4/29: goat not gotten

Well, not publically at least. Someone at work did something that was in part a purposeful jab at me. There would have been no way for me to respond that would have been good. So I kept quiet. I did talk it through/out with Chris, and my blood did get a little hot, but in public I've stayed silent and in my heart I'm moving on. And that's a small victory.

... coming to the public library in a god forsaken village and opening the familiar sites I usually go to when I am home, and find that at least some things are the same... reading the mail from my friends encouraging me to stick in here when what I would really like to do is just fall apart... thank you, RR, for your everyday good things...

I'll add my voice, Meri, to those saying "stick in there"!

setting boundaries and following thru...

for you rebecca, it is equally important to say the right thing at the right time as it is to leave something unsaid at a tempting moment, glad you were able to talk it thru in private.

Thanks, Elaine. I think I need to keep working on sensing the right time both for speaking & for staying silent--so I'm especially glad for instances where I seem to have sensed correctly.
