I started my day happy, ended it with a sour note...

I am a happy person. I just do not bother much about petty stuffs. I think life is complicated enough to be pin pointing every single small details. So I usually live my life one day at a time, minute after minute, hours after hours, day after day. I started my day pretty happy today. I started my day happy EVERYDAY. Until after dinner, I've encountered certain 'issues' online. Somehow, things doesn't go right today. I hardly have time to go online these days. And when I do, that couple of hours that I have, I spent it blogging and myLotting, nothing much else. But after I've encountered several 'arrows' thrown to my direction today, I've decided, it is better not to go online today. What the heck, I might as well not go online anymore...

Sounds like you had a very bad day! But remember, you won't appreciate the good days you have unless you accept that there are some bad ones that go into the mix. And living one day at a time is great but remember to make plans for your future too! That way you have more to look forward to and be happy about.

Tallygirl, Yes, I've had a very bad day. But that is all gone and forgotten. Today is a new day and after being taking an almost 24 hours time out, I am back and better. I now appreciate the nicer days that I've had. I appreciate the kind myLotters who without fail gave me lots of encouragement and support. I'll definitely hand around myLot more often now. Thank you. :)

No - dont give up! That is so unlike ur "happy person" personality! Do u think u will be happy everytime u think of it? Not at all! Learn from our experience! U cant really walk away from these arrows! U need to re-direct them elsewhere where they should be directed! If u dont u will dwell often on those issues, and they will never leave u till u find a solution! At least that is the way I am. So please dont walk away. Stay. And put up a fight - no reason would be better. Who knows, u might find very good friends out there. :-)

vandana, Thank you very much for your encouragement. After having a thought about it for a day, I am back on my feet and ready to fight! Fight? Fight as in carry on with my life. No point sulking over something petty. I am ready to live my life to the fullest and shield all those arrows away from me. Try as anybody might, I am stronger now.

Goodness, what happened? If people are being "difficult" online or not being nice, just ignore them. I know it's frustrating and can be upsetting even at times depending on the circumstances, but just remember you have many friends. Focus on the good. Best wishes!

Bethany, Somehow, I am indirectly labelled as 'impolite' during chatting online. I don't know, are we impolite if we needed to go off to tend to our 2 year old toddler? After all, being online is just a past time. My function as a mother is to care for my toddler first. If he needed my attention, by all means I'll leave whatever I was doing to be with him, am I correct? But certain parties found it offensive for me to live them idle just like that. Maybe I was at fault for not telling them in advance that I needed to go, but hey, a chat is just a chat.. at least to me..

Hi, I like your encouraging phrase : Turn That Frown Upside Down Out of curiosity, besides myLot, where are you at time when online. Care to share some??? Actually myLot is a very nice place with some very nice myLotters friends, I truly learn a lot here and I am glad being introduced here and discovered such a beautiful world in cyberspace... So, lets us turn TO~~ All the best and happy myLotting!

SomeCowgirl, Thank you so much for your word of comfort. After a day away, I have turned that frown upside down. There are simply too many great myLotters around for me to ditch myLot. I've never made myLot my job. Okay, maybe initially but now I am more cool towards the approach. I am myLotting for the fun of it. If I myLot for the money, I'll go bonkers! :)

Oh, dear friend what happened with you? I read your topic and did not get the idea. however i agree with you. life is too short we should live happily. it happens every where. you start a day happily but the end of the day you felt down. Luckily tomorrow is comming and new day with new happy start, doesn't it? I don't think you will quit from internet for ever but maybe you do need time to adjust. However i wish it will happen just after you read my post. happy mylotting and your life too.

sblossom, I am sorry for my discussion was not too clear. I wrote it as a rant as I was really upset then. Now I am all cooled. I am back to my cheery ol' self. Something someone did really upset me and so happens that person is a myLotter. So I took the opportunity to rant here since that myLotter ranted in myLot too. It is a little bit abusing the myLot system but what the heck, it calls for a good discussion too.. :)

Aw, don't give up coming on here, for every difficult person online there are a hundred more who are intelligent and nice and want to hear what you have to say. Talk to them and know the others aren't worth your time if they are not going to treat you with respect. I love your attitude to be positive and not dwell on the petty, and to take one day at a time - thats the best way to live so don't let people bring you down. xx

ENglish TeaDuck, Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement. I've taken a day off to ponder on things and are much better now. I see things clearer now and are more focus on the better things in life. If a person wants to judge me, go ahead. As long as I know, I am not what he sees and that there are reasons behind all my actions, I dont think I need to get upset. I've put this past me and am ready to move on in my life. THank you. :)

Dear Submerryn, So sad to hear that those 'arrows' are poison arrows not the 'cupid' ones. Where have this 'arrows' came from? You can share your story here or PM me. As long as you are right and 'not guilty as charged'......just don't bother what they said...is their bow...just remember this phrase: WE CANNOT PLEASED EVERYBODY Do not let anything stop your passsion, or your interest, you must be determine to go for your goal...take charge of your life and live your life to the fullest! All the best, I hope to see the '[b]happy and full of fun Merryn back online'[/b] Happy myLotting!

Hi Iriene, First of all, let me thank you so much for your concern. I appreciate what you have done to make things right. It is just so annoying to be indirectly labelled as impolite for leaving a chat without notice. I am a stay at home mother and I need to care for my 2 year old boy who is getting more and more demanding each day. I rarely get to go online and even if I do, my boy won't leave me alone. Therefor, sometimes, during an online chats, I may cut short the conversation abruptly or just leave without a notice. But certain parties found that to be impolite. What the heck. I am what I am and if they find me impolite, they are all welcome to find new chatters. I am what I am and what am I? A mother first before anything else. :)

Dear submerryn, I am so happy to have you back online 'happy and active'!, I am totally agree with you 'priority first', since you are a mum to a two-year old toddler, your priority is a mum to him! You have make the right decision...keep it up It is okay, once we become parents, we will understand the commitment, priority and responsibility as a parents. When we are single, we do not appreciate what our parents has done for us, but since we are parents now, we understand our parents' love, sacrifice and care for us...right? The same applies here! All the best and do keep in touch!

Hi Merryn, I know I am always the last one here, the one with the last words.. lol.. but i still would like to add something to my dear fren here. Only 4 words, "Dont Worry, Be Happy!" Sounds old fashioned, right? But it is practical, we need not worry about things that are not important to us, we only worry for our love ones and close frens as well. If some others do not appreciate us, find someone else who does. But I m glad to say that I found u, u r one unique lady.. so stay that way, OK? God Bless!!
