You know what I’ve learned about internet predators? That they are insufferably BORING! Big time yawning material. I start counting sheep whenever I happen upon some of their dubious drivel.

I probably would have gone into protective hyper mode, like a mother goose gathering her chicks to her, if I’d been on LF when he/she infected this website. Not that anyone on here needs my protection but it’s part of my nature to try to protect others from any type of harm.

They can’t hurt me, offend me, and they certainly don’t terrify me. Hah, as if!

Hey, I’ve had plenty of real life experiences with predators so some slimoid on the internet seeking to cause chaos and self doubts within myself is sooo out of his/her league.

I have emerged victorious, the true winner, from stupid involvements with stupid, toxic people. So there ain’t no way in hell I’m going to let ANY predator affect me or even get near me.

We’re the complex, interesting, compelling people. They are basically trite, banal, and excruciatingly dull.

Ho hum…

I have received your thank you and would like to offer YOU my own thank you very much! The magic of reciprocity! Ta-da!…haha.

I know it’s much more involved that a simple, sincere sign of appreciation, but it’s all I can do sitting in front of a computer monitor.

If whatever I have written touches someone, helps them with their own healing, brings on a smile or some chuckles then I feel as if I have given something back in the process. That’s what matters to me.

You’re such a sweetie. You deserve so much of the good life. Don’t forget it, ya hear?

Hugs

So many people becoming their own authorities. We should do a calendar. Something like “Sayings from Chairman Mao,” but maybe “Sayings from Chairman Me.”

Yes! We are moving in the same direction, on the same page with each other! Isn’t that awesome?

Both of us have been visiting LF for about the same time, but you, doll, have given a tremendous amount of care, time and energy to the sweethearts on here who truly needed a kind hand to hold and a shoulder to cry upon.

I really don’t know where you get the energy, sos all I can say is…YOU ROCK!!…haha.

Oh, and THANK YOU very much, dearest, for sharing your priceless wisdom and sweetness with me!

Big hugs and lotsa love

PS…thnxs for including a star wars reference. you know the nerd in me loves that stuff.

May “the force” be with you, I too, choose to walk toward the light. I think in the past I let things distract me that are really not, in the big scheme of things, important. Learning to focus on the things that ARE important, it makes things much more simple in the end. Much easier to focus on what is right, what is good, and realize that you cannot compromise on some things, and those things are important. The things that are not important are easy to compromise on.

“don’t sweat the small stuff, and keep in mind that it is mostly small stuff.”

Thank you Janie for sharing your wisdom with us. (((hugs))))

With my newly formed confidence, I no longer sweat the little things. I have retained my easy going, sunny disposition whether I’m mingling with folks are chillin in solitude.

I strive to take the long view, that my earthly time is not infinite and that I should appreciate and celebrate every wee minute I’m living.

Yeah, I have days where I’m less than stellar in mood but they are fleeting. I simply cannot suppress my inner joy and serenity for very long. Once you experience it, you don’t want to let it go. It feels too good.

I also don’t envy any person in the world. I have everything I need and want, my simple yet satisfying luxuries, my equanimity, my beloved tranquility. No melodrama, no unnecessary chaos, no involvements with toxic people.

True, I don’t have all the answers and sometimes not even aware of the questions. But they will come, in time if they are imperative to my continuing psychological and spiritual growth.

Just get to know yourself and to believe in yourself. Remove all self-doubts and unhealthy, negative thoughts and ideas most likely created by toxic parents and later people in your lives.

But you know what? I’m grateful for knowing such people in my life. By realizing the darkness, the total harm and suffering perpetrated by people, I most assuredly, emphatically appreciate the light. I can now discern what is harmful to me and what is and can be beneficial.

Why don’t you come on over to my casa and I’ll make you my terrific homemade vegetable soup? So warm and tasty!

And that maniac Jack Frost has made his presence known by slinging some snow showers up here in Idaho. But, it’s cozy and toasty here, in my sanctuary, so no problem.
