I do live by one BIG rule; be the positive part. My hope is that all those in my life, be it humans or animals, are better off for having me in their lives. Now that does not always mean that I am nice, far from it, for sometimes being positive means saying the negative for a positive outcome. As I have written in this blog, being "nice" is not a goal of mine at all.
Definition of Nice: adjective, Pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory: "we had a nice time".
Like when you were told to "be nice," as that many times meant "tell a white lie, and don't rock the boat or create conflict with your insistence of speaking your mind." Nope, not shooting for that as I think "nice" has a less than honest and somewhat fake side to it. I'd rather be seen as brutally honest, than "nice." Nice people are boring, and I would rather be offended/offensive than bored.
I should give you my stats: I am a woman, married, early 50s, the mother of two, an immigrant, and a always learning horseback rider. Pippi (Spring Loaded BayBe) was to be Hunter Jumper, but after Pippi bowed a tendon we switched to Dressage.
This blog may also contain some watercolor painting, or other hobbies of mine. I de-stress by being creative.....
