"HATE"

SoapBox time...

We all have our own opinions and beliefs. However, I do not believe in allowing anyone to encourage hate using anything I have done or said or shared in order to support and show love to those I care a great deal about!

I refuse to hate anyone or allow hate to be spewed on any of my posts, blogs or tweets. This is what is wrong with social media, those who just want to hate and spread it jump onto shares which were done out of love and support.

I strongly believe and support the right to your own opinion and beliefs, but I do not support the abuse of said opinions. If you don't agree with something, move past it and allow those who agree give their support without your negativity.

Hate is a strong word and strong feeling. It does nothing to help anyone. I will fall back on the saying of my grandmother, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

You have a right to your opinion, but you do not have the right to hurt anyone. So, if you can't have pretty flowers come out of your mouth, keep it shut!

SoapBox finished!

Sleep escapes me

I find myself in a familiar state again. It is late, and I am unable to sleep. I know it is because my mind won't shut down and allow me to sleep. I have to say there are times when I hate when this happens, but then there are other times I realize there is a reason.

Most of the time it is stress or anxiety which causes me to not sleep. Tonight it is, I am sure because I slept for five hours in the afternoon when I returned home from my eye doctor's appointment. I had to rest my eyes after having them dilated, poked and blinded during the appointment. All of which you would think after two + years I would be used to by now.

The reality of it is no matter what the reason is, I am awake when I should be sleeping. I have thought about taking something to assist in getting me to sleep, but then I realize at this time it will only make it harder for me to get up when I need to. So, the Delima is, do I just stay up or try to sleep without the assistance.

I suppose I still have a little time in which to decide before I truly run out of what is left of the night and there is no more choice to be made.
