OT - NO POLITICS Spring has sprung

The fact that YOU can see that person is masking is an incredible quality. Yet, comes with some burden like you said. (you are a truth-teller, and that can be hard)
Honestly, I worked so many toxic jobs in my past that my body, at 57, is really taking a hit. Gut dysbiosis, inflammatory markers, cortisol level, etc.
You can get out (I know, not ideal). If you stay, you might have to learn to turn away from it, and find a way of allowing yourself to let it go daily so it doesn't hurt your heart of body long term.
Honestly, if I didn't know about it first hand then I'd never have figured it out, so it's really not an incredible quality on my part as much as I would love to take credit for it lol

I can't get out, no chance. I turn away best I can. Yes, I am forced to confront it daily. Often times multiple times throughout the day. As weird as it sounds, I've been trying to think about it deeper when the negativity enters my brain. I can't ignore it, so my philosophy has shifted to becoming ok/accepting/comfortable with the (VERY) uncomfortable. It's been, 7 months of this. I'm still struggling. Mostly I'm fine. Some days it just eats away at me though.

This feels like an awful lot of power to attach to a single human being
 
Ugh I went to put something in my car and slipped on the two steps going into the garage. Landed on my butt, which is now very sore, along with the back of my leg that hit the step, and my left wrist which I used to kind of catch myself. I think I forsee a chiropractor visit tomorrow...

Just got back from a long weekend in Texas. My old college roommate, and one of my best friends, got married and ALL my old high school/college buddies and our spouses showed up. Got to see my mom, my brother and paid a visit to the new Medal of Honor Museum. That’s a must-see if you’re ever in DFW.

Perfect weekend and I still can’t stop smiling. I’m truly lucky to have these guys as my friends after 35+ years. Their wives too!

We all had to pose for a Boys Pic. I’m gonna cherish this one…
