Am I right for taking this attitude toward the situation. Should I do this and then butt-out or should I not even be involved to begin with? See, I'm the kind of person who wants everyone to be happy, and I sometimes feel that I know what would make someone happy if they could just see the big picture. I'm sure this is major flaw of mine, but I can't help it. I want everyone to be comfortable and pleased with life in general. I try my best to see the glass half-full. That's sometimes easier said than done, of course. If only I possessed the talent of mind control :)
What are your thoughts...give it a shot or give up? I'm guessing your comments will be 50/50!!
On another note, I go back to the doctor next Tuesday, the 22nd. If I'm not pregnant this month, then next month we start our first round of Clomid with an IUI (intrauterine insemination). I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. If anyone has had experience with this, I would love any advice on what to do/expect! Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this next journey.
Also, I know that those of you who read my blog saw the previous post about Brian and Kristy Gray. Little Helen's funeral was yesterday and Kristy was able attend. I did not go to the service, but from what I've read on Facebook from those who did go, the service seemed to be extremely inspirational and uplifting. This family is one to be looked up to not only for their strength and positive attitudes, but more importantly for their faith in God and for letting him lead them through this. I am simply amazed. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they continue with Kristy's recovery and grieve the loss of their precious child.

I'm struggling with a situation like yours. I'm friends with a couple that are wanting to sue an employer. There's alot at stake that they seem to not be thinking about, and I've been wondering if I should say something or just stay out of it. I love them and I just want what's best for them. I tend to dwell on things going on in others lives instead of worrying about my own. This is something I really struggle with. But to answer your question, I think it depends on the situation. I would probably give it a shot and see what happens :)
Well I think it depends on the situation and your relationship with the person. But without knowing all of that, I do think that whoever coined the phrase "honesty is the best policy" was one smart cookie. Provided it is approached in a friendly/civil manner, it's so much better to just put it out there than to hold it in. And definitely better than talking to everyone else about the issue but not the person who is actually involved. The downside is that of course they won't always heed your advice... but that's life. Oh, if we all had magic wand and could fix everyone's problems to our own liking. Good luck!
I am so excited for you...I hope you are pregnant right NOW though. If not and you guys are going to proceed with Clomid...be prepared for hot flashes, especially at night and definitely moodiness...I had both BAD!! But just keep reminding yourself how worth it everything will be!!!
Don't we all? We all think we know what's best for others. I'm the queen of that. You definitely need to express your opinions, if you can do so in a sincere manner.
I hope you get the news you so badly want VERY soon. Thinking of you and Josh during this time.
It may seem hard at first to voice what is on your mind. But if you feel that it is for the best then go ahead. the other person or persons may not like it at first and not want to hear but if you get it all out they have to listen. Think of it as if you are a witness and talking to a jury. Once the jury hears words they don't forget what they have heard. It will all work out. Good luck on your adventure to Motherhood. Hang in there it will happen soon.
