Getting past the bad and looking forward to the good things in life is what most of us strive for. There are times when certain events happen that we just can't or wont forget because they are so bad or so good. What is the worst thing that has happened to you? Do you still remeber the best event in your life? I have a very vivid memory when I need to...yes there are things I deliberately block out, but I do for the most part remember the best and worst events in my life. Some of the things I am about to share with you are funny while others are sad, but don't worry, it's okay to laugh with me as I share with you htis part of my life.
While you are at it feel free to checkout some hubbers such as Lesleysherwood and FloraBreenRobison.
The Best - in no particular order
- Date - I was trweny three and it was the simplest date but the most memorable. On the side of the mountains looking down on the city. There was no hanky panky, just light kissing.
- Boyfriend - I am obligated to say my fiance, but in reality there is someone I dated way back when. He was my first real love. He made me dinner and would not leave me an inch. I can remember him going through fire for me. Nathaniel was the best boyfrind I ever had. I was nineteen.
- Friend - My former boss, who is still my best friend. George.
- Kiss - If your first kiss is good then you never really forget it. It wasn't a kiss on the lips. It was on my cheeks and I thought I would never wash my face again.
- Financial - When I won $100,000 JA for answering questions about Jamaican culture
- Job - There are three jobs I cannot choose from. My last job as a personal chef, Co-ordinator for the Jamaica Self-Defense Academy and Event co-ordinator at The View Hotel and Venue.
- School experience - Being a well known dancer. I did creative dancing, acting and singing. I was a member of the drama club and choir.
- Spiritual experience - being able to discern stuff like knowing that a friend was in an accident while it was happening.
- Writing experience - Getting paid for articles I submitted in our local paper, The Gleaner
- Emotional experience - Finding myself and knowing I am beautiful, talented and courageous. Believing in myself and rebuilding my self esteem and confidence.
The Worst - in no particular order
- My worst kiss - I was asked out on a date. He kissed me good night and put his tongue in my mouth. It was the most foul, stink, bad tatsing mouth I had ever encountered and never want to experience that again! Yuk! BTW I washed my mouth out with bleach which cut my gums really badly..lol
- My worst boyfriend - My obsession. He was sexy, attentive, good looking but knew not how to please me, physically or emotionally. Unreliable and a womanizer.
- Being Raped - No need to elaborate
- Worst job - Working in a games room. One day there was a dicussion about perfumes and colognes. I was young and wanted to prove my perfume had the most favorable odor. A man asked to smell my blouse/shirt. When I allowed him to smell me, he bit me on my breast. I punched him in the face and walked off the job.
- Worst travel experiance - Going into the city with my mom after swallowing two castor seeds the previous evening. I vomited all the way.
- Nightmare - Related to rape.
- Medical experiance - Discovering I had endometriosis and had to have a Hyterectomy.
- Psychological experience Depression and nervous breakdown
- Finacial - Using my credit cards to save a business and never recovering my money or being able to pay back the debt. Being bankrupt and finding myslef in a sh*t load of debt.
- Emotional - Having my heart broken into a million pieces by a man I though I was going to marry.
- School Experience - Being sent a prank letter that someone was in love with me. It was not a good time for me as it was close to my traumatic experience of being violated.

The purpose of this hub is to let you know that no matter the experience, you can see the positive in your life. There is something happening in our lives each and every day. The way you deal with those experiences is another matter. Do you let them get you down or do you see the positive in them?
One of the things I did was to make two lists similar to the ones above. One list had the bad things that happened to me and the other with the good. When I was finished I realized that the good list had more items than the bad. I have that list somewhere. Whenever I forgot my blessings I would take out that list and remind myself of all the good things in my life.
I encourage you to do the same thing. Every time you think that your are going through the worst, remember two things (1) there are good things that you can give thanks for, (2) someone else might be going through worst.
- Personal Hypnosis For Self Help And Development
Hypnosis use to be a scary subject as most of our contact with it was through films and hearsay. We have seen where the hypnotherapist would be trying to hypnotize one person and the onlooker will be the one hypnotized instead. We have seen people...

There is pain here. There is powerful hope and faith here. Yes to the power of the positive over all that is negative. Yesterday I survived a terrible car crash with only some cracked ribs. I prayed through the whole experience. I'm still praying. Peace and Light...Gary.
I am so touched by your article. You have really a very dramatic life. That is okay Emerald. Just move on! You'll find better horizon outside your "used-to-bes." I was once also a victim of sexual harassment three times in separate incidences. But I was very thankful that it never led to something terrible. I wish you Good luck Emerald...
Flora, we tend to forget the grey events, the ones we see as insignificant, but what we don't realize is that every moment of every day is significant. I am glad you survived all those horrible events but also hope you can reach the point where there are no more grudges.
Gary, I am grateful that you are alright. Life over a few cracked ribs is something to be thankful for. I am honored that a life coach finds this hub useful. Thank you. Praying for a speedy recovery for you.
Saratosadui, thank you for the positive comments and encouragements. I hope that you too have found peace with your very traumatic events.
Just keep your head UP! Don't let anyone to ruin your will for BETTER! Keep you and your self up,and what is most important: ALWAYS RISE ABOVE THE SITUATION! You will have ALWAYS have support in me! Whatever happens, one "lafamillia" hubber is here!
Thanks for this hub, emerald. I have recently been wallowing in my misfortunes. Last night I watched a show about a paralyzed young man who is determined to walk again. The support, love and sacrifice from family, friends and neighbors was overwhelming. Although my problems still exist seeing what others have to contend with puts my life in perspective.I admire the way you address and express your life's ups and downs. Voted up and awesome:)
My dear Emerald,
Sorrow and happiness are well decided by the almighty to take place in the life of each and every human being. A life full of either sorrow or joy only, makes the life dull. All the colors of life emerges in the shape of spectrum when the black period of undesired grief ends and the happiness rises like a spring season. The peacock of the heart of the human being begins to dance and forgets all the grief and miseries. All of us have to follow this rule either with our willingness or unwillingly.
Lafamillia,
Pedrn44,
Aupadhyay,
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. We sometimes forget the good in our lives and dwell on the bad. But we can be assured that we have the will to be positive, all we need to do is grasp it. Thanks!
Hi Emerald! This hub is so inspiring. Of course, I hate that you had to go through those tragedies in life. You are so right in that we really have to learn to count our blessings. Thanks for providing an uplifting hub!
Thank you Dexter, your comment means a lot to me.
I love this hub. It does show that no matter what one has been through can be overcome. I love the variety here too. You have things that are quite funny (the kiss) to heartbreakingly tragic.
Thanks Emerald.
I worked as a dental nurse a very long time ago. Thats enough to put you off kissing for life. Ha ha.
The weird thing though Lesley is that I still love kissing...lol
...well Miss E - after reading all of that I wish I could kiss your beautiful hand and give you a hug - and have all men treat you for you (and all women for who they really are) with decency, respect and equality.

Hi Mr. Bombastic, I am honored at your visit to this my hub space. Thank you for your warm sentiments as usual.
xoxo
You are a kind of friend whom i want to be with..,,, you know just being human in worst circumstances and at the same time remained contained.
For me to be called a real highly intelligent being....is when you have emotional intelligence.
I'm your fan for being tough....ahem,.
Your hub is heartwarming albeit. Peace. MWAh. XOXO.
Princess, I want to thank you for this warm comment. I am honored that you see me that way. We all have the potential to be how we want to be. Many of the people who are down because of circumstances don't want to be that way, they want to feel happy and normal.
Thank you again Princess
XOXO
Emerald, your name suits you well because you are a gem. Lately I've been bombarded by people who pity themselves for the amount of suffering, one of whom who seriously compared himself to the Biblical Job! I'd much rather be around people like you! You remind me of Mark Twain's famous quote, "Generally speaking, people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Keep the faith!
PS - You may enjoy reading Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning". If his story can't convince someone that attitude is everything, no one's will!
Windclimber, thank you so much for your wonderful comment. That book I will get.
Even when going through some of my pain I remember being told by people how strong I was due to my attitude. The lowest point in my life was depression and I couldn't understand why I wanted to take my life until the mechanics of that mental disease was explained to me. So now, how can I not be positive?
Thank you my friend.
Yes sometimes the bad things happen for good reason we don't always see it at the present time. I can confess that many bad things that happened in my life has brought me great joy over the years. Its a peace with the Lord a Love that no one can steal.
Thanks for sharing your hub
Thanks Ladyfiddler, very well said.

I'm touched you mentioned me in your hub. I remember a lot of events in my life very vividly, both very good and very bad. I think the events we tend to forget are those that are ordinary. But the worst thing to happen to me happened before I was old enough to remember it-almost dying of pneumonia when I was born. The best-it depends upon how you define best. If you mean accomplishments, I won several awards in grade 12and made the Dean's list in University. If you mean family-wise, I think it was completely the circle when I performed in The Gondoliers -decades after she was in all the Gilbert and Sullivan shows and then I performed with her and Mom around town in The Three Generations.
I find I do tend to hang on to old grudges instead of forgetting the people involved. I'm better at this than I once was, however.
