Rainy Days and Mondays
Well, Sunday night again and I am thinking to myself, Monday, ugh. Funny how fast the weekend goes by and then bam, Monday appears yet again to beat me down again. Sunday though seems especially prone to going by really fast. It always seems no matter how early I get up on Sunday, before I know it it is Sunday night and the week begins again. I suppose that is a good thing, I am still here and still have things do accomplish during the week, but sheesh, why does the weekend have to be over sooo fast before I have to do it all again. I don’t know what it is about Monday, probably the getting started and having the next few days looming and knowing what things must get accomplished. Starting is the hardest part, just getting the motivation to get going is always the task and always the most difficult, especially for me. Once I get going in the week I do great, but it isn’t easy. Loving Monday, not going to happen, not for me anyway, it is the one day that I can’t seem to get overly enthusiastic about, try as I might to put a positive spin on it. So, I bid adieu to the weekend and hello to Monday, my nemesis and likely to remain so, but I will take it down and survive to see Tuesday :0)

Mean People . . . GRRRR
I recently learned something about mean people, and came to some conclusions about their role in my life. My thought has always been that according to the “Golden Rule” the way you treat people is how you want to be treated. I suppose this is a naive way to think, but it is how my thought process goes and I don’t see it changing. I have accepted that karma is a real and true thing and hope to act accordingly. I honestly think the good you put out into the world gets paid back to you and the bad you put out in the world also comes back somehow, someway. I don’t think that I have vindictive or cruel intentions when I have failed to act as I know I should have, and of course like every human I am liable to make mistakes and say things and do things that can be mean and thoughtless, but never with real intention to do harm. Although I am starting to believe there are some people who I don’t think feel quite the same way about this issue. Sadly there are people that don’t have that filter and don’t truly care about their behavior and their treatment of others. It is funny because I have been told on occasion that I am too nice. I suppose I can’t help myself and don’t really think that giving back cruelty to those who have been cruel to me will serve any real purpose Maybe that makes me a bit of a Pollyanna, but so be it, that is how I am. I was recently confronted with a cruel person, and this cruelty was for no reason. I find I can’t do more than just avoid this person and be, at the bare minimum, cordial to them. Seeing more and more of this nature in people still does not change how I view things and my reactions to them, because I can never allow myself to be the bad guy. I truly want to be the bigger person, not the bad guy for the sake of payback.

I Stress, Therefore I Am
Stress, the great evil of my life. I worry about it all, and why you might ask. If I knew that I could maybe get some peace of mind, but alas I just worry about things in general. It must be my deep rooted need to know how things are going to work out. I do not care for the unknown, that just about scares me to death more than anything, the unexpected. I love to have a plan and then stick to it. Does that make life dull, I suppose so, but that is how I like it, planned out nice and easy. Guess that means I miss out on stuff, but hey, what I don’t know can’t hurt me. I try to get my nerve up, but fear what outcome will befall me, so yeah, I play it safe and like it that way. Tauruses are notorious for that, and I am not the exception by any means. Life passing me by, I say I take the road more traveled, and that seems to make all the difference.
