So yesterday was more than a little frustrating for me. The princess had been sick half the night causing us both to lose sleep, back to the doctor and more meds and lab works..Stressful for all concerned because she hates needles..but the girl at the clinic was extremely good and Brae came through it very well. It’s hard watching little ones be sick ..you just want to take the pain from their body and set them back to their exuberant little spirits running wild all across the yard. She just hasn’t felt well, but we might have turned the corner a little last night because of some things I work with, some things others work with(you know who you are)…so she woke up fever free this morning and seemed to feel a little better on her way to school. Yeah…boat is sitting up, now to bail out the water.
On to the next thing…I harass my friends..both on Facebook and Twitter… they return the favor. Sometimes the feeds fills with the jokes, pictures, the timelines with crazy stuff like snippets of song lyrics. My friends think they’re funny(so they tell me), so we all are entertained when I am bored. So..yesterday, someone on the tweet line tells me he hates my song lyrics which, while filling feed, since he also follows me, are not directed to him, but to someone else they also follow. I tell him, they don’t mind..as my friend I am sending it to knows its a joke, much the same way I was messing with another friend earlier in the week with a different genre. He tells me he hates reading it all in the feeds..Ok, I’ll admit I was stressed yesterday because of sick little one who wanted me to hold her half the day, so I didn’t take it well. I told him to unfollow me then…he won’t see it, and he’s a fine one to talk because in his drunken state I saw his offerings sometimes for couple hours and nothing else, which when I mentioned that..he didnt appreciate, because after all, none of us like to be shown the mirror right? Since he kept talking, I finally did the best thing for me..unfollow, block, delete..Gotta love those buttons sometimes and I truly wish that sometimes in the real world there was one available for the difficult people in our lives. So I snark about it a little on FB…just a way to release the energy, which is better than kicking his ass to hell and back.
On to the next thing..Ever notice how when you’re having a difficult day things seem to come in set of numbers? Mine seem to happen in 3’s..yeah I know the significance, doesn’t make me like it any better,lol. Anyway, on Facebook, a christian friend of mine was posting some things, similar to what I had been doing, only hers more positive, godly, sweet…One statement caught my eye. It was a quote from Joyce Meyers(I already have issues with this woman and others of her kind, but I digress).It said, “when you walk in love, you give up your right to be right”..WTF!?! Who gives up the right to have a valid point? I stated that I felt that this was wrongly worded. When walking in love, then one gives up the NEED to be right. So a woman,says I missed the point. Walking in love is following Christ and giving up the right to be right means to follow unequivocally. I tell her I didn’t miss the point. When one is in a “love” relationship, whether it be spiritual or physical, then our need to be right diminishes. We CHOOSE to not do whatever it takes to be “right”. Giving up the right to be right implies that choice is taken away…with my control issues, that won’t ever happen. Yeah, needless to say, it did not go over well. I did apologize to my friend for the snark on her page, her answer? It’s fine, everyone has different view…yeah, she believes in the statement she posted, but because I am pagan..which she knows, will pat me on the head and overlook it. So here is my thinking. If one is going to blindly accept what someone says either from behind the pulpit, some televangelist with dollar signs in their pockets, selling their spiel to the sheeple who will not question, seek, study for themselves, then I guess they get what they are asking for. Does that make me right? I think so, according to what I have experienced, seen, learned…but I don’t have the need to go pound others over the head to make them learn..That may be their way of getting through life..that way if god doesn’t intervene in some situation they’ve brought upon themselves, they can spout some platitude to explain it all away.
So what did I do with all the frustrations of the day, both off and online? I shut down Twitter..less aggravation, and it hits my phone from some people anyway…and stuck to chat with a few, and lit the sage, clearing my space, smelling that crisp smoke, letting the stress and negative float away. Simple things really, but sometimes its all it takes . Today? So far so good,- the princess has left for school, feeling a little better..I have’t gotten into a verbal skirmish with anyone yet, coffee has been imbibed..so maybe there is hope for the rest of the day….~smiles~
