Keep Moving Forward.
I like that statement.
Since many of my readers are parents, you’ve probably at some point seen that movie called Meet the Robinsons 
The motto there, is that despite what happens to us, we Keep Moving Forward. It is one of my favourite kids movies, out of Skippy’s collection. There’s a song in there, which is on my ‘most played’ list on iTunes, by Rob Thomas (of Matchbox 20 fame) called “Little Wonders
Which is good, given that after Sunday’s Annoying Debacle, it continued to bother me and sit in my uppermost thoughts for most of yesterday. To the point where I was feeling all that anger and annoyance all over again. Until I decided to Keep Moving Forward.
The process of moving forward has never failed to serve me well. Not dwelling in the past. Not spending countless wasted moments wondering why someone else could be such a freakin’ tosser.
Really. As if I don’t have enough of my own issues to deal with, now I must waste good brain energy on someone elses BS? No thanks.
Time to Keep Moving Forward. There is no point in having toxic people around you. There really isn’t. They do nothing but bring you down to their level, and end up ruining the following 24 hours as well.
I’ve always been good at staying positive, even in the most dire of household disasters (yes like when my Macbook was unceremoniously thrown to the floor by an irate toddler) and staying positive really saved the day in the end. Incidently, does anyone have an experience with companies who offer secure online backup? Because although I do have a back up strategy in place since the new iMac took up residence, I’m toying with the idea of using online backup as an additional layer of safety (and global access) if required. The only draw back of course is the bandwidth required to do an online backup. But anyway, I’m just wondering out loud here.
So, anyway, I’m moving forward, throwing up my hand over my shoulder and letting it go.

Letting go of the negativity is one of the hardest but most vital things to do!
Well done!
It really bothered me that I held onto it for 24 hours longer than I needed to. I kept coming back to all the stupid feelings, until I realised that thinking about it was making me physically sick. In hindsight, far easier to let it go sooner, and save the extra energy!
It’s the old “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” scenario – she’ll only change when it suits her, don’t give her any more head room
Jayne, you’re right. *NO* more headroom wasted on this! Will only spend time with people we actually like, and who are not so high maintenance!
