Just Be Nice

 I'm not feeling well today. 

I missed one of my long-acting insulin doses a couple of nights ago and I've had trouble stabilizing my blood sugars since. 

Plus, like many, I am feeling just kind of unsettled and "blah." 

Sometimes, living a beautiful life doesn't come easy. We have to work at the whole thing. 

Frankly, I'm not all that interested in working too hard. But, one of my super powers is that I don't like it when I feel unsettled and blah so I can't live there too long.  

And as much I would like to UNLOAD on poor unsuspecting social media friends and acquaintances, I don't believe in pouring out that much venom and unhappiness into the world. 

Social media can be a terrific thing. But it can also be harmful and toxic. 

It is easy to fall into the pit of the misunderstood and disenfranchised. However, I firmly believe that nobody is responsible for my attitude but me and me alone. 

There are so. many. words. floating about the interwebs. Most of them are not so nice. 

The real story is the majority of people I know aren't so committed to life on social media. They get up. They take care of their families. They try to be nice to people around them. They don't really stress about what some poor soul in another part of the country feels about them. 

They have bigger fish to fry. As do we all. 

Are many of us talking too much? Are we putting things out there that can't be retracted? 

You bet your bippie. So this post is going to be short. 

You are loved. 

We are a fortunate people. 

God has been so faithful to me and mine. That I will shout from the rooftops. 

Just be nice. You have bigger fish to fry. 

Amen and amen.
