CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET

Once in awhile, it is a good idea to clean out your closet.  No not the closets in your house the closet in your head.  I have a very bad habit of being the "nice gal" who lets people get away with saying or doing things which are negative towards me.  I usually walk away or feel hurt but don't say a word.  The last several weeks that hasn't been the case.  I call them on it, tell them I don't appreciate being talked to that way or  my favorite one is "you obviously haven't learned the Golden Rule".  This week the old Wildermuth temper exploded.  (To be of  Wildermuth descendant is empowering. We are  from Prussian/German blood and when push comes to shove we are scrappers. I've traced that line of my family back to the 1500s and not one Wildermuth ever turned away from a battle. They always stood up for what is right.) When I pop my cork everyone better be out of the way.  I've been told that my eyes blaze with white anger....I kind of  like that expression. Can't you just see the smoke pouring from my ears forming little grey ringlets around my earrings?  So far, my closet cleaning has been quite productive.  But I'm not done yet.  Most importantly, I feel empowered again.  I'm back to being ME.  I only have one life that God gave me and damn it I'm making the most of it. Treat me like you would like yourself to be treated.  If not, don't complain when I boil over and you are the one that gets scalded.    I'm a nice gal, I'm unique and I'm back!
