Thank you Airwick156 saw this on your profile today

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

YESTERDAY is already a memory. TOMORROW is only a vision. TODAY, well lived, makes EVERY yesterday a memory of happiness and EVERY tomorrow a vision of hope! Don't let ANYTHING get to you today! It's ONLY life..live it like nobody is watching!

Well said.

Thanks! Just had to send that to a great niece who was giving me grief about what a hard life she has had & how her parents did not love her enough. I only hear from my nephew & his daughters when they want something. Way too much drama at my age.

It is so true, I love it.

Wonderful. Thank you.

SharBear 08-19-2011 09:33 AM

Thank you CraftyBear. I was having a little pity party and that was just what the Dr. ordered!

quiltinggirl 08-19-2011 09:37 AM

Nothing wrong with sitting on the pity pot now and then.
The important thing is to not sit on it forever or fall in it.

BellaBoo 08-19-2011 11:26 AM

I have always stayed away or ignored anyone that is negative, hateful, stubborn, or just plain ornery. When I was little I called them 'meanies'. I walk away and usually dismiss them as fast as I can forget them. Relatives included.

dixiebelle162002 08-19-2011 11:31 AM

I sure do need to follow this!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

mhansen6 08-19-2011 12:31 PM

That is a great thought, but what if it is your family that causes all the drama? There is no walking away from that.

raedar63 08-19-2011 01:18 PM

Beautiful inspiration!

Thank you CraftyBear - I really needed that!

celwood 08-20-2011 03:53 AM

Great quote. I have two college age children living with me for the past two years and I am going to put this on our refrigerator. A lot of drama in our house.

I have a MOm who is one for drama. You just ignore, sometimes hard to do but you must for your sanity. I have 3 sisters and we always go home in pairs to help out!!

So happy that you shared!!! You always come up with the best things!!! :thumbup:

Rann 08-20-2011 05:06 AM

Love it. I finally got rid of some "friends" that were dragging me down and I feel so much better.

Rann 08-20-2011 05:08 AM

Now can you tell me what to do about a sister who had rather lie than breathe? Also who would rather steal from you and then forget it?

craftiladi 08-20-2011 05:16 AM

Thanks so much...that's exactly been my thought process for the last 5 years. Life is to darn short to surround yourself with all the negative.

Sallyflymi 08-20-2011 05:21 AM

Thanks crafty. Well said.

J Carol 08-20-2011 05:28 AM

Thank you CraftyBear for the reminder of what life is all about! :P :P :P

SparkMonkey 08-20-2011 05:43 AM

I truly believe in the power of positivity. It can be difficult when you're surrounded by Debbie Downer/Negative Nancy/Suzy Sadpants, but it's also that much more satisfying to maintain a good outlook when everyone is trying to drag you down (intentionally or otherwise). Thanks for the quote!

Jordan 08-20-2011 05:44 AM

Thank you CraftyBear for this message. It hit home way too close. My daughter is going thru some rough times in her life and I think this will open her eyes to go forward. Thank you so much. I am going to insert this little inspirational message in her birthday card.

marymay 08-20-2011 06:00 AM

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

grannypat7925 08-20-2011 06:02 AM

Every word sooo true! Thanks for sharing!

n2stitches 08-20-2011 06:45 AM

I read this too and thought I would post it on my fridge also. Thanks for reminding me. I have a 17 year old daughter who lives with her dad. Nothing but drama, drama, drama. All I can do is pray, pray, pray.

pjnesler 08-20-2011 06:47 AM

Very well said. I'm sure we can all relate.... Thanks and a big HUG!

Phyllis42 08-20-2011 06:53 AM

Thank you. Also posting around the house. This just re-enforces me dropping certain people [thought I was "running away"], which I have always felt guilty about.

quilt crazee 08-20-2011 06:56 AM

yep I need this too!got a dil that ruins alot of things for me.DRAMA - can do w/o! thanks!!

Homespun 08-20-2011 07:09 AM
