As I walk my dog I always notice new things and here in a small bunch of beautiful white birch is an old forgotten friend, left behind to watch the world from it’s lonely spot above. It’s sun faded and ripped and stuck real good, but it’s not forgotten now.

quick summary, 8 years ago I found my ex step son on Facebook, invited him to meet his brother and then into our home and back to my heart. He called me mom, his kids call me Grammie, I knew how horribly he had been raised and how hard his life had been for him. Doing what I could for him and trying to help him was really hard, his narcissistic ways made it impossible to get him to see things different. He’s been in and out of trouble, and was arrested again last Friday for stealing cars. The part that is bothering me is the woman who he had been staying with for the past idk, 6 months is calling him her son. She has known him since birth, but I don’t know how much of his life she has been in, she has been the one in contact with the law since he was living with her and they all think she is mom, I told her I was upset finding out about him almost 24 hours after and not by her,that I felt pushed to the sidelines and that it bothered me she was calling him son, but it didn’t matter even if she said sorry and said it wasn’t like that but then still kept me in the dark about what she knew and then on Facebook she is posting how much she misses him and it’s all her son…..
this is not supposed to be about me, I have no legal right to call him son, so why is it bothering me so much that she is?

One of our beloved heroes was killed while on active duty,
A Somerset County Sheriff’s corporal has been shot and killed in Norridgewock, according to the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office. He was a 13 year veteran and his son is also a part of the Somerset County Sheriff department. He was a well known and well loved member of his community.
Maine State Police say between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday, Somerset County Sheriff’s Corporal Eugene Cole was shot and killed in Norridgewock.
The suspect then stole the officers cruiser and used it to rob a Cumberland Farms store.
Shortly after 5 a.m., police say the cruiser was located off of the Martin Stream Road in Norridgewock.
That particular road leads in so many directions, one being here to my home, that the police have had to spread out across the state in search.
An active manhunt is underway for the suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous. It has been said John Williams was a very active drug user and gun collector. His Facebook page was filled with end of the world conversations.
The last time a Maine officer was shot and killed in the line of duty was 29 years ago on March 31, 1989.
This sort of things don’t happen to us here in Maine. It has shook the whole state.
please keep in mind, a person on drugs killed our hero, not the gun itself.
Our hearts and prayers are with his family as well as our active officers seeking the suspect.
Rest In Peace Maine hero

“Turning feelings into words can help us process and overcome adversity.” ~Sheryl Sandberg
Our emotional responses to everyday life events do not always take a linear path from perception to a reaction. Every day we encounter an endless assembly line of external stimuli that we must quickly access, process and classify. Our brains must categorize these happenings and life moments quickly in order to respond appropriately. Often our subconscious will identify some event as potentially threatening to our sense of self and to our place in the world. Our subconscious will respond by redirecting the impulse away from ourselves towards an external object. This object can be a person, animal or inanimate object. We can also redirect our impulse to an activity. This redirecting of our original impulse is known as psychological displacement.
According to Sigmund Freud, “The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its…

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have been told by more than one patient that the word “gratitude” has become very cliche. They are constantly being told to be grateful as if it is a fix all to their problems. While it may not magically do away with our problems, gratitude has been shown to have a beneficial effect in anyone’s life.
So what is gratitude and is it really such a great thing to have?
One of the best definitions I have found is as follows, gratitude is “the quality of being thankful and a readiness to show appreciation for and to return the kindness.” This is a powerful definition which contains both a…
