I am a happy Strawberry, Grainiacs! I have connected with friends this summer and am about to connect with more. Friends make me happy. Friends are family (to me!). So I hurt when someone I consider a friend would rather make me feel bad about myself. We all have all run across those types (if you haven't, I want to live in your fantasy world!). I shared a photo on FB the other day. The quip stated "Someone told me I was delusional......I almost fell off my unicorn." Yep, some days I want to live in my delusional world-- and some days I do!!
I've decided that life is getting too short. I'm now at the top of my mountain and I will be heading down. How do I want to spend my twilight years? Agonizing about a person I just met (and considered a friend). Okay let me tell you what happened. I don't think she sees this blog, but if she does--- You really hurt my feelings the other day!!! I'm not going into all the details, but suffice it to say I was getting a drift that things weren't perfect in paradise. The final blow was when I excitedly showed her a new candle I just purchased. It is in a pretty jar and I love the fragrance. Sarcastically she announced to the group, "I think it smells like mosquito repellant." I know it doesn't sound like much and I know you will say "let it slide like water off a duck's back" but for me, it was the final slap and although I will be civil to this person, I won't consider her a friend; an acquaintance for sure, but again, I am at the walking...running....sliding....rolling....tumbling stage of that mountain. I do not always want to be on guard (that is, guarding myself) against insults or little blows that make me feel bad. Can you understand that too?
What do you think? Are you calling me Pollyana instead of Strawberry? Am I delusional? Well I have to go and feed Buttercup, my unicorn, now.
