I'm naturally and optimist, but I think it might be to counteract my mother who is naturally a pessimist. Didn't want to be like her in that regard. =) There is always a good side to even the most awful of circumstances. The question is, can we see the awful times as a blessing, so that we realize how truly rich our lives are?Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-12903408495462715432017-04-19T08:36:01.877-04:002017-04-19T08:36:01.877-04:00I hope the neighbour upstairs has transformed from...I hope the neighbour upstairs has transformed from clog hopping beast to twinkle toed fairy.

Once, I was getting ready for work and I put my heels on( that's a thing of the past) , got my purse and walked out and down the stairs to be greeted by my neighbour. He asked me, rudely, if I could put my shoes on when I'm out of the building...using the F word a couple of times. I just told him to chill because " am I supposed to fly around my apartment...take a pill!" After that even whenever I heard him and his girlfriend go at it like a couple of noisy rabbits, I would bang my foot on the floor and tell them to keep quiet. They soon moved out.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-68267388103898255272017-04-14T08:51:03.570-04:002017-04-14T08:51:03.570-04:00I can hear the elephant clopping now...lol.
