UNTIL SOMEONE, ANYONE LISTENS!

I am going to assume that one of the hardest things for people to do is keep things to themselves…not me, I can keep a secret and I sure enough know how to be quiet about my own business…in fact many people in my family have gotten mad over the years because I don’t share enough, but one thing I know is that those, ‘Who run tell that…’ are begging for trouble and my thoughts are if you tell all your own business, how the hail, can I trust you with mine,

When I came to my current office ten years ago, there was a woman who started about an hour before everyone else,
If she’d had a good night, all was cool,
But if she hadn’t, she would lie in wait,
And tell anyone who would listen,
Her business, their business, anyone’s business,
People would close their doors and run when they saw her coming,
However, I knew I would have to address it with her,
One morning, I simply told her, ‘Please don’t include me in gossip or anything that is not relevant to me to do my job…’ she was a bit taken aback,
But she respected that and for the next couple years until she left,
We were friendly,

I see it all around me, people seeking validation and needing someone to agree with them,
Co-sign on their madness, so to speak,
So they run here, run there, run everywhere,
Trying to find someone, to say,
‘You are okay’
‘I believe you’
‘I love you’
‘You the bomb’
‘I know that’s right’
Something,
But I am here to tell you that it is not always going to happen,
And that the best kind of validation is validation of self,
Because we will never, never, ever, find anyone,
Who will agree with us on all things,
If they do, look out, they are gaming,
For real,
The harder thing to realize is that if enough people feel the same way,
About how you are doing,
There might,
Just might,
Possibly,
And may be,
Something to it,
But you have to be just a little bit quiet,
And discerning to notice that,
Yes, this is a Mama Deep Ramble for real.
Take from it what you can use,
And the rest toss it over your shoulder,
Maybe,
It will land on someone else!

BE BLESSED!
