Life is an Adventure

My daughter says that my life is an adventure... something that could easily be made into a Best Seller...

I have never thought of my life as an adventure... Things just happen... so I try to deal with things, no matter how difficult...

Today is another one of those difficult days... I am hurt... and I am not in a happy place...

Yesterday, I made a mistake of entering some of my work into the graphic group journal... I never should have done that, because I received harsh comments about my work today from someone in the group... 

I never expected that... After all, we are not experts... We are only learning...

... so I deleted all of my entries in the group journal...

I don't think anyone will notice that my entries are gone, but I will never enter any of my work in there again...

I do not expect everyone to like my designs... It is enough to be humiliated and treated as stupid in the PSP classes in the graphic group. 

Playing with PSP is a good stress relief for me... I have never been taught how to do it, and I don't claim to know what I am doing... I just play with it and hope for the best...

Excuse me while I take that knife out of my back...

So sorry today's entry couldn't have been more cheerful...

Hey girl.  I'm sorry your feelings got hurt.  I know you didn't notice, but a week or so ago I put a tag out there that one of the leaders openly said she did not like.  Guess what...I took it off as well and nobody noticed.  I feel like we are sharing our work out there, not for criticism (constructive or otherwise) but just to share.  If I wanted it critiqued I would send it via email to one of them and ask for that.  Anyway, it is not going to keep me from sharing my work with the others.  
Hugs, Joyce

That's awful.  You're trying and learning she had no right to say anything to you about it.  :-(  I can't stand all high and mighty people.

I visit after ea alert but seldom coment. But wanted you to know how far I think you've come with your psp, I love your tags & feel you're doing a wonderful job. Don't let an insensitive comment from someone hurt you, just remember not everyone will like what we do, I get bad comments too sometimes, but just shrug it off.
Hugs,

Hey Win,

Yes, I definitely agree that your life is an adventure. I know that you've been through some unthinkable and unbelieveable things. And I couldn"t possibly imagine what it's like to be in your shoes. And I don't claim to understand either.

But I do think that some good things have come out from all this mess. For starters you are still alive. And you are still able to walk, although it's painful. That in itself is a blessing. Aside from that you are an independent woman and can take care of yourself. You know how many women I know can't even do that, even though they have jobs and husbands ? If those were to disappear they would be helpless.

From your life experience you are in a position to help many other women. You write this journal for free and it's won awards. Why don't you realize your potential and your strengths and write a book on how you survived all your hardships.

And forget the stupid bitches that criticized your work. Excuse my language but you should tell those hens to take their comments and shove them up their asses because it's all a learning experience. It's not like you guys are curing cancer. Erasing your input was not a good idea, and I hope that you go back up there tomorrow and start adding input again. Forget them.  Start criticizing their work or tell them to keep their comments to themselves.

im so sorry girl. that was just rude and unneccesary for that person to treat you that way, if she didn't like it thats her opinion but thats no reason for her to be hurtful. I like ur work, and I think u should keep doing it but i dont blame u for taking it out of that group, they dont deserve to have ur work there anyway. Ive had to deal with that myself too with my poems and my stories its gonna always be some negative person trying to put u down, but i hope u wont stop adding ur tags in this journal. *hugs*

I saw your wonderful graphic and thought it was fabulous. When  I saw what was written by one of the group owners I was blown away. I truly think that she was jealous...It was and outstanding graphic!  You've have got to post it!

The more I think about the circumstances the angrier I get, so I am going to bow out as well.  You already know I deleted all my graphics from the sharing journal.  The way you were treated in the past 2 classes, the "comment", and thngs said to me by the other group leader makes me wonder if all us newbies are thought of as imbeciles.  Not that if makes a difference, what was said to me and what I've seen with my own 2 eyes is enough for me to act upon.  

I think you are wonderful sweetie, and I wish I could do half of what you do. love ya, hunnie  Bethe

Win love  you are far far to sensitive.  You are good at what you do. you enjoy it that is the most important thing. Maybe someone has critisised you...so what...it is just one persons opinion and we can't all like what everyone else does. I am sure you don't like things some of the others do. You are maybe to polite to critisise them but then some folks like critisism and thrive on it and so actually are happy to have ..so long I hope that it comes with an idea of how to do things better...I occasionally find myself saying something about something but know that I never critisise unless I can add a positive as well.  So come on  re do the tags put them back on and someone dosn't like them boohoo to them  might give them an idea of what they actually don't like..they might never have known if t ehy hadn't seen yours !!  much Love for now  Sybil xx
