Had a chance to get out for a short period again today. Just to be able to take a few minutes sometimes (even in the middle of the day) can have an amazing effect on your day. I'm so glad I got this opportunity as later in the day I was presented with dealing with a challenging individual. This was a case where a person decided to stereotype an innocent group of people (including myself) negatively. The individual tried to claim it was done in jest; however there are some lines that just are not to be crossed. Without going into detail - the subject was one of those that jokes should NEVER be made of. But anyway - one of the things I've embraced recently is the ability to not allow the negative people to bring you down. Yes it may hurt or shock initially - but I take a few minutes, think about it, and move on. Most times I don't dignify their ignorance with a reaction or a response. Honestly it is sad that some people are so close minded and ignorant but it's reality. So enjoy these photos from my outing earlier today. And remember - never let anyone else take you out of your mood.
