Bag Lady?

Hey Blog family,

Eryka Badu sings a song: "Bag Lady, you gon hurt yourself carrying all them bags like that...another line, you can't hurry up cause you got too much stuff, (------) (substitute people), take off running, when they see you coming, oh yes they do..."

i want you to know that we as human beings all carry luggage from our past, but foster kids, turned adults, well, we may need  a heftier suitcase!
Allot has happend in our lives, without the love, support, guidance and help of our parents.
We have to learn to compartmentalize our lives, putting all things in our brain, the good being in the front of course in order!
All the negative that happend in your life should go in the back, way in the back, like when your trying to get your bag off a grey hound bus, and you was the first person on! (don't act like you never took grey hound!)
Think of all the good that you are doing, just the fact that you are reading something in hopes of improving yourself or growing your mind, these things should be put where you can grab them from memory in an emergency....that's when a problem arrives that brings you down or makes you sad or mad...those good memories will allow you to get through life daily, without everyone knowing you have a "problem"... pick Louis vitton for your luggage, so far I find their orginal suitcases are the best!
I only open this luggage when I need something out of the memory bank, good or bad.
This song is great because it says that you have too much stuff, you can't hurry up...when we are weighed down with our problems, often this is the case, it does not have to be, just put a smile on your face and don't let them see you sweat. Everyone, yes, everyone, has problems, it's how you compartmentalize them and what luggage you put them in that matters, you don't want them to spill into your everyday life!
No one wants to be around a worry wort or a chronic complainer, so learn to NOT have pity party's and get rid of any person who complains or worry's all the time, it is contagious...I am not talking about basic complaints, i mean people who do it all the time, even after you told them. You are not going to help yourself or them by cosigning on their misery.
Be joyful and happy, even if you think it is a lie, tell yourself everyday life is great, and make it great with a walk, a smile, or a great memory... we are all in a sense "bag Ladies" but I want you to get the Louis Vuitton, so at least your luggage will hold your "issues" in a good way, not to be revealed until you open it or share it!
You are loved and blessed, xo Tanya
