Sunday Sayings . . .



We had our public meeting with the planning board the other night.  It looks like we're going to be able to build the apartment for my mother in our garage.  We will find out what the terms are next month.  For the most part, people were reasonable with their concerns and voiced them in a reasonable way.  There were one or two people that apparently need to get a life.  I don't want to bore you with the details but let's just say MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.  I told Jim once we get the okay for the apartment I want to put the biggest, pinkest, tackiest plastic flamingos that I can find all over our front lawn and a big sign that says "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE."  Don't think I won't.  Lol!!!  I can laugh about it now but, in all honesty, I've had a rough couple of days emotionally.  We went out for the day today (Saturday) and spent it with friends and made new friends.  We are happy people by nature and I get angry at myself for letting unhappy people get me down.  It's better now and I'm grateful that I'm coming thru this a stronger person.  I'm loosening my grip on several things that are out of my control.  I think this is the lesson in all of this.  You can't control how people act but you can control your reaction to them.  I'm getting there. 
S-L-O-W-L-Y but surely.  : )

Happy Sunday ~ Wendy

I am thrilled for you Wendy that your got approval for the apartment. Rise above all those mean people, they are not worth bothering about. Mean people always get their just desserts in the end. Take care and stay positive.

YAY! I knew the fact that you were building the apartment out of LOVE would triumph! And as far as those mean people go, (and I know a few myself), what goes around comes around.
Have a great week! You deserve it!

karma my dear....karma. What you put in the world is what you will get back, in your own heart and mind...not necessarily through others though. You have a kind heart...sorry that other people are being rude. Hope all goes well!
