Ecclesiastes 2:18-26

18 I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22 What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 23 For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.

24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, 25 for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

How much is TOO much..

So in my family there are A LOT of Alcoholics, and sometimes its just too much for me..So what do you do about taking what those people say, while there in that state of mind, with a grain of salt?

Lessons Learned...

Some lessons cant be taught, they simply have to be learned.  Lately things in my life have been quiet chaotic, so many things have happened some stressful some not so stressful. I've gotten to the point where if you are not my children, husband or people in arms length from me . i don't communicate with you. I know its sad, but I've gotten so wrapped up in  getting ahead financially, its the only thing on my mind. i don't want to struggle anymore, and i wont! So lately  it has really been straining on my friendships, my family-ships and  just my life in general.  Although sometimes going through specific things, really exposes the people that really care about you and are always their for you. and sometimes just shows you who really could care less about you and more about themselves. I've learned a lot about that the past few months. I've gotten so used to having surface relationships with people, i'm assuming that's why its so easy to cut peopl...
