Mean Girls

Ignoring nasty remarks is a best defense. The world has mean girls like Regina George of the film world and and the best way to fend her off is to ignore her. Sure there is a nasty side of life out there and while it has its place, you don't have to let it rule your life. Responding to catty remarks is pointless. In a catty-like manner, simply leap over them and carry on.  The delete key is the best weapon we have for e mail nastiness and using it on unwelcome vituperation saves a whole lot of time. Blocking the sender is also effective in stepping over the ire. If only we had a delete key in life! Having recently been the target of some unkind remarks designed to offend  me, I learned a valuable lesson. The biblical advice "turn the other cheek" didn't make much sense to me, for one sore cheek should be warning enough. After expressing my point to this individual verbally, I walked away and carried on with my life. Immediately, I forgot the snarky remarks and became egrossed with what and who really matters.  Constantly sorting through our ills, is a waste of  precious minutes of our time. Out there, is fresh air and love and hope and beauty. These are what we all want and can find. For sure, speak up, but when the chips fall,  use them for compost or build a nice little fire to warm your hands.
