I feel the need to reframe…

I need the comfort of that balance. I know the crap doesn’t go anywhere, but that’s seldom all there is. I get the exasperated “you’re so positive all the time!” I get the shake of the head “what a pollyanna.” But I’m neither, really. I just like the balance, and usually everyone else is focused on the crap so it’s the good stuff I need to point out. Am willing to point out. When someone’s riding the wave of the good stuff, the crap goes through my mind, but I rarely have the heart to point that out unless I think it serves a purpose. Not when there seems so little happiness to be had. But I’m never turning the picture around; I’m just widening the frame. Nobody wants to hear the entirety of what you think about a thing, but if you whittle it down, they so often whittle you with it. I always find it just a little shocking how quickly I’m stuffed in a box and how determined some can be to keep me there. What box for any of us would not be too small??? Ah just silliness. Just life. Just interaction. I can only do it the way I can do it and let the chips fall. We all have our own brand of weird to hand out like souvenirs. 🙃
