I Stand Accused.

Recently, I was told that I have a bad attitude. One that colors every day of the week except for the two days I spend with myself. Interesting, I must say.

Do I have some negativity? Sure. One that colors every day? Not so much I think. The devil is in the detail. This detail? Apparently it takes twelve or so months for my bad attitude to surface. Or well, one day within a twelve month period.

That’s my take though. I know that I can be negative and I do complain here and there, but mostly, I’m pretty content. I guess that’s not evident.

Apparently, I’m jeopardizing a lot by voicing my opinion. And, I do do that. I abhor inefficiency, ignorant decisions and questionable moves. However, my opinion is not appreciated. Not at all.

I wish, so very much, that I could just keep my mouth shut. Oh, so much. And, that’s exactly what I plan to do. Let ‘em go to jail, be indicted or whatever. I’ll just back the *>#* off.

It’s just so ironic to me. The more I try to “help”, the more I’m accused of having a “bad attitude”. Just need to let go I guess.

I watched the Carol Burnett Reunion show tonight, of course, and it inspired me. There was a snippet – where Eunice was consulting with a Shrink – that rang true to me. Here it is.

When confronted by a foe,
Bless them, praise them,
And let them go.

Touche.

I’ve always loved the Carol Burnett show, but never thought I’d find such wise inspiration amongst the laughter. But I did.

Bless them, praise them,
And, let them go.

Wise words indeed.
