I know you don’t know me, and I don’t know you (and I won’t pretend I do just ‘cus I read your blog.), so I’m sure you’ll take this with a grain a salt. but here goes… The Holidays are rough. Especially in our externally lived society where he/she who has the most toys, biggest house,”perfect” mate win. It is especially rough on sensitive souls who lead interior lives such as yourself, meaning you think. What I am getting at is don’t give into the hype. The hype that is designed by an insecure society. You know that there is more to life than all those things and they are what really count. And if you keep on being yourself and believing in yourself you can achieve and find someone to love you. I know this time of year is hard, I recently lost my dad and my job and kinda know how you feel. So remember there’s always the Spring and that this too shall pass….

What you’re feeling is a “useless emotion”; It serves only to facilitate wallowing in past unaccomplishments. Please, please, please stop allowing yourself to wallow. You hurt yourself, and I hate it when people hurt you. You support yourself, you have a passion, you have a family that loves you, you have “darling ones” who rush to your defense and love you unconditionally. You have so much, now look up out of the cavernous pit you’ve imagined yourself in and see it. Then you’ll realize that your life is a whole hell of a lot better than most.

It’s not the “mean-reds”, it’s never been the “mean-reds”; It’s been you doing this to yourself. Go ahead and hate me if you will, but please look into yourself and put a muzzle on that nasty little self-deprecating voice. Humility is a virtue, what you do to yourself sure as hell isn’t.

Also, Mizz Jodi: Have you read this book? You should. I think you'd relate to it, but in your own way. And besides, Shawna's a total goddess and a killer writer.

Dear Miss Jodi,

Me again. I’ve got an even better joke this time:

Q: What’s dumber than a box of hair and misspelled the word “spear” (not, “speak”) in his last joke, so now it doesn’t make any sense and he feels really dopey because he can’t go back and FIX it, so the kids on the playground are going to make fun of him forever?

A: What?

Dear Miss Jodi,

Q: What’s black, white, red, and can’t fit through doors?

A: A nun with a speak in her head!

I hope you feel better soon. I would do the happytime monkey dance for you if I knew it would cheer ya up a bit.

And if I knew just what the happytime monkey dance actually was… 🙂
