I sit here in my favorite spot on the bed ... lacking the pool of sunshine this morning. My feet are a little cold from being up earlier. Now ... my feet and I are back in bed. Of course it goes without saying ... I miss the sunshine.
Skip and Camie are sleeping ... I will sit here by their sides until they wake up. This is what I do beginning each morning ... I begin my day with Skip and Camie sleeping ... until they wake up ... when they awaken our day becomes ... alive.
At nights I am awake lots of the time while they are sleeping. I am sitting here by their side ... watching over them as I read, write, draw, think ... to entertain myself. I always say this ... I really am their living guardian angel. (I'm no angel because I'm not perfect ... BUT, I am a pretty good guardian angel if I say so myself!)
When Skip falls to sleep ... I always turn the TV off so, I can think, listen, concentrate ... the fan keeps it from being too quiet. I do NOT like total quietness at all. Just like I do NOT like total darkness. At night time give me fans and night lights!
I was thinking about something disturbing. I pay attention to all around ME, to the news, to what I see online. I am a fact-checker, also.
Do you know what is disturbing? How people have changed online, in groups and in social media, real everyday life.
Sometimes, I just sit in silence reading, looking at how people act, react, express themselves online now. I say 'now' because there's been a definite change in people since COVID.
Thank God ... there are many, many good people ... I will say that again ... thank God for many good people because we need them more than ever. It's alarming at the change for the worst in people ... where has just common decency gone to?
So many people don't even bother to hide, disguise their true colors anymore. It used to be it would take 3 months or more to begin picking up on people ... realizing they aren't all as they try to make others think of them.
In one way that's good so time won't be wasted ... in another way it's scary because ... when there's no controlling one's actions ... bad things happen.
It's sad because that means just at least pretending to have good manners, respect ... has flown out the window.
In today's time if someone gets angry they can pull out a gun ... or go into road rage mode ... or make a big spectacle of themselves ... because they aren't happy, because life isn't just about them. They mean to mentally, even physically hurt, injure ... kill others when they lose control.
Filters are gone ... no one cares to talk nice to anyone ... and in groups people are attacked by foul-mouthed people who constantly seem to do their best to start arguments. I'm shocked at how ugly people can be.
Thank God for the many good people I know in real life, online. You see they are guardian angels ... living guardian angels too. They help to pick up pieces of people's lives that others have shattered with their pure ugliness.
You ... I ... we all are living guardian angels because we care about others ... we have real Hearts ... our Life isn't only about us ... we constantly pick up broken pieces of others lives without being aware of it as we live our lives, take care of our own. We put pieces back where they belong so, others can live, get up, go on.
Every little word said ... every little action can mean the world to even strangers. You know how good it feels when someone up out of the blue says, does something good never having to do it.
It can literally mean your whole world ... it can make your day. That's constantly putting pieces of Life's puzzle back together when they fall from someone's life. Good people do this a lot of times never being aware of it ... they simply care.
Let me tell you a little something about mean, ugly people (yes, I know there are even meaner, uglier people there's very little hope for ... I'm not speaking of them). Even mean, ugly people can have a big Heart. Out of the blue I have seen that through time.
We ... in Gloria's Opinion ... need those mean, ugly people to get things done ... (I'm not talking about truly evil people). Mean, ugly people are just tough enough, mean enough to tread where the devil won't tread ... if he does tread ... these people aren't afraid of him. They aren't intimidated in the least. These are what I call the best ... meanest, ugliest people ... and ... I love them.
Mean, ugly people can be guardian angels too! If you needed to be rescued ... they are the ones who run toward you to help ... they aren't afraid to. They are my kind of people, too. I respect, admire them for the good things they are tough enough to do. You might think about this when you judge others. No one is perfect ... especially ME.
