One of the nicest parts of the trip is he does not have internet in his home. We had a blast visiting and playing family games with our granddaughters they do have a television but they only allow educational shows and dvd for learning. The whole time we spent entertaing the girls it was pure pleasure.Grandma Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962177773337228437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-80800480647988176592012-03-21T10:09:25.105-07:002012-03-21T10:09:25.105-07:00The Victim role I know a bit about it.

After some time it feels quite boring, there is no evolution possible when you put all responsibilities on others. <br />Now that I moved away from it, I never feel bored, life is so full of wonderful things to do, discover, contemplate. You are right focusing on others make all the difference.<br />Take care Galen Pearl and thanks for another nice sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-3381119914180489132012-03-19T17:06:27.295-07:002012-03-19T17:06:27.295-07:00Sheila, Thanks for your kind words (on my comment ...Sheila, Thanks for your kind words (on my comment on your blog).

Very smart girl!<br /><br />Anyway, I too feel the same way as you on boredom - I am never bored - in fact sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to be bored?<br /><br />You're right in stating that when we put ourselves in these victim positions for some it does get boring telling the same story for hours on end and remaining the victim. I guess it's boring to be a victim or a martyr.....<br /><br />Living in the possibiities of life,<br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066884129974460069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-70910774554400734302012-03-19T09:37:34.523-07:002012-03-19T09:37:34.523-07:00Lori, I would LOVE to think that there is a connec...Lori, I would LOVE to think that there is a connection between not being bored and intelligence!

It would be a better idea to give it further thought before I decide. After all, once I am gone, I can't change it. But if I go before I decide then whatever people come up with will have to do. It is how I am remembered by others which sums up my life. Then again, it doesn't really matter as long as I live my life as best as I could. <br /><br />I agree with you. Focusing on myself, my problems and the same thing over and over again is boring. If I have a problem, I prefer to resolve it as soon as I can and cross it off my to do list for good. <br /><br />I am glad to see you have great friends who stood by you. We would all do well to cherish such gems in our lives!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this lovely article!<br /><br />Irving the VizierThe Vizierhttp://hanofharmony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-13641153986025953052012-03-17T22:04:04.534-07:002012-03-17T22:04:04.534-07:00Thank you!Thank you!Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-64335091182527356212012-03-17T20:03:29.044-07:002012-03-17T20:03:29.044-07:00Galen your post is wonderful.Galen your post is wonderful.Cynthia Fox-Giddenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311008272824624550noreply@blogger.com
