Original, that was a really wonderful comment, thank you.
I think this person in particular does not read me, at least not this post, and I do not often read their posts either. But, I often am behind in reading most everyone so that doesn't mean anything. I'm not sure they are familiar with me much, who I am....I don't know. As for the other negativity and trouble, you are right, it's best to avoid and ignore. I tend to want to defend and rescue, which leads me into the Lion's Den. But, I did make a mistake, I just think these sorts of things can be handled without so much hostility and drama. Thanks for being so supportive and lovely.

Temple...anyone who has been reading you throughout these months,
couldn't possibly believe that you would be capable of any hurtful behavior. You are one of the sweetest people here on Blogit...always full of encouragement for those who need it. Some people just like to cause trouble, and those are the ones that to avoid and ignore.~

I'm finding my way.
It's funny, I found it before. Forgot. Thought about it, and realized, I knew the answers. Sometimes we just forget what's good for us and have to regroup. ;) Thanks for stopping by. You're in my thoughts.

Sometimes I am oblivious to the goings on here...
but I think you're a thoughtful and caring person. I haven't been posting much. Working lots of hours, babysitting my niece and nephew, visiting my dad. It takes up lots of time. Well, take care lady. I hope things smooth over

My soul sister, Rachel...
You don't have to come here to find me, love. I'm an email or a phone call away, anytime, any reason. We just have to learn to stay away from what doesn't serve us, what doesn't make us stronger. I'm happy to see you here though. You are one of the bright spots for me here also.

Yup...
The negativity this place can breed has kept me away as of late. I just have too much "real" stuff going on to bother with the petty crap that has become so common here.
Then again, having this place to come to and vent is a safety net of sorts for me. I know I can write pretty much anything and get feedback. Even find support. Or, a soul sister. It's a balance, really. Sometimes I feel I only benefit from Blogit, other times, I feel it's toxic and yucky. It's give and take, like any relationship.
I've gained too much from blogging here to throw it away altogether. YOU are a big part of it, for me.

Tapsel, I saw this on the comment thread and it scared me for a second.
I actually do read you from time to time, I'm sorry I haven't commented. I read very slow, so I read pretty irregularly and have a hard time balancing everything. Sometimes I just try and dash about and read a bit of this and that so I can read something in the little time I have. I promise to comment next time I'm there....but I thought I had before...hmmm. Anyway, thank you for reading and commenting here, today. It's much appreciated. :)

Temple, you have hurt my feelings and harmed my self esteem by never having left a comment (that I can remember) on any of my blogs.
Actually, I'm just kidding. My feeling don't get hurt that easily.

Sweet strat, that was no drivel at all.
It was pure light. Thank you for your very sweet words. Such a lovely sentiment, that's the kind I will take through my day. :) It was also truth, and I liked this part....temporary atmospheric conditions. This is good, that's how I will remember it, and let it fly away like cottonwood bloom. I'm afraid hurting someone else hurts me, too, so....I tend to let it run away with me. I feel all the bad energy here as if it were all in my room. I wouldn't trade the benefits that come with being that kind of person, but, I think I need a manual or something. ;) It was nice to read you here this morning. I hope you are well and that I will see you here again soon.

But thanks anyway, baby. For all of it. You give me courage and light in dark places, thank you. I know my Buddhist ways frustrate you sometimes and you want to stick up for me (or me for myself, but serenity gives what no harsh word can...and no one can threaten me, my core. I just have to stop feeding off that energy. xoxo

Ms N, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were my agent!
Your enthusiasm is catching. :) I'm sorry I don't write more often, but please, read the archives. I don't even care about clicks.....if you want my post (same exact material) off of Blogit you can have the link. Lemme know. This little thing, I'm happy you like it, but I give it a big ole raspberry. (I'm highly critical of my work.) If you'd like a recommendation of one that was well liked that I think you might like, it's called Blessed Be. I can never pick one to recommend, but one of my friends here recommended it to someone else, so I picked it. Alright, now I'm talking to you like you're my agent! Anyway, thank you. And if you choose to read, enjoy.

This place needs a voice of reason,
full of light and warmth, owned by one who lives such a gentle mantra as mean no harm to anyone.
While I have no idea who you may have offended or annoyed -- I tend to be clueless with that sort of thing -- I read enough of you to know you can't possibly mean any offense or disrespect. So consequently, it seems to me that if words were taken the wrong way, that just happens to be the result of temporary atmospheric conditions. And that's just life sometimes. Happens everywhere, all the time.
I know; I know; that was pure drivel, made no sense at all. A simple, "Don't go; you're loved, respected and needed in this place" will do just fine.
Take care!

Yes, honesty can be problematic. I think it's often in knowing how and when to say something. Just because we can say something doesn't mean we should, and when we do, we should choose our words carefully. It doesn't hurt us to be thoughtful or careful. It shows character and strength of spirit. In this particular instance, I was a little tired, a little scrambled, and got my words mixed up. What I don't understand is what happened to....hey, did you mean to say....this? Simple talk, soft voices often finds the path to understanding.

I think you are wonderful, too. ::: hugs back atcha ::: You know, I hadn't heard of Oriah, I just found the quote. But you spoke highly of her, so I looked her up. Really lovely work! Hope all is well with you. I can't seem to read, write, and work at the same time. I'm just excited I'm responding to comments! Be well, lovely and sweet woman. I know you are on a journey and I'm excited for you.

Aw, mystic, what can I say to you?
Thank you for that big squishy hug. (No one saw or will speak of it, it's a pact.) I knew you were one for a good spanking straight away. ;)
Life is unfair, that's true. But when you think of me, don't think that way. The challenge of my mind has nourished my spirit, my soul, my craft. It's not the way I would choose, but then it rarely ever is, is it? Thank you for being such a (everyone close your eyes) sweetheart. Don't feel bad for me, really. I know pure joy in ways many never will in simple daily things....my cat sleeping on his head and snoring, the birds outside of the window, the ocean breeze coming over the harbor, foamy milky tea with honey, warm from the dryer jammies. I'm the blessed one, honestly. Be good, now. ;) And mystic, don't be afraid to let someone see that you aren't all bluster. It's safe here.

SuccessWarrior, you speak the truth.
I think sometimes I let people get to me, and I'm susceptible right now. I agree, there is a lot of inspiration here. I think it's a question of shifting my focus, regrouping. Mind, body, spirit. You may know a thing or two about this, no? ;)

I don't know what to call you anymore. So, beautiful, I think you understand when I say that even in trying my best I feel I could do better too often. Days rich with lessons, are mine. I'm sure you relate, and want to throw things. Just a little. ;) Thanks for the wishes, I wish you speedy recovery, and blessed freedom from all things dark.

A. sounded like you today...you both answer the phone like it's not really an animal hospital, but a secret mission....I told her she was a beautiful bride. :) Besides you know the Aries think has variables, I'm more sensitive than you....you're like this little bitty, bull dog (ahem, counselor). I'll have to tell you the full story (and respond to the respond to the rest of these comments) later....I'm on deadline. Smoooooches. xoxo...w

Listen, Asshole,
You're not going anywhere away from Blogitville if I can help it. You rock. You're loved here and elsewhere. THEREFORE, allow me just to say that you are too strong willed (well, shit, you're an Aries, so go figure) so you throwing in the towel would be like me joining the KKK. K?

If Everyone Would Close Their Eyes, I'd Give You A Big Squishy Hug ...
When I "meet" people such as yourself, I'm reminded of the phrase "quality over quantity." Your support and reprimand means something.
Life is so unfair. That an incredible human being such as yourself has suffered such physical hardship while others willing try to destroy their bodies simply demonstrates the inequities of life. Thanks for watching my back.

Temple,
"An it harm none" is an excellent mantra to use in daily life. Just do the best you can, be yourself, and let things fall into place. Miscommunications have a way of working out without intervention from mere mortals.
Remember that everything happens for a reason. Good luck finding an agent :)
