More and more I am beginning to understand the lack of care I give to what others are thinking of me.
I am brash. I am loud. I love to laugh. I am vain. I am toxic to some. Nothing I do will change that. I am mean. Sarcastic. I am proud. I am a work in progress. Warts and all. I learn something new about myself every day.
Today for example. I went to go and get my fresh whole wheat bread for my customer and discovered that an error occurred yesterday. I had asked that my 3 loaves of white bread be cancelled because my customer had come and picked his order up already and would not be needed for today.
The young lady had cancelled my order for the 3 loaves of bread I needed for today.. In times passed I would have gone off about how stupid could someone be, not today. Mistakes happen and my customer does not mind day old bread so why should I get upset? Not going to help any and it is not worth it anyways.
Back to me. And my faults. And learning.
I can apologize when I have to but I will not apologize just because someone thinks that they deserve one.
I am no longer holding onto things. If I am upset or bothered about something I will talk about it. Not allow it to stew and fester.
And I really no longer am worried about what others are thinking of me. It really is none of my business.

I think that’s a great attitude that I need to adopt myself. Nobody is perfect, especially not me, even though I try, lol! As we get used to living this way, I’m learning even more about our relationship and us being this close to each other, tempers flare. I need to be more understanding and less critical, my hubby is more sensitive than me most of the time!!

They are hard steps to take. While I had my whole calm attitude sbout bakery I got super annoyed at a co-worker who tried to chastise me about not saying good morning to someone when I had.

And those are just some of the reasons I’m glad I “retired” early!!

Love it. I used to worry what people thought of me. These days, I just let it go. They’re not worth it.

And they do not know me. They know me based on what I have said, the conclusions they have drawn as well as their own views and can do nothing to change that so why worry or care? Lately I have seen a lot of ‘What other people think of me is none of my business’ I am beginning to take that to heart.

You would be amazed at how powerful the words “Not My Problem” can be…
