Something unexpected.... So today someone who never really cared for me and who gave me a lot of heartache and problems...
told me that they missed me, and that I was a good person, and that I was right about something that no one else thought I was right about. It was pretty amazing, and it made me feel like maybe there is justice in the world somewhere. It was validation. You put good out to the world, no matter how flawed you might be,and good comes back to you. I liked having that reminder today. Has anything like this ever happened to you? How did it make you feel? In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

so you might have been wrong about them not caring for you, you mean? or they finally came to their senses?  | |

Personally I think this person is completely wacko, but it was nice hearing what they had to say and thinking that even for a moment they genuinely felt that maybe they were wrong about me. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Soooo weird you mention this..
I just hung up with the woman that is going to buy a dog crate from me that I listed on Craigslist. She asked why I was selling it and I told her briefly my situation then she asked a few more questions... She is a HUGE dog person that breeds large dogs so we talked about her situation and my situation for 45 mins. We were 2 strangers that were able to support one another about our dog issues. As we hung up she told me that I am doing the right thing about my situation and that she sincerely commends me for being a wonderful human being because she knows most ppl in my situation would take the easy road. It was nice to have someone tell me that I am doing the best thing for the situation that I am in Hugs to Kim for sharing her story and I agree with the person that you spoke with today

And even if the 6 months are hard on him, he'll have you there, and that's what's important. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

It's only happenned a very few times. It's always awkward, embarassing, but certainly always warms me. I've learned to apologize to people as soon as I cool down, and to just be a man about it. Well, if the recipient is still open to the apology anyways 
It really is the mature thing to do, and it really does make people feel better about you. | |

Yeah, the past few days have brought much needed waves of affirmation. I thank God for it.
I've been feeling undervalued lately, fairly universally, and I'd been contemplating changes of scenery. And, last Friday, I went out to lunch with a music artist whose work I have admired for about a decade (and he and I swapped ideas for my development). And at lunch today, surrounded by colleagues in my field, I recounted a recent debacle that they all knew about. And we laughed about it. They chimed in and began talking about similar things had happened to them. And they encouraged me. Later tonight, a friend at church who also had been privy to the incident, encouraged me and told me how proud they were of my handling of the situation. Again, I'm thankful for the revelation God has brought. I'd been feeling fairly low. It wasn't as dark as I'd believed it to be. | |
