So nice when I see my blog friends placing nicely together on the internet! Seriously, though, I saw your comments at my place the other day and all I can say is, "We're all in this together." I've found most people (like Brandee!) truly are willing to be helpful, and the more you learn, the more you'll be able to help others.<br /><br />Social media presents new challenges to live out the principles of Christ's teachings, and sometimes we get it right and other times we have to practice the art of seeking forgiveness. All of it, though, seems like more opportunity to practice living the gospel, yes?<br /><br />Blessings to you both.Nancyhttp://outofmyallegedmind.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-88248690719166572302011-06-14T08:45:30.088-04:002011-06-14T08:45:30.088-04:00So gland you stopped by, Kristin.

Mariza, A blogger I read posted this on her comment link, "Debate, questions, encouragement, sharing, and friendly banter are all <br />encouraged. Trolling is NOT. Comments deemed offensive to the general <br />readership will not be tolerated." She writes a blog with volatile subject matter and she loves to take a radical position. Then when comments contradict her opinion, she cries and gets offended. REALLY? Anyway, this was the impetus for my post. <br /><br />I can't believe the insensitive things people say. Your girls are gorgeous. I'm glad you can deal with the pinheads.happygirlhttp://beinghappygirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-19042900241695734172011-06-13T16:36:09.718-04:002011-06-13T16:36:09.718-04:00Hi Happygirl,

Do you mean that this hasn't happened to you, you are just speaking for other people who have had a bad experience, correct?<br />I'm currently going through a stage where I think that if someone says hurtful things to me, it is totally about me. But maybe not in the way that some people think. I've been thinking about this A LOT lately. <br />Like for example, we adopted both of our daughters, and a few years ago, when the adoptions were recent, whenever people made a comment like "do you think you love them as much as if they were ACTUALLY yours?" it was so hurtful to me! I would come home and be so mad and complain to my husband. But my husband would say something like "people don't know, don't worry" and he didn't mind. <br />I would come up with all kinds of "come backs" to "get those mean people." and then one day I was asked the same type of question and I felt NOTHING. I actually thought it was funny!<br />How did that happen? I think that maybe it was my confidence I KNEW MY TRUTH. I didn't need to convince anyone that I love my daughters so much. I know my truth and that's it! and that's it with everything. If someone let's say calls me "dumb" I know my truth! I know I'm not dumb, so that insult doesn't affect me.<br />So now, if someone makes a comment and it hurts me or it offends me, I think to myself "OK Mariza, look into yourself and find why it hurts you so much." I don't need to focus on the other person because they really don't matter. They are a person who's just passing by in my life. I'm the one who has to live with myself every day for the rest of my life. <br />I still get mad, it's hard to look inside of me, but I also kind of like it more because I feel more in control. This is totally my own personal opinion, of course. And I might change my mind, because I do change my mind sometimes. ha!Marizahttp://myownversion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-72834649353804240072011-06-13T15:58:42.919-04:002011-06-13T15:58:42.919-04:00oh heck no...people think they can write whatever ...oh heck no...people think they can write whatever they want and there is no accountability when it comes to social media and the web...its cute....not really...rather sad they have to build a persona beca ause they are uncomfortable with their own..brianhttp://www.waystationone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-87879638741573964402011-06-13T15:46:07.609-04:002011-06-13T15:46:07.609-04:00i think there are just a lot of unhappy people out...i think there are just a lot of unhappy people out there and it comes through with all the social interaction we have now days.

Not that I have much of an idea what I'm doing; I just started blogging in Nov. and am still trying to figure things out. I'm on facebook, too, so just send me a friend request. But be sure to attach a msg saying you're happygirl, b/c I don't normally accept friend requests from people I don't know in real life.

But there are many, many good ones out there, I'd like to think I am one of them:) <br />I read your gratitude list and made me smile. Especially about the washer and dryer. After I married, we used a laundromat for 10 years, (had a baby in that time who had to travel there with the laundry baskets.) I've been thanking God ever since for my own washer and dryer and it's been 20 years now. I can't do a load without saying thanks.:)<br />It is very nice to meet you!<br />Kristin<br />www.ponderingsbykris.blogspot.comKristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865699211711235354.post-45437049316425602842011-06-13T12:09:12.996-04:002011-06-13T12:09:12.996-04:00Love this post!!Love this post!!TerrieGhttp://www.terriegalle-findingmyway.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
