Happy Holidays!
Welp! It has been
an awesome year! A lot of great things
happening with my stories and I am so encouraged and happy about them. The direction my life is going in is ever
positive and I am just too tickled about it.
The more I focus on the positive and wonderful things in
my life truly the better it gets. I took
some time away from my main facebook account.
One of the ladies in our facebook group passed away in October. It was just really sad signing in knowing she
would never be there again. I took a
break to mourn her passing. While I was
gone I threw myself into my writing and am really pleased with the results of
all that grieving energy. I bet she
would be too.
So, there I was a couple weeks ago tooling along when one
of the ladies from our group asked when I was coming back. I was thinking about sometime early in the
new year but I was told I was missed. So
on my birthday I was taking a break from writing anyway so I went back. The pain is less but I still miss Ro.
I've been back on my old profile less than two weeks and
I don’t see that I've been missed. And I
see I haven’t missed much. People seem
to be doing more complaining and seem to be more unhappy now than when I took
my break. Last thing they need is my
positivity.
I know, shouldn't my positivity be a good thing for
people to be around? Not when they ain’t
feeling it too. I know about ten, geez
it is hard to believe it was that long ago, years ago I was going through a
really rough patch emotionally. I didn't want to hear about anyone else’s good news or be encouraged back then.
Everyone is on a journey called life. We all have our paths to walk and lessons to
learn. I've learned the lessons of the
younger women in our group already. And
they get snippy if you try to offer some advice. *shrug* So I think I will spend more time on my
author’s page like I’ve been doing and stay out of their hair.
It is really strange to me because not only is my women’s
group full of people griping but the writing group too! Everybody’s venting in one group or
another. I had to turn off the
notifications on the writing group. The
woman who started the group has been going through her own personal struggles
this year and left a couple other ladies to run it in her absence.
I think what I’ve learned is that if I ever start a group
like that, I’ll make sure I can maintain it.
When I can’t, I’ll just shut it down because it really isn’t about
writing or books anymore. People just go
in there to vent. She’s trying to get it
back on track. It is going to take time
because she’s been gone most of this year.
My cooking group is still on point though. lol
So I think I’ll stay in my little corner of
facebook. My author’s account doesn’t
have anything on it but puppies, kittens, beautiful men and women, scenery, and
beautifully decorated rooms. All stuff I
use for inspiration to write.
Keeps me out of trouble and keeps people from snapping at
me because they’re unhappy.
Have a safe and happy holiday!
