let it go

I fell off the 43Things wagon soon after my previous entry on this topic. In a nutshell, I had an extremely bad day at work, which resulted in my uber-boss giving me all sorts of ‘feedback’ on a variety of topics and my going home early.

I created this goal of ‘let it go’ while I was stewing about it and going over and over and over and over and over it in my head.

Now I’m smiling over the memory of making sugar cookie people with my boy shortly afterwards, icing many of the women to resemble my uber-boss, lining them up in the snow, and watching the squirrels drag them away. I remember a quote from my boy, “Mama! One just took a head!”

Maybe that’s the key, make new memories that when the flashbacks come back about the horrible thing, the new ones can flood in too.

I know the names of the kids who teased me in 1st grade. This is not healthy.

Last week I had a really bad day at work and the uber-boss is not thrilled with me, nor I with her. I can’t go back and change the past, nor would I change very much, acutally. I’ve been snarky about this uber-boss with my friends and family for the last week, not at work. I’ve got to let the snarkiness go, while remembering to watch my back. (Not only watch it, but straighten it)
