Lynn Toler Instagram – Dude in the red shirt had him hemmed up. Apparently, they could see which way the sportsmanship wind was blowing.
… but he found a way.
I’m not going to say anything about anybody’s parents or upbringing.
It’s a moment in time … and I found it funny.
Just saying. Be slow to judge. Everybody got a boatload of nonsense they’re trying to get through.
For instance, If someone had seen me at 5:46 yesterday evening they would have branded me a whole entire lunatic, and not the half in the bag lunatic status I claim.
I was on one.
But there is no way in the world any who saw me could have known the unique fashion in which my 64 year old knees, a battle over medical records, an ailing family member, and cream sauce (I mean, really, who forgets they’re lactose intolerant?😔) combined to create some of crunch in my countenance … a daub of disquiet in my demeanor … some salt in my spirit.
(And, yes, I know I have a ludicrously juvenile love of alliteration.)
Having realized I was at less than my best, I did a half hour inclined brisk walk on the treadmill this morning. And yes, my knees hurt but I wrapped them up and kept it moving. I’d rather my knees hurt than my mood.Endorphins get me right.
Now I am fit for public consumption!
Being out of sorts is not a license to light up other people. Even if you had a lot of things beyond your control pushing you past your limits, you still have to act like you have some sense when dealing with people who had nothing to do with getting you there.
My situation explains why I wasn’t my best self but I still have to own the fact that that was the case.
Since I’m moody, I have a carefully curated assortment of apologies at the ready. Every year I add more, but have to use them less. Using them is good practice. Not having to do so, however, is growth.
One elevates by degrees.
My attempts at elevation notwithstanding little dude throwing up that finger is still hilarious to me. And I’m not altogether sure I want to get to a place where that isn’t funny. #Humorlessness will have you pointing, judging and in a perpetual position of derision. Who needs that?
Have a great day! I intend to. | Posted on 29/Feb/2024 22:42:03
