The Words We Speak Can Be Very Destructive

What are words? Well words are the expression of my thoughts and are the essence of who I am. You can never get to know someone without listening to their words. Their words are expressing what they are feeling and the kind of person that they really are. Just think for a moment of what our world would be like if we were unable to speak words.
Some might think that it would be a better place, and they might have an argument for that, but when you really come down to it, we would be hard pressed to have any real value in this world and in ourselves without words. It would make for a very dull and unresponsive society.
From the time you were just an infant in a crib, you soon learned very quickly how to express yourself and draw attention to what you wanted through, crying at first, but than latter you learned to develop words and sentences and you started on your journey to self discovery and the world that you live in.
Remember meeting that very special someone that you really wanted to impress and get to know. You carefully put together just the right words that you thought would attract them to you and get them to like you as much as you liked them, but you soon realized that they were doing the same thing, and you had to learn to listen as well to their words, if you wanted to get to know them. While this might take a little longer because the average women speaks about 20,000 words in a day while men only speak about 7000, you might be sitting there for quite awhile men. (just a little joke ladies...very little joke)

Signs a Man Is Not Ready For a Relationship

There are many men out there who are faithful to one woman yet never commit to her. They may date only her, but never step it up to the next level. This is all fine and well for a while, but if the woman wants more, such as marriage, she may be barking up the wrong tree. The sad thing is often the woman gets in too deep. She is treated well and doesn't see it coming. When it hits her, she is already in love.
There are flags and signs that this man isn't ready for a relationship or won't commit to a relationship. One sign is how deeply involved in his life are you? If you have been dating a while and he has slotted time for you every week, although you are in his life it may not be that deeply. A man can take you out every Saturday night, call you every single day, share his day with you verbally and still not be ready for a relationship. These are surface things that are easy to do.
If he on the other hand takes you to Sunday dinner at his moms, or involves you with his family, and you do day to day activities together such as grocery shop, you are more involved. The man not ready for a relationship will give you just enough to keep you around.

5 Reasons Why He Is Not Commitment Ready

Commitment. It ends up being the make or break word of most relationships. If someone is unwilling to commit to you, then you know that at some point, you are going to have to move on without them. And when you find someone who IS willing to make a commitment to you, it can make you feel validated and like you are on top of the world.
When someone does NOT want to commit, it may make you wonder what their reasons are. It can make you feel worthless, or like there is something wrong with you. However, that is not always the case.
If you are wondering why someone is not wiling to make a commitment, here are 5 common reasons for this:
1) They are afraid of commitment.
This applies especially to guys. There are a lot of men out there who really are afraid of commitment. So much so, that it seems almost like a cliche to list it in the number one slot. This is something that you need to be aware of, though, because it is so common.

Sports Fans and Relationships

Baseball season sadly ended for me on Wednesday night, September 28th. Sure I know post season games are ongoing, but my team - the Atlanta Braves didn't make it this year. They lost their final opportunity on Wednesday night in a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 3 - 4 in 12 innings. The Braves led going into the 9th inning and blew it. Like a merciful doctor, the Phillies pulled the plug on the Braves post season hopes and put an end to what was a tragic month of baseball.
Teams win and teams lose but the Braves like their American league counterpart the Boston Red Sox gave up significant leads as Wild Card leaders at the beginning of the September only to see them squander it, and lose it all on the final game of the regular season. The Braves finished the month of September with a record of 9 wins and 18 losses a record hardly worthy of post season play.
My allegiance is with and will always be with the Braves, but I don't allow it to cloud my objectivity and good sense. The Braves were not and should not be heading into the post season unless they were firing on all cylinders - hitting, pitching and fielding. By the end of the season, the St. Louis Cardinals were the better performing team, earning and deserving of their Wild Card win.

Great Ideas for Wedding Anniversary Gifts

When it comes to your wedding anniversary, you do not want to mess it up. One little mistake can haunt you forever. If you do something out of the ordinary then you can be a hero for the lifetime of your marriage. Everyone can do the easy things and get flowers, buy some type of jewelry, and go out for a fancy dinner. That will get you by but you are really just saying that you are lazy and the day is not that different from any other day. What you need to do is still get the flowers, jewelry, and go for the fancy dinner but also add a little extra something that lets your spouse know you still think about them and care.
You can schedule a hot air balloon ride. How romantic will that be? You and your spouse get up early in the morning and head out to a field only to be lifted up in the air by a balloon. Imagine the stories you can tell your friends and family about toasting each other with champagne while watching the sun come over the horizon as you are a thousand feet above the earth's surface. You will be the envy of everyone.
Another idea is to get a star named after your spouse. It may sound a little cheesy but some people will think it is very sweet. The process is easy and you will get a map showing you where the star is so you can see it through a telescope.
