A week or so after my brother died my sister-in-law posted one of my sayings with the trailer that a wise woman had told her. One of her friends commented that it must have been her mother. Before she could respond one of my sister posted that it sounded like a "Connieism". Her response was that it was indeed from me. Now I just like that! "Connieism" I have arrived just like Yogi Bera! I have told ya'll I speak perfect idiom. While the truth is that they are all "borrowed" from others, I just use my little sayings probably more than most. Will share a few starting with the one she quoted.
'We do not change our mind, we simply make new decisions based on new information.' This particular saying came from Zig Zigler. You see for a person to change their mind implies that they were wrong and few people like to admit to being wrong. So you make a new decision based on new information.
It is what it is and we do what we have to do. Not sure where this came from but we say it ALOT in our family.
'You can't unring the bell'. All of ya'll can figure that out. It goes along with, 'it is like blowing smoke back in a cigerette' or 'it is like putting an elevator in an outhouse'.
One of my nieces has told me before that she just loves all my little sayings, and I just love that.
Have been feeling sorry for myself for the past several days and I am just tired of it. Really feeling the loss of father, husband, and brother the past few week or so. Which really is not surprising since we have decided that Sept. just pretty much sucks. With that being said I had, for lack of a better word, a revelation while riding in my truck a couple of days ago. (I am thinking of applying for a zip code for it, the truck that is.) My revelation was this. Yes, I miss Daddy and yes I miss Bobby more than I can explain. Naturally with it being so soon I am having that 'damn! I am never going to be able to see my brother again' feeling. But I realized that as badly as I miss them the person that I miss the most is ME! So with that being said I am going to make a concentrated effort to get back to being the positive, optimistic, humor loving, would rather laugh than cry person that I enjoy being around. You know it really is sad when you realize that you don't even want to be around yourself! It is time to be fun again! Oh, and by the way, the count is over. And to go against what Larry the Cable Guy says, this shit ain't funny I don't care who you are. 115 days with no period and start again! So here we go again. As much as I am going to try to see humor in as much as possible and laugh as much as possible there just is not any in that. Ah well, I warned you before hand that these were misc. ramblings. TTYL
