Who Do You Think You Are?

Hey news reporter!  You, Mr. Lou Bloom, over there!! What are your intentions exactly??  What is it that you have against my husband?!

It’s obviously not the time he took Christmas presents to your neighbor’s grandkids because they would have went without that year or the time he risked all he had to save that gal from her abusive boyfriend.  Or not even that time that he cradled that toddler on that dirt driveway and gave him CPR long after he knew he had been given his wings.  Those times were not newsworthy I guess.  Those times don’t matter.

In all honesty, I feel sad for you.  What must it be like to seek out the ugly all the time?  How does one feel after twisting and manipulating situations so that they make good people look bad.  Are you proud of your “accomplishments”?  Is this what you want your children to be surrounded by?  To believe that this world is made up of nothing but evil? 

I was asked if I heard about the #McKinney incident.  No, I hadn’t really.  Not because I do not care but because I refuse to empower those who prey on society with psychological manipulation.  I don’t watch your stories.  I don’t listen to your stories.   If I wanted to be put in a crappy mood, I would put down a tub of Rocky Road, slap on a swimsuit and stand in front of a mirror.  At least with that I would be able to experience those moments of amazing while stuffing my face. 

I will tell you one thing with absolute certainty.  You will not destroy mine or my children’s spirit.  I will protect them from your distorted version of the truth.  If they want to know the truth they will have to seek it themselves.  I know that by giving you my time I only empower you.  My energy and time will be committed to speaking good things about the good people that surround me.  But with all this said…I can’t fix you.  I CAN fix me, however. 

Let me say this to my friends, if you don’t give them your time, then they don’t have anybody to feud with and what is the fun in that?!  We are giving them their power. 

Have you ever been told that you are the company you keep?  You don’t want that kind of company.  Don’t surround yourself with ugly.  Nobody wants to be ugly…

I will challenge myself to refrain from reading/watching your trash and instead seek out uplifting stories and share those.  Maybe over time our friends reputation will be where it deserves to be, right alongside our other local heroes.
