I had a really hard day at work the other day, lots of drama. I am not a drama girl, I like things to just roll along and whatever comes my way I deal with it the best I can and them move on to the next issue or problem. I have a hard time with people that are always looking for something to complain about or the ones that play endless head games with others. I just don't do well with those types...we all have problems but it does no good to make others miserable with complaints and criticisms. When I meet someone like this I try to redirect as much as possible with positive topics, sometimes though it is just not in the cards. Too sad.
So....after a day that I referred to as "one flew over the cuckoos nest", I came home and was welcomed by my awesome dogs who think I am just the best thing in the world, (this may have something to do with the fact that I feed and walk them) lit the fireplace and changed my clothes and was just about to unwind when my phone rang.....(first thought...what did I forget to do at work now?). A person who is connected to a resident where I work called me to tell me I was doing good by her mother and she was grateful. WOW. Those words were so nice to hear, my heart nearly broke in half. It made me feel OK about my work and the way I try to treat others.
Though it is not always possible, and sometimes you may not feel so charitable in life...please try to pay it forward, a kind word can go along way in someones life. Sometimes it is the littlest things that can help a person feel much better.

Sorry to hear about the drama... glad it's over though! You sure do make the Ranch go round... I don't know what they would do with out you. Obviously you have to move on eventually in your life but until then, you are the best they could ever have. It says a whole lot about a person who never gives up... all those years you've been working through drama. I'm thankful for having the chance to be your peer and friend... I can see why your dogs like you (love you)... it's more than food and shelter. :-D
