Empathy, which literally translates as 'in feeling', is the capability to share and understand another's emotions and feelings. It is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes". I think that this is something that alot of people don't seem to have. Empathy is the ability to feel someone elses emotions. It isn't about you.... I think there are a lot of people that make everything about them and how they feel and how things effect them BUT it isn't always about you and how you feel. Sometimes I would like to just yell "this isn't about you!!" Now if you know me you know that when you tell me about something and I have had soemthing liket hat happen to me I will tell you about my experience BUT never do I make it about me or how something makes me feel I feel what you feel... I think in this country most people have issues with empathy and not having any empathy for other human beings...... Okay a vent about something that has happened and no I won't tell you any details BUT that is my vent for the day....

I think I might be hypersensitive to things that certain people say...

So anyways that is it for now....

I like who I am. I am me :~) seriously I like the person I am... I am a person who gets it done, yes last minute BUT I usually get it done on time not a second to spare (sometimes I am late on birthdays but I try to be on time) but I can usually get it all done with a smile on my face because that is who I am... I am a person who would be almost anything for anyone. I like being that person. I am never rude to people even to people who are rude to me I am still nice and polite to them....
That is part of the problem, that is what I don't like about me, I never stand up for myself. Almost never, there are certain people in my life I will leave nameless (but if you are reading this I am sure you can figure out who I am talking about) who say and do things that are rude and somethings just down right mean... And sometimes it is just a little comment on like facebook BUT I still think it is mean especially when you say things that aren't true and why do you do that? So people think you are someone you are not.. I say just be who you are and own up to it.... I am just me....

Well I am bummed that the governor isn't going with me to deliver meals BUT it is okay because that means today is a free day for me since I was only going to be delivering 5 meals and I had a sub covering my regular route and we don't want to cancel a sub driver so I will just take today off as a personal day so I will get paid, so what is wrong with that? Things could be a lot worse so all is good.. I am a bit bummed about not meeting the Governor and his wife BUT another time no big deal.....

It is the coolest thing ever... tomorrow the Governor of NH is doing my meals-on-wheels route with me... Okay I don't like all this politics BUT he is knowns to be a good person and hell I am just excited to meet him.....
And he is doing this because he wants to there will be no press, no reporters and news crew no-one like that will be around and no he doesn't want to cut the program he just wants to see it in action..
Well I cna't imagine he would cut out meals-on-wheels because it is a great program that helps a lot of people and if he ever wanted to get elected again he won't cut out a program that helps the elderly...
BUT I am so excited that the Governor and his wife will be tagging along with me tomorrow....

Okay I have 2 things to blog about 1 good 1 bad and instead of putting them in 1 blog I am doing them seperate. I will do bad 1st...
I hate cancer, cancer sucks!! No I don't have cancer but my dad died of cancer and some members of Rick's family and some close friends have had family who died of cancer and well it sucks!!
BUT Zachary has a friend who is same age as him (11) who has a 5 year old brother and they mother (who is about the same age as me) a few years ago she was 1st diagnosed with cancer and has since gone through a couple rounds of chemo and radiation and well now there is nothing else they can do BUT as the husband told me all they can do is make memories.... and somehow make it okay for their kids.... that is so sad! The thing is she is one of the bravest people I know because she puts on a smile and goes on and really makes it okay for her kids. You seee her at the school and around town and she never says this sucks (I am sure she thinks it) never says she is too busy never says she doesn't feel good BUT she smiles and says she is fine knowing she isn't fine BUT doesn't complain and really makes it good for her kids... I am sure in private she does complain and stuff BUT out in public she has on a great face...I know that is what you have to do BUT it has got to be so hard knowing that there is nothing besides a cure for cancer that will save you..
BUT her and her husband and kids go on and make the best memories they can now..
So yes cancer sucks!!
