A word of thanks, and an apology.
This morning I was very frustrated and angry at a comment I saw on one
of my blog postings. I proceded to write a very long and
vitriolic diatribe in response, when a new friend here asked me if I
had gotten any sleep yet. I told her that no, I was too angry to
sleep, and told her why, and showed her the post I was planning on
putting up.
Well, needless to say, I didn't post my diatribe, and I don't regret
that at all. I would have regretted many of the things I was
about to say. I might not have come back here, and I so enjoy it
here.
My new friend help calm me, helped me realize that my problem was me,
not any one elses opinions, and generally got me back into a rather
peaceful frame of mind. I'm sorry that I exposed her to that side
of me, my anger, but I am glad she was there for me. I'm really
glad I didn't expose everyone else here to that side of me.
I'm not perfect, I never will be. I'm working on progress, not
perfection. I get frustrated, and I get angry, and I try to work
through those feelings and emotions instead of letting them explode out
of me. This morning I quite nearly let my darker side take over,
and the results were quite ugly. If it weren't for my friend
helping me calm down and help me see what I was about to do and say, I
know I would have regretted it. I'm not a violent person, never
have been, but I can truly have a wicked tongue.
Thank you my friend, and you know who you are, and I'm sorry if I
caused you any discomfort. You are a true friend and quite a
blessing. You are in my prayers of thanks.
I feel much better now. Thank you.
Blessings,
Raymond

Sorry to hear of your frustration and anger at a comment. My guess is that it was probably innocent on the other party's behalf. Anyway, I'm glad that you're sticking around--I enjoy reading your posts :D

Too bad people feel the need to leave nasty comments on other people's blogs. I, for one, really enjoy reading everything you have to say!

The comment wasn't intended, I am certain, to be nasty or mean spirited. It just rubbed me the wrong way. I felt i was terribly misinformed, and I didn't appreciate what it implied. I posted the comment and my response, which is mnot as vitriolic as I had originally wrote. Sometimes it's good to sleep on something before taking action. I still felt action was necessary.
Blessings,
Raymond

someone left a comment on one of my posts that offended me... no, rather, affronted me. but as I thought about it, I knew it wasn't meant maliciously, and I saw what she meant, and it made me think, and it turned out to be a great comment. amyway, glad you did not leave. I'd have missed you!
