Just Venting....

OK, it isn't very often that I need to do this but today I really need to just vent.

Why is it that some people just can not handle that someone else may do well at something? Why can't they just be happy for the person rather than acting like they have no talent, should not pursue something, etc. Especially when they are a family member? Does it really bother that person that much that someone else is developing a talent/interest and they are not? Really? Now that I am trying to develop a certain interest this person suddenly looks into it as well? Acting like he/she is way better at this particular thing? Come off it! Whatever happened to being happy for someone, that they are developing an interest and finding something they enjoy? Where is the support? I usually try to not let this bother me, I try not to choose to be offended. But this time was so in-your-face that it is hard to ignore.

Now that I have vented I feel much better! Now I can move past it. Hopefully it will get better and hopefully I can become more Christ like and not get offended in the future.

On a more positive note......Wasn't today the most gorgeous day. I didn't even need a jacket today at lunch! YEAH! Tomorrow it is supposed to rain but for today....the day the Torch for the Special Olympics made its way through town to City Hall....it was GORGEOUS!
