Imagine being South Carolina. You run your state your way and the way your folks want it run and you have coast line to think of and southern heritage.
Now imagine Idaho, which does NOT have coast line or the same heritage, telling the world what is wrong with South Carolina.
South Carolina would laugh it all off and say "Who are YOU, Idaho, to tell US how or what to do?"
THIS WAS VERY VERY HELPFUL!
Today I told H, We had such a great time on Friday and I'm angry with myself that I allowed gossip to ruin it. I allowed the weekend to ruin it. I'm also grateful that you encouraged me to talk to my friends so that they stop coming to me with gossip.
I'm getting better at this. At least now I understand it better. I need to stop beating myself up when I miss out on opportunities to detach.
EX. I received 10 missed calls from H while I was putting the kids to bed. He was worried that I had heard more gossip and was ignoring him. I comforted him by letting him know that I'm ok and that if I hear gossip again, I will be much more mature about it.
I have a feeling I shoulda just said, I was busy with bedtime and left it at that, right?
