Dear Family & Friends
What would you do if you have people who enjoys knocking down others with negative words all the time...be it comparing you to this and that or other malicious ways? Well, it's best to avoid them. If you can't, just let them rattle on and start playing a mental game by counting how many unkind words they spill per minute. Tally it in set of five sticks per bundle. A fun game! If you don't respond, they will soon end the conversation. A Win Win game:)

Perhaps I am guilty of the same from time to time, but I really try my best to dwell on positive things and most of all be an encouragement to others. I do believe that building others up is a very good business investment:)

Today is another beautiful day. We enjoyed this day by sharing an easy meal together. It was so simple and all were full of contentment. Here's our set meal.
 |
| We call this a family party - with ala carte menu:) |
Someone prepared a steamed rice in the rice cooker, with tumeric powder to give it an added aroma and colour! The other one, grilled the sausages which took no time at all. I gathered a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden - wash and chop - viola, the best salad in town! The fourth member of the family unit..went and set the table. She even picked some camomille flowers to grace a recycled vase...after our meal, the camomille bouquet turned into herbal tea drink;P

So there goes another no frill but very enjoyable family time together. I wish that you also have an enjoyable day today just as we did...if not...even better:)
Yours
Very good advice for dealing with negative people. I used to think these types of people had something bad going on in their lives to make them so "mean", but really, some people just are like that. Now I will tally!
ReplyDeleteSue, I hope you won't find many opportunity to play this tally game match. Wishing you a very blessed day:)
DeleteGood advice, Annie. I will definitely stay away or will excuse myself and come back a little while later. I think these are unhappy and insecure people. Pretty chive flower. I like your BBQ set!
ReplyDeleteNancy...life can be interesting and challenging sometimes and we need to be flexible to go through it all. Glad you like the beauty of the chive flower...If you've got some, place a few Chive flowers in a clear bottle and pour some vinegar, it remains pretty to look at, and soon the vinegar will have the chive flavour to it too:)
DeleteYep - silence is like a foot on the oxygen tube of negativity. Also poise...poise is the art of raising one's eyebrows and not the roof ;-)
ReplyDeleteMr. Homemaker, I really like how you translate the situation in a very interesting language...I'll always be reminded of that:) Have a good day - you and your family!
DeleteVery good advice. Usually I would just avoid these people . If can't , then i would ignore
ReplyDeleteI sometimes think they are not aware of what they are doing...perhaps they can't help it, they probably been to tough times themselves. The good thing is, they sometimes make us more enduring and wise;P Have a good day today small kucing:)
