My blog friends

It has been an incredibly bad week at work. Sometimes I let the office politics and the corporate mindset really get to me and this is one of those times. When you think of it, office politics is no different than a bunch of three year olds in a play group fighting over who is the leader and who gets the biggest toy. So why do I let it get me down? Please don't e-mail or call and ask what happened. Hopefully, sharing it here will get it out of my system and I can move on to have a good weekend and go back to work on Monday with a genuine smile on my face. I have enough yard work and housework to do this weekend and that should burn up the anger inside me.

But in the middle of all this turmoil, there is one shining light that has kept me going. Through this blog, I have made some really wonderful friends. Two of them in particular - I'm not going to identify them, so don't ask! - have been a bright spot in my life lately. We have enjoyed e-mails back and forth on mutual interests and values. One sent me a sample of her homemade soap from half way around the world. She had a drawing on her blog among her readers and her grandsons drew names out of a hat. I was one of the lucky winners.

You two know who you are. Thanks so very much for being the sunshine in my life this week.
