RE: Life Choices~SnookSnap

in #dtube6 years ago

You made me giggle so much with the policemen story. I remember doing the "occupation research" with my children. It's fun to think about their reasoning for one job or the other.

Unfortunately, all three of my children have told me their lives are mediocre and asked what they should do. I told them to find what excites them and pursue that. Fortunately, my son decided that was great advice and got a good job, a video game set up, and a ton of board games. He says he is thrilled with this life set up so I encourage him by going over and playing board games often. haha.

Both of my daughters have been searching and they have both seen many jobs. They will find it, but I see the lack of follow-through that I had show up in their efforts. Fortunately, they both have been continuing to look. The Texas daughter has always wanted a farm and she finally has it with lots of chickens and geese. She says that she is happy so I am thrilled. I don't see that as mediocre at all. I see it as a huge win for sure. The oldest daughter is going to school slowly and still trying to figure out what she wants, but some of her life choices have made it a hard road. I am seeing she is fighter and will continue to press on. They are getting there.

As for the Grand Georges, Carl is loving the video work. He talks with me about ideas he has and I have to tell him no sometimes. You know, I'm trying hard to instill a responsible videographer. haha. I'm not one to control, I believe they have to do by learning as well, but I try to guide him and the others into making better choices. I know one of these days he won't listen, but that is how we learn. I have let him make the decisions and come up with the concepts. He has done well. Next week he will be doing the editor work as well.

You are always so supportive and encouraging. I appreciate you so very much. Thank you. And I am glad I got you up and filming a video! Just love when you make me giggle.

So long as someone is happy with what they are doing and are able to have a way to pay for the necessaries, that seems far from mediocre. Your advice for your children to find something that excites them in life is true and sound and they're blessed to have your encouragement.

I hope that you're having a great day, Xcountytravelers!

Thank you. If my children would not have told me they had a mediocre life, i never would have thought it. They are all happy, just finding they wish they had made other choices. It's normal to feel that way sometimes. As long as they are doing what makes them happy and are not endangering the grands, I'm good.

Just love when you make me giggle.

then my job here is done :D

I so loved your question!!! Thank you so much for making your video!!!

Thanks for the inspiration.
