Gommy wants to say 'Thank You' to all my 'peeps' today......those would be all the nice people who follow 'gommysgoodies' and have taken the time to tell Goms how inspired they are by my 'blogs' and how I should never quit writing them because they read them every day and look forward to each blog and how they get so much out of it....Wellllll, Hallelujah!!!!....that is exactly why Gommy writes her blogs....to help people with things in their life, through examples of times in my life. Sometimes we need to hear what other people are going through to realize we are not going through it alone or that we are not the only ones going through a tough time. It must be working because it is very nice to hear how much Gommy touches so many people. Aw shucks..........you are making Gommy blush :-))) THANK YOU GUYS.....
There are so many things Gommy has in her mind that I can pass on to people. Like the examples of what Gommy did or went through at sad or troubling times in my life. Or the happy times Gommy has shared with my children and grandchildren and how it is not wise to over-step your childrens' parenting choices with their children....Or how to avoid trouble at the Holidays or different family get-togethers of our lives.....Now, some of these examples may work for some people and may definitely not be the way to go for another person...........but if anything that Goms has gone through can help someone else.....I'll be happy to share. So, all you followers out there who like my blogs......I'll be around for a while....God willing....AMEN !!!
So many times in our life, we wonder, "Am I the only one who feels this way?" Or..... "How can I or how should I handle this or that?" It helps it come into focus if we hear how someone else handles things. But, if you like Goms advice, you would love it if Grandpa Mike had a blog....He would tell you some of his ideas on handling certain things that come up in ones life. Grandpa Mike is a perfect example of a very good person. No, really....I can't emphasize it enough that he is a VERY good person.....There is even a picture of Grandpa Mike in the dictionary under - VERY GOOD PEOPLE ;) !!!! He is truly abnormally fair with issues or confrontations that arise and he never gets flustered. Geesh....that is hard to do! Sometimes Gommy doesn't like to admit that he is right, if we are the ones having the disagreement, but if Goms gives it a few days, it becomes clearer that Grandpa Mike has made some very good points. In altercations or disagreements of any proportion, he keeps his head clear, never raises his voice and can weigh both sides of an issue....WOW...how does he do that? AND he does it without bias.....That is the trickiest part, because we all have biases. It is innate. But, somehow he does it. If more people were like Grandpa, there would be a whole lot more peace in the world and a lot less nastiness....
So, some of the 'wisdom' Gommy shares, has been learned over the 24 years of living with Grandpa Mike and observing how he behaves. It is harder to do than to admire in him though.....I'll tell you that for sure....But I guess we can all learn from our spouses if we give it a chance. Remember, there is a lid for every pot....and Grandpa is my lid. Thank you God. We have gone through a lot in our years together and what Goms has come to learn is that old saying, "What doesn't kill you makes you closer and stronger"....and we surely are a very strong and much closer couple. I am grateful for the years we have been lucky enough to share together. He is my rock.....Thank you Grandpa!
Once again...let Gommy say thank you to all of you nice and thoughtful people who have taken the time to let me know that you like and appreciate what Goms has to say and share with you......See you next time boys and girls. Hugs & Mush, Gommy
(PS....B.B.F.-you know who you are sweetie- I never wrote anything in any of my blogs about what happened all those years ago about you......my blogs are MY blogs and some times we may 'think' it is about us (or anyone) because it hits a nerve in us.....but it wasn't about you....promise......still love you sweetie....and always will) ;)
