My big mouth!...

So, I don't write about happiness and love because I am perfect at having it in my life all of the time. I write about it because I seek for it myself, and while I am seeking for happiness I want to share what I learn with you.

Work has been hard for me lately, especially being pregnant! I work in an interesting dynamic and am still not used to it.

When I was in High School, I was the one who knew everyone's secrets. For some reason, all of my friends went to me for advise, to share their secrets and complain about others. I didn't realize how much information I had and it always blew up in my face. Often I was the friend in the middle and would let the secrets slip to the wrong people. I would often get in trouble for saying too much. Eventually I learned my lesson and would tell people that I didn't want to know their secrets because I couldn't promise that something wouldn't escape my mouth! I was aware of my weaknesses and couldn't handle all of the information that was being shared with me. I wanted to just live my own life without having to be the "secret keeper."

Well, I have never experienced getting in trouble for my mouth again until recently! I can't tell you what has happened to my sense of "holding back" or smarts but my filter is having a hard time! This definitely makes work difficult when I get pulled into a meeting with the big boss and my supervisor who wonder what I was thinking?! Let's just say...my mouth still gets me in trouble!

I have no decided that my large opinions have a time and place to be shared! Have you ever gotten in trouble for things you have said?

I know that there are lessons to be learned from every experience we go through whether good or bad. It is ok to get in trouble every once in awhile and definitely ok to not let it get us down.

Life is full of learning experiences! My happiness today exists in the fact that today is better than yesterday and I have large opportunities to improve!

Here are the learning experiences I have gotten from this -
-It is ok to mess up.
-Those who never make mistakes never have the opportunity to learn.
-I am glad that I know what will make me a better person today.

What are some of the biggest learning experiences you have gone through? How have you improved and become happier since then?

Love always,

Jamee

Let Me Cry

My son left on Monday for his first day at his actual school (Covid!)...I was sad. The old me subconsciously wanted to just go and stay busy so that I didn't think about him and miss him...and the me that knows MUCH better from my past experiences kept telling myself to let it out! Just cry if you miss him...no one will care, and then you'll feel better and be able to get things done.  Why do we do this?? Even after learning how important it is to "let it out"..."cry it out"...or whatever you want to call it...why do we allow ourselves to do this? Suppress...ignore...smile...move on...without ACTUALLY moving on? It still blows my mind that after my breakdown years ago because of this EXACT thing, I still fight with my old self.  Letting those feelings out is the most important thing we can do for our mental health and even our physical health! For myself, I've found I sleep better, have happier relationships, and my joints even ache less when I am allowi...

Emotions....emotions...bah!!

So, I have been thinking about the past, and my experiences and what has been one of the biggest helps in my life up to this point...and it is....learning how to express emotions! Let me tell you...cause I'm going to anyway...haha...that I heard SO much growing up things like "boys don't cry", "just get over it" and "you'll be fine" and "you're ok". You know...those things we all hear in life that make us push down and hide those unwanted emotions! I found over time that being the spunky, funny, optimistic girl was really not all it was cracked up to be. Yes of course, I enjoyed the popularity that came with it, but rarely was I allowed to be sad...or angry...or really anything else but happy! I got so tired of people asking me what was wrong when I wasn't smiling that I just smiled so no one would bother me. I played the role...I played a part. Don't we all do this?! Does this hit home for any of you? My awakening w...

Marriage 101 - The Hard Knocks

Marriage isn’t easy! These are the hard knocks that I’ve come across, and the things I do to make everything easier. I’ve decided to start blogging more regularly…whether for my own mental health or just to share any *pretend* wisdom I might have. Ha! I enjoy writing, so this is a wonderful outlet for me to practice my writing, think about writing a book (which I’ve always dreamed of doing), focus on emotional intelligence and seek to improve my own personal relationships as well. So, I have been married to my husband for 4 years this month…(yay us!)…and it definitely hasn’t all been happiness and romantic gestures. He is a police officer and in the military and I work full-time as well. Life is good, busy, stressful and awesome. Mostly stressful and awesome…but also hard sometimes! My husband and I both have very strong personalities…like…STRONG. We got in more than one *small* (Ok, sometimes huge) argument while we were dating, so I knew the relationship would always be a bit ...
