So today has been wierd. I have had a blow, shock let's say to my extended family. I am not going into details, but it really is quite a surprise.
The thing I want to talk about is family loyalty. Now the people in my story have been very loved and I don't think that it should change. Just because people decide to not be together, that shouldn't mean we can't still love both of them. I am in my later (make it sound like I'm 80) years and I have gotten to know a thing or two about minding my own business and staying as neutral as possible when it comes to family issues. There is the one side of me that is furious, I won't lie about it. But the other part is telling me I don't know the story so I will just shut up and let the chips fall where they may.
Now some of the younger members of the family, who I love with all my heart, are really letting one of the people have it in a way that is almost......chicken shit? If they have something to say, then they should just say it and not where everyone can read or see it. It is hurtful and makes them look bad when I know they are very precious girls.
So here's the thing. How do I stay neutral and still stay loyal? Easy, just let them both know how much they mean to me and how much I love them. I wasn't there when they decided to get together and I shouldn't have to be there when they decide to not be together anymore.
So for all the hurt feeling, mean comments and ugliness there is, let's spread some love and understanding and remember we are family.
I truly do try to love everybody and even if you think I don't, well I really do.


Thoughts for the day:

* Why do we go to the cupboard or fridge 10 times thinking there will be something different than the last time we looked?

* Why is it when I push #1 for English I still can't understand the person on the other end?

Quote of the day:

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
