Blip Abuse

It's not like me to rant or air my dirty linen. It had been my intention to do so today after receiving a particularly vitriolic and nasty series of comments on yesterday's blip. This was made even more painful to take as they were left on my daughter;s birthday portrait. I think I am going to let myself settle a bit before I say too much. I don't like to react in anger or hurt and I also recognise that by devoting too much time to this person's unflattering opinions on my journal, my photography, my family and possibly even to my upbringing I am empowering him in some small way. That said I do think I will come back to it. The thing I have always adored about blip is the kindness and support of this community. In turn I have tried to be that type of blipper as well. What my husband is quick to remind me is that in a year of blipping I have only ever received 4 unkind comments and three of them was from this same blipper. I want to be a glass half full kind of person and appreciate all the lovely messages I received congratulating my lovely daughter on her big day and not focus too much on the nastiness. I am going to try very hard to let this one roll like water of a ducks back. I am a very sensitive person.

I am off now to visit lovely Dotty and Allison. They both have an intuitive way of making me see things clearly. There are a lot of people around here I can count on to brighten my day.

This exceptionally warm and friendly pink cheeked cyclist definitely cheered me up a bit! Even if he was a little bit sweaty.
