My little vacation from the internet has done me good. It allowed me time to reach some conclusions:
1. Although I always thought the bumper stickers were kinda stupid, mean people do indeed suck (as do dishonest people).
2. The asshatery of others is a reflection on them, not me.
3. It is better to go through life with an open heart that operates from the premise that people are good and get hurt from time to time than it is to go through life with a shrivelled, black walnut of a heart that trusts no one.
4. Life can have a strange sense of timing - personal relationships can be craptacular at the same time as business relationships bear unexpected promotions and raises.
5. Even if one thing isn't going so well, you have to at least try to enjoy and appreciate the dozens of other things, people, and relationships that ARE good.
6. A little moping is okay, but after a certain point, it serves no purpose and only hurts the moper.
7. Helping someone else is among the better ways to forget your cares.
8. Change does not have to be a negative thing - in fact, it can be quite good.*
And with that the Greater Powellhurst Area Mopery is closed for the season.*
*I'll have to let you know how those last bits pan out, but I am pretty sure I'm right.
