There are times when being ignored and disliked is a definite advantage. For instance, I would be really happy to not be so enjoyed by black flies and mosquitoes. This Memorial Day we had a great visit with family in Maine…with one exception, the black flies love me! I become a blood sacrifice! I can still feel the lumps all over me though the itch is mostly gone. The flies leave my husband alone.
Next time I am worried about what people think of me I will remember the black flies.There are times when its okay to be ignored and not liked. Its fine to be on the sidelines and watch others being the center of attention. I’m not equating people and flies, of course. Just saying that some lessons can be learned in unexpected ways.
As I write this we are watching the Bruins and Canucks in the playoffs. I don’t know much abut ice hockey. It is sure a fast paced game! And for me, nerve wracking to watch and yet, intriguing. The announcers get very excited and without them, I wouldn’t know what is going on though I am getting better at following the puck. Unfortunately, the Canucks just won their second game in overtime. The crowd is going wild in Vancouver! This is one of those times when being loved is good. That is, by the Canucks’ fans. We aren’t too happy in Boston. But we still have another chance when they play in Boston. I am not sure I can stand to watch. Boston TV says the Bruins are resilient. I hope so.
