I started my morning with an email from someone who decided to list every perceived fault they thought I had.
Good morning.
Here's the thing... when people disagree with me I am not usually very happy about it. I'm smart. I'm dedicated. I work towards the good. Eventually, I will listen and either change my mind, move to a place of balance or let it go. I believe in solutions, but I don't love being criticized.
Come on, raise your hand, do you?
That said. If you send me hate mail I'm not going to respond. I am going to really just let it go. It is hurtful and I will assume you are either a crazy person or you didn't mean to be so mean. I will not respond, get into it with you, or waste my time trying to convince you that you were mean.
What I want to do is scream up to the sky and say, "I'm 43 years old, why on earth to people act like they are 4?" Then get back to work.
Ok, there is also the part where I ask myself, "What would President Obama do?" Seriously. I ask myself that all the time, because in my book he is the man. By the way, he would laugh dismissively and move on to bigger things.
How has YOUR day been going?
