.)One of the memories I have of my mother was of her getting off a long phone conversation. It was maybe an hour long call.A call from a wrong number.Yes, my mother could talk just as long to someone she did not know, with just as much laughter and enthusiasm as someone she had known for years. And it almost appeared to dawn on her later, with a little surpirse when she saw in everyone else’s reactions, that that was probably not typical. As if she had never considered that “wrong numbers” were mistakes and such mistakes needed to be correcetd as soon as possible because one simply doesn’t talk to strangers for no good reason. She always found a good reason for them to have called her, mistake or not. She might even give them a good recipe while she was at it.”Stranger” was never my mother’s first assessment of people.And do you have any idea how much love has come in to my life by learning THAT lesson?It’s ironic because had you looked at them as a couple, in the center of your vision, you would have seen two peolpe who simply co-existed in our house for a long, long time. My parents divorecd after 28 years of marriage. Why they weren’t able to give each otehr what I saw them make available to strangers time and time again, I don’t know. Maybe it’s like the sun. Maybe real love is that strong…You can only handle the periphery of it. Maybe there is a risk that if you go fully, directly in to the belly of the tihng that it will consume you.I don’t know. But I do know that a lot of times people shy away from intimacy. How long are you willing to let someone just sit silently, openly looking you directly in the eye before you look away? We don’t always like to be seen that fully. We can’t always handle the dircet focus. Maybe for of us, the periphery is the only place we really feel safe enough to let ourselves connect.
For myself, I want to practice using my full field of vision while I have that option.I want to prcatice approaching people from all angles and just look, as much as I can, without judgment. Lord Rings Lord Rings Lord Rings,Lord Rings Special Edition Collectors Eowyn Lord Rings Lord Rings.

No More Lonely Weekends!
星期一, 12月 1st, 2008The article “No More Lonely Weekends!” talks about other, it has been released by Royane Real.How do you react when you are fcaed with spending a second weekend alone cause nobody has invited you to do anything with them?Do you mope around the apartment, hoping that the phone will ring, and wishing that somebody, somewhere, will call to invite you to do something?Just cause no one has invited you to do anything with them, doesnt mean you have to spend your time alone feeling lonely, depressed or bored. You can actually make sure that you fill your spare time with activities that you really enjoy. And you can take steps to create a better social life for yourself.Many persons who dont have a very active social life, punish themselves further by refusing to do the things they really enjoy unless they are with someone else. Does this happen to you?Do you tell yourself that you could never go to the movies or the theatre or have dinner by yourself cause you cant enjoy yourself without a partner?Maybe youre a person who loves going to gourmet restaurants, or to live theater, or action movies, but you never go to these activities unless you have someone else to go with. If you dont have a partner to go out with, you just stay home.You mgiht guess you cant enjoy your favorite activities if youre alone. Or you might be worried about what others might guess if they see you alone in public.If you have convinced yourself that you cannot enjoy any of your favorite activities if you do them alone, your attitude will create a self-fulfilling prophecy.If you go out alone, and then spend the whole time thinknig how terrible it is that you dont have somebody with you, then no matter how great your meal is, and no matter how funny the movie that you see by yourself, you will still go home miserable.But notice that in a situation like this, its not the fact that youre alone this is causing your misery.Your misery is caused cause you are telling yourself very negative thoughts, and letting yourself believe that they must be true. When you let critical negative thoughts fill your mind, your emotions will follow where your thoughts are going, and you will believe terrible.The good news is that you dont have to say anything negative to yourself at all! You can learn to say positive things to yourself, and create a wonderful time for yourself by changing your self talk!Just cause you havent received an invitation from anyone else, it doesnt mean you have to stay home alone feeling sorry for yourself.Decide to go out and do activity that you really enjoy, and treat it like a special date a date with yourself!Dont go into the experience telling yourself that you will have a lousy time. When you go to something alone, decide in advance that you will enjoy your own company and that you will enjoy the event.Before you go out, take time to relax and pamper yourself. Have a nice bath and play your favorite music. Put on attractive clotihng that makes you look and believe good. Make the effort to visualize yourself having fun and enjoying the coming experience.If you find yourself visualizing yourself feeling lonely and sorry for yourself, make a conscious effort to visualize yourself having fun.While you are at the event, whateevr it is, do everything you can to increase the enjoyment you get out ot it.If you go to a restaurant for a meal, instead of gulping down your food mindlessly, make a point of savoring every delicious bite. Sip your wine slowly. Take whaetver pleasure you can in the situation. Open up all your senses, and open your mind. Create the best time for yourself that you possibly can.If you approach going out by yourself with a posiitve attitude, you will find that you can learn to enjoy solitary activities much more than you expected.Learning how to have a good time by yourself means you have a good opinion of yourself. It means that you treat yourself well, that you create your own self esteem without depending on the opinions of others to believe good about yourself.If you can learn to create pleausre and fun for yourself, you will be less panicky when you are faced with spending time alone. Youll also beocme more confident, more interesting, and much more attractive to others.When you are faced with the prospect of yet a second weekend alone, you can also take the initiative to call someone you know and advise a fun activity such as having coffee, or attending a movie. You dont need to take the passive approach and hope that someone else will call you. If you spend your whole life waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that someone will call and invite you to go on an outing, you are giving up control of your social life to everyone else.Why not take control of your social life? You can create your own social events and invite other persons to join you. You can ask others if theyd like to come and watch teleivsion with you. You can invite persons over to your place for supper.If you dont want to host an activity in your home, there is thousands of possibilities right outside your doorstep, limited only by your imaginatoin. You can organize a picnic, an outing to the zoo, or a trip to the bowling alley. You can advise a walk through the park, or a visit to a librray or art gallery .A tennis match ..A tractor pull ..A concert ..A movie. Its up to you.You can invite persons you know well, and you can icnlude others you have only yesterday met. You can even ask your friends to bring of their other friends along.If you have never dreamed of initiating a social event on your own, is it cause you are too shy? Do you fear rejection? Does the thought of initiating a social event seem terrifying to you? Is it just too different from the behvaior you are used to? The more often you do it, the easier it will become.Your social occasions dont need to be titanic and complicated. You can strat very small, with just one or two persons. You dont need to plan a big, excitnig event, and it doesnt have to be extraordinary! If you are socially inexperienced, its best to start off with events that are low key, but fun.Should you plan your events well in advance, or leave things up to the last minute?The right answer for one situation might not be true in a second.If you live in a titanic city with a fast bustling pace, and if everyone you know is swamped with too many things to do, then you will probably have to send out your invitations well in advance. Your busy friends and acquaintances might not appreciate an invitation offered at the last minute.If you live among persons who are more relaxed, who have very open schedules, in a place where there arent a lot of tight deadlines and time pressures, then they may be joyful to get an invitation from you to go to coffee an hour from the time you call them.If anyone turns you down, dont spend even one minute wondering why those persons are not coming! Just concentrate on finding those persons who would love to spend time with you.The more often you invite friends and acquaintances to share enjoyable activities with you, the more likely they will respond with invitations in return. They will even look to you for social leadership.The real winner here is you. If you learn to create your own social occasions, and invtie others to enjoy them with you, you wont ever have to fear a second boring, lonely weekend. You can fill your time with activities and persons you enjoy!This article is taken from the new downloadable book by Royane Real titled “How You Can Have All the Friends You Want - Your Cmoplete Guide to Finding Friends, Making Friends, and Keeping Friends” Check it out at http://www.Royanereal.Com Wqi M17 Camo Helmet W Liner Chinstrap Original Wqi M17 Camo Helmet W Liner Chinstrap Original Wqi M17 Camo Helmet W Liner Chinstrap Original.
