God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
This last few days have been tough. There has been a lot of drama going on around the forum and I am not crazy about it. It appears that some people feel the need to lash out when somone posts their personal opinion. We all have opinions on things and that doesnt mean that we are right or wrong but it is our opinion. Our time on this Earth is limited but yet we fight instead of try to get along. We try to self-validate. I very seldom rant or complain, because it normally doesnt solve anything.
I have read more then my share of comments that could be taken wrong and havent said a word. Today for the first time I had to learn how to "Ignore" someone on the forum. I am sure that it will not be the last one that I will have to put on the elite list. I am not going to continue to read post that are malicious in nature about anyone. We all have struggles and we are all on this journey. We can sit here and say that the journey is personal, and to a point it is, but none of us are on this journey alone. We are all here to support each other in our ups and our downs.
I will continue to post when I think i have something relevant to add. I am not going to post just to try to reach the top of the posting board. I have not been big on blogging but I am thinking that it might be a better way to talk on the forum without making sure I am in the right topic header for the forum.
I pray that you all have continued success on this journey that we all chose to take. There are many paths but only one destination, healthier living. I pray that we all make it to the destination. Godspeed to each and every one of you.
