Throwing Salt

I'm learning that everyone that's in my space does not always want to see me happy. A situation in my life is growing and changing for the better before my eyes. Something that I hoped for months would happen and wasn't sure if it ever would. What I'm finding is that there are some who are truly happy that I'm happy and am having such a positive turn around in my situation and are rejoicing and celebrating with me, while there are others who are negative and try to plant seeds of doubt and question why I'm feeling the way that I am and actually went as far as to say that they were disappointed that I was allowing this situation to  make me so happy.  People who I might add, I'm very surprised to see have this reaction and I am very disappointed in their reaction. But, as I've reflected over these reactions, I've come to one conclusion, it's all my own fault. I should have been more careful in sharing my joy and should have realized that I couldn't share with everyone, even those who claim to love, like and support me. It's been said over and over again that misery loves company and people who are miserable in their lives want everyone else to join in with them. I've said it once and I will say it again, I have no room in my life for negativity. I want people in my space who have lots of positive energy to spread around and who want to uplift and encourage, not pull down and discourage. Being realistic and walking in your reality is very different from viewing everyone and everything in a negative way. I have no problem with reality, but I do have a problem with people who spread negativity. Let's make a commitment to to be positive, uplift, encourage, and share in each others joy.

As always, peace and blessings blogosphere.
