PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 21

[paigevz]

When I was a little girl learning to read, my mom said I was ALMOST the top reader. But there was one little girl ahead of me. She said every Friday when we had our little tests, I would come home crying because that one little girl was better. She said never mind there were 24 others that were below me, it was that one that I saw.

I'm still the same. For all the support and love yesterday, it's that one that I see. Call it whatever you like, but when you have reasons that you can't be near me, whatever they are.......well then, you are the one that makes me feel small. And now you have a friend of mine feeling small as well. That is unacceptable.

The question is, what do I do about it? Do I withdraw? Do I fight? Do I hide? Do I ignore? Do I turn the other cheek? Do I accept anyway, AGAIN, although I feel rejected?

What to do, what to do......................

We finally figure out that we can't be the top reader all the time. We learn to take pride in what we are the top person in and we take pride in our friends when they are the top person in something else and we never ever allow anyone to make us feel small. Because we are all unique and that's what makes us interesting. And we learn to stay true to who we really are because in the end, it's all we have. The rest of the world will just have to learn to do the same.

My Dad used to say, "Everyone's different - and God made us that way for a reason."
I lost my Dad two and a half years ago to lung cancer - and I still cry a little almost every day - I understand what those of you with aging and/or ailing parents are going through. Your friendships help me so much - and I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.
Maybe now I can help those of you who are feeling "different" right now with my Dad's words - remember - "Everyone's different - and God made us that way for a reason."

And if they don't?

Snowy, I like what your daddy said.

[disneynutt1225]

I started shopping last week but I'm nowhere near done. I've barely scratched the surface.

Christmas is my most depressing time of the year.

Debbie IMed me and said that she went to ER because she was eating steak last night and it got stuck. She said that they are calling in a specialist. I tried calling her, but got her voicemail. I'm worried about her.

I'll be ok...decisions that I made that I now have to deal with. I really want that hole.

 

[snowwhitesmom]
