I visited my family, and I noticed a major difference between my Mom and me.
She tends to notice and concentrate on the negative, what is going wrong,
what a person is doing wrong, what has went wrong, and so on.  It is very
depressing to try and talk with her because she is so full of all of these
negative thoughts.  I was home for a week, but stayed with a friend because
my Mom really doesn't like dogs much and I had Bowers my guide dog and buddy
my little dog with me.  Jena my oldest daughter is living with my
parentsfinishing her senior year of high school, she kept Buddy with her at
my parents house.  So, all I heard about was how buddy is, that he had
anaccident in the house, and just "how long are you going to be in Georgia
anyway,?" usually this would have made me feel sad, and feelings of not
being wanted and loved would have surfaced, but I did not think of that,
instead I chose to have a good time, it is my mother's choice to focus on
the negative, it is mine whether I choose to listen or not.
I guess my Mom is just so negative that she can't see any good, and that is
sad, there is always two sides to everything, and it makes a person tired
just concentrating on negativity all the time.
It's as though the house has an atmosphere over it, a heavy oppressive
covering!

But, now I am back in Pa, seems Missed a lot of snow!
it's piled all around the sidewalks.
