It’s okay to have a bad day.Seriously, it’s not the end of the world. It doesn’t mean that you’re back sliding back to where you were. It’s just a bad day, and sometimes they happen, and you just have to let it. Bad days are stressful, and there’s no point in stressing yourself out more about it. Just let it happen, go home, and have a nice tea latte made with Mother’s
You can have a lot of respect for somebody, but not really like them all that much.
This was not an easy lesson to learn. There is someone in my life that I just can't put my finger on what it is that I don't like about them. You see I respect this person a lot, I feel I have a lot to learn from them, I appreciate and welcome their feedback and criticisms, I also enjoy talking to this person from time to time. But they tell me some things sometimes that just really irk me, I see and hear about their behaviour and it makes me want to give them a lecture on ethics and manners. But not rey my place to do so.
So it's okay to respect someone, and not like them all the time. I'm not saying that I hate this person, but I believe I just need to limit the amount of time I'm around them. I'm fairly certain they feel the same way. So just let it be what it is, you're never going to like everyone, and not everyone is going to like you, but it doesn't mean that everyone has to be jerks to one another. You can still be friendly and respectful and kind even.
Treatment can work, if you let it. I've been on treatment for a little over a month now, and I'm telling you, things are starting to work. I've had more energy this week that I have ever had in my life. I am starting to really feel like a real person. This is amazing. To finally feel like I can accomplish something, that I can actually live up to the potential that so many people tell me I have, that I myself feel that I have. I can get out there and do good work.
Loose Leaf Tea is a Goddess Send.
If you've never been to DAVIDsTEA then you need to get yourself to one ASAP. This wasn't really a lesson that I learned this week, but rather one that I was reminded of. Also, yes I said Goddess, because seriously, if there is a deity that gave us tea, she is a woman, and she's probably queer.
That work is work, and you shouldn’t have to take it home with you.
Seriously, it's okay to leave it at work, and not worry about it when you get home. IT'S OKAY!
You have amazing and beautiful friends.
Seriously, I do, these people in my life are amazing. I was asked this week to have one of my posts published in a aboriginal cultural and news magazine called, Tusaayaksat that is based out of Inuvik, NT. This is something that couldn't have been accomplished with out my dear friend Maia L.
Upon hearing this news, my friends gave me a tonne of support. A lot of them posted it all over facebook, Kristin C. took it a level higher and started tweeting the hell out of my blog, and I had Kate Bornstein comment on it, which was an incredible honour.
And you'd think that would be enough, but another friend who was being interview on CBC radio asked me my permission to read my piece on air. This didn't happen, but to have all these beautiful and wonderful people show pride in me? Well it was a little over whelming.
But wait, there's one more thing, and I know that at this point I might be bragging, but some people in the blogosphere might be aware of the incredibly fun and talented Sare3 she has an incredibly blog that is beautiful and inspiring in the simplicity of it's lay out, and the honest way that she write and shares what she does. Her blog often makes me smile everytime I check it out.
Well she wrote something that was dedicated to me, and I want to link to it, because I have never been so touched by someone's words. They were kind, and part of me feels that I don't deserve or live up to them, but I will let you decide that. So please check it out, and check out her blog to! Thursdays Song of Day: Us
Well I think that's quite a list of lessons to learn in one week, I look forward to a new week of ups and downs, and more lessons to learn. And maybe I might get lucky and win the lottery! Heh.
See you tomorrow!
