I'd begun a post tonight intending to rant about my problems: work and life and everything else in between. Then, as I was maybe half-way thru it, I found myself talking to S. She seemed to be a little off today so I asked...and then it all came out..a horror of a story which I will not mention here coz it would be a betrayal of a confidence...But I was astounded to hear of the things she's gone through in her very young life. I'm now looking at her with very new eyes and with a lot more respect.
After that conversation I find myself amazed that I have been messing my head over trivial things like workplace politics, weight gain, and other such incidentals.
So, no more rants. I'm going to log off, put on my Kermit-the-Frog woollen socks, go to bed and hopefully have pleasant dreams. Tomorrow will take care of itself.
