Walking Away
Its always been true and it's always going to be true that there are some people who won't ever stop being ugly... so I'm working on learning to walk away and stay away. I also like the quote Bless them and Change me because it is so true we can't change anyone but ourselves.
So yes you can and have hurt me... but I'm still getting up one more time than I get knocked down.

That\'s what we keep doing... Feeling knocked down and pulling ourselves back up again. So true that we cannot begin to change others, yet only can be aware of ourselves and our impact on one another.
I\'m SO sorry that you are hurting and feeling this way and hope that continued healing will be yours. Keep rising up once again, Elissa, as that IS all that matters.
Heartfelt hugs,
XO Joanie
I fully agree with you. Walking away and staying away is the only way that I can get peace back Iinto my life. Another quote that I find uplifting, is the serenity prayer.
Oh Elissa. I hear you. It is sometimes hard to walk away but it is the best thing. If we react. they know they have hurt us.
Hang in my dear friend. I too try to live the Serenity Prayer. Lisa even cross stitched a pillow cover for me with the Serenity Prayer on it. I cherish it and I read it often.
Begone ugly people who are out to hurt us!

I agree with you but this last encounter I had with my sister. I didn\'t practice this at all. She was in attack mode and wanted to tell me everything that I have done wrong. Instead of just walking away - I tried to defend myself by saying what she was saying was not true. I guess I will never learn where my sister is involved. She only sees what she wants to. I know I have not always been right either. But I really think I should just forget her. Elissa, take care of yourself and sending you a great big hug. Your friend, Nell
Elissa....I like the thought of walking away AND staying away.
I am beginning to walk away & it feels really good. However I need so much more practice in staying away though. I hope those ugly people stay away from you my dear friend. Hugs.....Vicki
I have learned to do this too Elissa. I am glad I walked away from some of my exes family because of the way they have treated me. I am glad and I am not looking back. Bless you Elissa!!! xoxoxo Connie
I so needed this today. Thank you.
Truth!
Still trying to practice this truth.
Still not always getting it right....but trying.
Thanks for sharing and reminding me that it\'s often best to just keep my mouth shut and walk away. Trying to \"fix\" some things just makes a bigger mess sometimes.
Always, always, always getting up one more time!
Love and hugs~~Teri
I have learned, to try & keep the mean and negative people out of my life. Whatever is going on, just remove yourself from the situation & don\'t look back...
So nice, to see that I am not alone, feeling this way...
