It was a cyst, monitored by ultrasound for a while, and it eventually disappeared. :)<br /><br />My parents. I think that time was because I wouldn't break up with my ex (wow, the one and only time they may have been right). I came back home a couple months later, but one night my dad shoved me into some landscaping equipment in the garage. My face got cut up, I called the police, and I moved out for good a few days later. I moved in with my grandma and then got married.NotMyShametoBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679891969349514369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-6342160754403685632015-07-03T09:57:20.460-05:002015-07-03T09:57:20.460-05:00whoa I don't know why it posted like that.

That's kind of a big hole in the story and certainly there was something going on between you all (beyond them being crazy in general)<br /><br />Also, most women don't get mammograms until they're 50.

We have a lot of staff there who take the job as an opportunity to socialize with each other and pay just enough attention to the kids to make sure they're not killing each other. And then they complain that none of the kids like them, the kids are horribly behaved, etc. And the kids re miserable.<br /><br />But I've found that if I actually stop trying to be Miss Popular with the staff (I'm not very good with adults, but I am actually REALLY good with kids) and instead talk to the kids, the whole atmosphere of the room changes. I'll tell them how awesome their light up shoes are, and then 15 other kids with light up shoes will come running over to show me their awesome shoes. Then we'll put on a light show for each other or something.<br /><br />I asked one kid a couple of weeks ago if he had any plans for the weekend, and he told me about a trip to the beach he was going to take soon. A few other kids chimed in about past or future vacations, and eventually we had 10 kids sitting at a table, and one by one, they each told everyone else about their favorite vacation. These kids were only 3-6, so it wasn't any deep conversation or anything. But they were all sitting at the table, and for the most part I was able to get them to take turns telling everyone else about their vacations. My co-workers asked me later how I managed to keep everyone so calm. "I talked to them, rather than at them. And I didn't constantly yell at them for fidgeting in their seats. They're KIDS. It's not that difficult."<br /><br />So yeah. Talking to people and trying to have a real conversation with them really does wonders sometimes.afairytale84https://www.blogger.com/profile/03530192464441555381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-38569564586305353862015-07-01T13:08:45.646-05:002015-07-01T13:08:45.646-05:00Love how you describe truly seeing people.

I moved into a new neighborhood recently, and I walk my dog twice a day. I used to see the same people all the time, but we always passed each other, eyes down, never saying a word. I started saying hello or good morning every time I would pass them. Now I have to be careful, because I chat with 5-6 different people on every walk, and am almost late to work! All it takes is a teeny bit of effort on my part, and I feel better, and so do others. <br /><br />I think part of it is also that I go through life not wanting to be a "bother" to others. I don't want to pester them if they are busy, or don't want to talk, etc. What I've come to realize is that most people operate in that same headspace, and all it takes is one of us to open that door, so that the other person can step through. <br /><br />Love this post! *hugs*Eatabagofrichardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049463741637011276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-44852059384421940012015-07-01T01:23:39.245-05:002015-07-01T01:23:39.245-05:00I love this philosophy and I need to be more inten...I love this philosophy and I need to be more intentional in adopting it in my own life.
