I’ve just been super grumpy lately and that’s not cool. Good things are happening but not fast enough and I want good things NOW. I’ve put up with a lot of shit for the last couple years and I’ve bitten my tongue a lot and I’m pretty tired of that. But I’m probably going to keep it up-for the most part-just to keep the boat from rocking too hard.

I need to pay someone to listen. That would help.

at the end of the day, sometimes people stink. but most of the time people are awesome and we don’t notice because we are busy noticing the stink from the last person (even when any of these persons is ourself).

but here is the best news (in my mind)…
You bring a smile to my days with your city life photos. Thank you for helping me to feel that some small part of me is still connected to the beautiful cultural mishmash that is Toronto. I miss it a lot.

Yes, Laura, that is good advice. And I’ll go it one further, I just need to stfu sometimes. But it’s hard-people love to hear gossip. And I’ll never save the drama for my mama, I like to spread love.

;)

If I may put my advice cap on for a momento…
Someone once helped me to get out more when I was in a rough place by suggesting that when faced with an uncomfortable or unanswerable question I should give a one word answer such as “great” or “good” or whatever and then immediately begin asking questions about THAT persons life. Because people LOVE to talk about themselves and they love someone to listen. So, if you pursue an active interest in their life they will soon drop their thoughts on whatever you are having trouble answering.
It actually worked. It was kind of funny in a social experiment kind of way too.

Have fun with your quilt!

p.s. I’m always up for more lunch dates.
