Shedding the Twits in Day by Day

It amazes me that the extreme right, instead of being happy with a Trump win, continues to spew ugliness near and far, with wild suppositions and name calling, which might be interesting except they tend to sound like a broken record. Over the weekend, I:

1. Read complaints about criticism of Trump’s son, yet these are the same persons who had nothing but hateful comments about Obama’s daughters.
2. Was shocked that they think Trump’s pussy-grabbing ways are okay but Bill’s penchant for cigars is not.
3. Was amused they criticize Obamacare, yet walk around on knee replacements PAID IN FULL with said help.
4. Was disgusted that they spout that feminism is bad, yet reap its rewards.
5. Read a hypocritical settlement for continuing a loveless marriage in order to stay wealthy yet criticize women trying to make it on their own.
6. Couldn’t believe they think their opinion on the economy is important when they cannot balance a checkbook to save their soul.

They are as hypocritical and thin-skinned as our twitter-addict-in-chief. I just don’t care to interact with any of them from here on out. I know I should be patient and loving and reach out and try to love them, but I just can’t. Their lack of empathy for others turns me off. I don’t want that sort of negativity in my force field. So I’ve chosen to drift away. They are dried up in spirit and a waste of what little time I have on earth. I choose to pour my energy into a more productive approach. That means shedding those I see as Negative Nellies. That will hurt feelings, but it comes down to a choice: my energy or their need to wallow in anger and self-pity.

Moving on today to work on non-profit compliance with the State, pages for the matching funds drive, and finalizing lease renewal, all projects that will result in positive outcomes.

Oh! And I am LOVING the look of the tile I chose for the bathroom remodel! I meant to take before/after pics but I’m strapped for time, so you’ll get the after shots when we’re done.

The January/February edition of the Smithsonian is quite interesting. Does anyone else read it? If so, I’d be interested in your thoughts about the incarceration article.
