Day 22 carrying on - Hmmmmmm!

Lovely four-hour catch up with her friend for Baggy. Grotty Groom rather dominated the conversation interrupted on a regular basis by Hormonal Hannah! She needs to learn to wait her turn. Causing Baggy to cry in public - not cool. After much updating about Baggy's surgery, inevitably when with a fellow horsey person, horsey talk dominated the conversation, especially as both of us have two horses to discuss. Sadly, in the horse world as in any other environment, there are a few rather difficult people and both Baggy and her friend have come up against these types. It made Grotty realise that (for reasons that Clever Bird says that Baggy shouldn't go into in detail), Grotty is not able to fully enjoy being with her horse when she does see him at the moment. The expression "treading on eggshells" comes to mind and between Freda Fretter and Hormonal Hannah the situation is even more difficult on Baggy in her current delicate state.

The conversation made Baggy even more aware of how influential other people can be on a body's well-being, in a positive or negative way. Amazingly positive support from family and Baggy's gorgeous husband. Positive support, as Baggy is receiving from most people, even from people she's never met, just from knowing that they are reading Creative Clara's blog of her life, is amazingly empowering. Positive support from lovely friends like the one Baggy spent hours yacking to today. Positive support from lots of Grotty's fellow liveries, other horse owners and staff at Grotty's yard. Positive support from her Slimming World group. Positive support from family and friends that Baggy might not see often, but "sees" every day on Facebook. In Baggy's case even her furries are helping her positively, all five of them, but especially Wesley, her horse. So much positivity is incredibly uplifting.

But Baggy is a pretty sensitive, very open (as you've gathered) little soul really, even at the best of times. With Freda Fretter and now Hormonal Hannah influencing her, she is feeling even more sensitive than usual. And despite so much good positive energy, a couple of people being difficult and unpleasant has Grotty upset and Baggy crashing down to earth with a bang! But how do you stop that influence having such a huge effect? Especially when Clever Bird is well aware that there are unseen issues having an influence on the other people. How can a relatively tiny piece of unreasonable behaviour and unpleasantness undo so much positivity? Sadly, even Clever Bird doesn't know the answer to this question, but it is so easy to be brought down and that is just a fact.

But dwelling on it is definitely not useful, so as a distraction The Goddess has got embarrassed enough about the amount of dog hair on the rug to drag the vacuum out. Wonders will never cease....
