Shouting

There are some herbs and salts that help with aches and pains
-but not all aches and pains.
For example:
People do things that drive you crazy just to drive you crazy;
                                   or
Something happens that "ruins" one of your plans;
                                   or
You have to repeat yourself over and over again to get someone to listen.

Those are real aches and pains!
And herbs and salts can't help you with them.

Say you don't get a lot of sleep one night. You're already short on patience and something happens that irritates you.  Next thing you know you're shouting.
By the time you go to bed, you've calmed down.
If you're anything like me, you'll feel awful.  You'll wish you hadn't started shouting.  You'll feel sorry that you hurt someone with your shouting. You'll start thinking how awful you must have looked when you were shouting.  Thinking of that will make you feel sick.  Feeling like that stinks.

Shouting is really hard not to do.  When I get mad or upset I want to yell and shout.
But when you think of how awful shouting at someone looks, and how awful you are making that person feel, it really gets to you.
So that's why today I'm writing about shouting.

Today I was going to wear this pink sweater I love.  But when I was about to put it on, I saw a green stain on it.  I looked a bit more and I saw more green!  The green was on the sleeves and on the back; it looked awful!  Something had gone wrong in the wash.  It was beyond saving, so into the trash it went!
I really like that sweater and I was really mad! A few moments later, I was shouting at my brother.  When I calmed down, I had to apologize.  All for a sweater.
When is it worth it to shout?

Is it ever okay to shout?
I thought a bit about those questions.  Here's what I got:
It's never really a good idea to shout; shouting doesn't help! And really it makes things worse.
Sometimes people will understand why you're shouting and won't blame you, but still shouting doesn't help. 

So instead of shouting, when I feel upset, overwhelmed, disappointed or just in a bad mood, I'm going to make the sign of the cross.  It reminds me that God has my back and everything's going to be fine.
Plus I've tested it and it works!

Work

When you're told to work, right when you were going to go do something else that you love, does it make you feel:
1. mad
2. happy
3. tired

If you picked 1 then you're a lot like me.
If you said 2 then YOU ROCK and I wish I was more like you!.
If you said 3 then I can so understand!.
If you said 1 and 3 then when it comes to unwanted work, you're just like me.

When I want to go blog, play, read or just sit down and then I'm told to go do some chore I can get pretty upset.
If you read my profile, you'll know that's the last thing I want.  So I've decided that this is something I really need to work on.
It's something that's in my way to becoming a godly women.

So more about work: in my house, each of the children have their own chores but my big brother is gone away to school and that means he can't do his chores.  So we had to split up all the work, which means I just got a lot more work.
 Now just thinking of what this school year will look like all I think is oh goodbye sweet Summer days when i had time to enjoy myself  because between school and work I'm going to have little time to myself.
But thinking "oh goodbye sweet Summer days etc." is not what a godly women would do, so I have to stop.

So here's how I'm going to do just that!,
When you do some kind of work out of your own-free-will to please someone, it makes you feel really good right? Well it's the same with me!.
So instead of letting mom remind me what to do or tell me what to do, I'm going to do it without being told. That way, I get 3 benefits:
1. Work will get in my way a lot less
2. I'll feel really good inside
3. I'll earn more in heaven
and that's a lot better than getting all upset!

And I also asked a priest about it he said,
 "you can always tell your mom how you feel, but keep in mind that Jesus gave everything for us so we should try to give it all to others".

How my blog works

Hi again!
So the way my blog works is like this:
Every week I put a new post up and each post has a title about something I find to be in my way to becoming a Godly woman.

For example:

shouting
Shouting is really hard not to do.  When I get mad or upset I want to yell and shout.
But when you think of how awful shouting at someone looks, it really gets to you.
So that's why today I'm writing about shouting.



I'm also going to blog about books I think are good for teenage girls to read and other things. If you have any ideas about something I should blog about, then please comment and tell me!.

God bless,
