Life and times of a new farmer/homesteader

A word of thanks, and an apology.

{ 05:13 , Saturday, January 20, 2007 } { 5 comments } { Link }
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!

Ray, I'm sorry that someone left a comment that offended you. It's a shame that people will hurt others.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog... I enjoyed having you and thanks for leaving a comment.

Looking forward to more posts from you

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!
