Jan 01, 2013 19:25

2012 was such a weird year for me.So many ups and downs. Working at a job I really don't like. It does pay the bills. I really like many of the people I work with. Management loves me. It just doesn't make me happy. My son deployed to Afghanistan. Scared the shit out of me. I coped. It was always in the back of my head. Couldn't take the pain in my ( Read more... )

looking back then ahead

*hugs you* The drama does bring us down if we allow it. I tend to turn my back on it and carry on. It works for me even though I know it doesn't for some.

I missed you! Hope you're around more often now. Happy New Year to you and yours.

You have the right attitude. I just saw a side of of some people I really like that made me very uncomfortable.Sucked the joy right out of it all for me.
You are one of the reasons I wanted to get back into LJ. Love The way you handle yourself here.

Hugs!

I took out my broom and did some sweeping, now I'm happier on Live Journal than I have been in years.

I've only got a small flist. Some of the people are left over from my Vig/Bean days so I'm sentimentally attached to them even though they have moved away from LJ; some people I interact with a few times a year; plus I've got a small core group of friends who share the same mindset as me and I keep in regular contact with them.

All in all Cindy it sounds like you had a pretty good year. Wishing only the best for you and your family in 2013.

Thank you Lyn. I am foreseeing a good year ahead. I've set attainable goals so i'm thinking all will be good.

LJ drama was something I usually could ignore. I just felt like I was expected to agree with things I just didn't. Rather than get into it with folks that I liked I just pulled away. I have enough of that crap in real life. More emotional preservation than anything. LJ was a safe place to be honest. Not angry and suspicious.
I love your Vig/bean stuff. You're a good spinner of tales. Miss them :)

Hugs!

Glad to see you back, and I know it's been a hell of a year for you. :)

As for LJ, it's always only a few rotten eggs trying to ruin it for the rest of us, but I think it's our choice whether we let that happen or not. I've learned to cut ties, and cut people like that out of my life and out of my LJ since I don't need any of that backbiting mentality. I hope you feel more comfortable here again.

*hugs*

I love that icon!
Being comfortable anywhere is a matter of my attitude. I have people pleasing tendencies that gets in my way. Can't keep everybody happy and be true to myself.

Hugs

Nope, and besides it is NOT healthy and I think people lose respect for people pleasers. We have to be our own number one! :)
