Watch My Mouth

So, we are back in Inservice Mode. It has been so great to have these virtual reunions with my beautiful colleagues and friends. Having been by myself for the most part during this Quarantine (and Luna being my primary company), I find myself wanting to whine to my colleagues. I realize I must be very careful in what I say and how. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the circumstances. I don’t need to add anything negative to this Bowl of Grog.

I recognize that I am afraid. I want to commiserate with others about how I am feeling. Listen to me! Let me tell you how BAD I HAVE IT…my fear is making me sensitive to things that I might normally just roll with. I have already found people who are irritating the snot out of me. It is most likely NOT the people. It is almost certainly ME…(well, mostly).

I want to be a peaceful place in our community…I don’t want anyone to be repelled by what is coming out of my mouth. I want people to feel comfortable to come and be near me. Let my words be loving, and if they can’t, then silence me. Silence me HARD.
