Long long time no write.

This has been a long time coming.  Anyone else notice the more you try to have patience and the more you try to mind your own business the more people come at you and you lose your patience more often than you would like?

I've turned 46 and I realize more and more about myself, others and especially how grateful I am for my husband, kids, skids, immediate family and true friends.

First lets talk about vengefulness, spitefulness and vindictiveness.  I have never been a person to exercise or exert any energy on any of these things.  However, many around me live daily to be that person.  They also don't just relegate these actions to those who they believe to have wronged them but anyone associated with the individual they want to get even with.

I think about this daily and try to understand it and actually where they are coming from.  I just can't.  I guess I understand why they use their emotions of hurt, anger, and disappointment to justify their behavior but I still don't fully understand what they hope to accomplish.

Thinking back lately on my immediate family and growing up, as a kid you never realize what you are experiencing and learning from the adults until later in your life, well if you ever do at all.

I have to say that most if not all of my immediate family were never and aren't vengeful, spiteful or vindictive to anyone and especially anyone they believe to have "wronged" them.  And I would have to say that most of them have plenty and valid reasons to take a couple of people completely OUT.
