My computer's plays up every time I want to add a comment, so I hope you get this. There are 'wet blankets' everywhere! Glad to know that you are going to do what you want to do and let them go on wagging their fingers in a total vacuum.

It's eerie how you have expressed exactly what I'm going through at the moment. Particulalrly the desire to share fresh ideas and the accompanying joy with people you care about and then getting your high spirits crashed by some stupid remarks. Where I am right now, that has a lot to do with the fact that I'm surrounded by people who do not really share the same ideas or interests I have but the alternative would be to become a total recluse which isn't healthy either. So, I distance myself, keep my mouth shut and count the days (10) when I'm back in Miami and reunited with like minded friends. Luckily I can get away and in the meantime, there is always blogit.

I do not tolerate negativeness for it is destructive! Folks don't have to embrace nor do they need to destroy! Nothing good comes of negative but so much gained from being positive regardless the activity or endeavor! sam

We Understand!

You stated: "I know most people mean well (at least I hope they do), but when I'm excited and want to share that excitement with others I hold dear, I don't understand why their first reaction is to rain on my parade?" 

My wife refers to this enigma as "sucking the life out of you". We can relate! But we do not understand. I guess it is the ole 'if I can't be happy then I will drag everyone else down with me, especially someone who is having a great day' type of thing. My wife and I have had this discussion many a late night...lol.

That is a frustrating habit of many. I can't stand it either.

Trouble is love you don't just sit around on your Derry-Ariala

and achieve nothing.You are a very twwlented poet writer editor and etc. and you work hard to succede. People who should love you and encourage you get jelious of your productivity and success. So mostly our success doesn't bring in the finacial gains it deserves. I believe we are exploited at every turn. You are the best just keepon being you our beloved Queen of Blogit. Oh and if it's the BL. who is giving you a tough time .......I am too scared of her to help you.

Some people just can't help it, I guess.
They have taught themselves to be that way and probably don't even realize what they are doing.

Ariala, this so reminds me of this old song ~  

Your peace is shared and now, go forth and claim what you want as yours to aspire/achieve. ~ Elyse
