What Have I Learnt Last Week? | [Learn & Earn] Initiative - Week 15
Here is my entry for the initiative LEARN & EARN, hosted by @matkodurko
Let's see how this goes. I love this idea. I admit, I have been in a negative spiral. Work environment and various other things take their toll on a person. Sometimes focusing on gratitude is a way to go, sometimes we're so deep that we need another approach. Honestly, to me a good day or successful day is when you learn something.
Monday: I had a great reminder of how wonderful my kids are. My daughter took on of my favorite pictures of her and her brother and had it made into a canvas print. Yeah mushy, mom cried LOL.
Tuesday: That no matter what is going on in life most people around are locked in their little shell and don't care who they hurt.
Wednesday: I remembered why I absolutely love Boston Legal. I'm a huge Shatner fan and have had a crush on James Spader since I was a kid. Going back and catching all the little quips that are in there that you may not necessarily have seen the first time or have forgotten about. They have done little digs at movies they both have been in. Yes, Shatner has a line where he says 'Klingons? Did you say Klingons?' And the best being for their Halloween episode one year they dressed up as flamingos. James Spader leans over 'Did anyone tell you that you look Pretty in Pink?' I love little things like that.
Thursday: My therapist point blank told me that I am as good as I am going to get. I have 'gone too long' without proper help so I have learned some bad habits to cope. That I go through almost every coping skill in my repertoire and still can't get a grip. Also was told by her to quit my job since it is completely toxic to me (husband agrees to a point) And wants me to file for disability. I have a hard time in public and being around people. 30+ years in customer service.
Friday: I lesson I knew but was given a reminder on Tuesday. Hit me even harder on Friday. I was given a guilt try by my employer who is a full month behind in paying. Explained to him that I need to be paid that the stress he's put me under is unbearable. Yet it turned around to be my fault. So again a reminder of why I am 'sick'
Saturday: I set a business into motion that I hope eventually will pan out. I took some of my paintings down to be scanned to digital copies (they came out amazing)
Sunday: I actually opened my store on threadless.com (Purple Cow Visions) Time to take my life into my own hands and stop being everyone's punching bag.
Not too eventful for a week LOL. We'll keep working at it

Britt
LOL thanks @brittandjosie. I think this is why I work to try to be a positive influence to others on Steemit. One of my goals has been just to be open and honest about my 'diseases' 'issues' however one wants to address them. I want to break the stigma. I find that posting about it actually helps. It's not bottled up.
As for @wolfhart he is a goofball LOL. Right now a fuzzy one since some of the hair is coming back. He's a good friend. For being 24 he's very insightful 😝
I know now that 24 year old Goofy with humor is great to have among your friends !
Andi know a few others here who are openabout it and i love that,
Have a great weekend
You too 😊
Me too and you to
Whhhhhhahahahahahahaha
We all want toooo
I don't know if they want too, even if we all want too
😉
Yeahhhhh offcourse they will
Bad days
Let me tell you about a bad two days ...hehehe
Good stuff in your comment
I like the last thing on your list @tryskele 😉 you gonna start your own business.. and I wish that you could create a post of the making of your paintings too.. you know many people succeeded in art posting to grow on steemit😊
I actually had a sale LOL. It was my bestie. She decided to order 2 of the items she really likes so she can show them off and send people to the website. I have posted a few pictures. I haven't until recently painted regularly it's been so far in between. It's mostly just playing around and figuring out which styles I like.
I know art is HUGE on here. I am completely abstract. I reach for a color and go. If I analyze it too much then I end up with a mess. Most of the art I see (thank you @trincowski) is amazing. If I drew, it would look like stick figures LOL.
Let me tell you about a bad two days
Yesterday I ate 2 strings and today they came out tied together !
I SHIT YOU KNOT !
Whhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah Get it ! hahaha
I wish you success in your store .
LOL you goofball. I love it. Once I get a few things 'fixed' then I'll do a post on it.
Though it might give you a smile. : )
That is good new that you opened up a store. One day at a time
Shit..some of the days sound pretty negative..but yeah, you're right woith people being in the shell....but I mean, no wonder, it's kinda what this society teaches us..on the other side, Im wondering how many people are actually REALLY like this...or they just act like it cuz they see it everywhere...buut then, inside they actually know it's bad and they also do care..they've just seen around that not caring is normal..not sure if u understand what I mean haha :D Best of luck with the painting business! :)
I know is sounds pretty negative, I am working on fixing that. Maybe my therapist is right. I do understand what you mean about not caring. Most of the people I work with carry so much inside of them, they truly are bombs ready to blow. They're way of dealing is to degrade another, blame so they don't take responsibility or simply shut down and don't care, because if they do then it's more baggage they take on.
I have spent the last year 're-inventing' myself so to speak. I had lost my dream and my purpose. Now that has changed so I take small steps and try not to let anything that trips me up to set me back. So, first goal is to work on getting the time that I need to do what I want to do. More time for myself, getting back to being more involved with Steemit and getting the business going.
And thank you 😊
Wish u luck with all of it :)) Im also kinda reinventing myself these months haha :D
