she left me speechless

the ardent lies that spewed from her mouth

nothing i could have said

would have changed her perspective

so i saved my breath

& probably my job

some battles are best

when not started

no words

still sending prayers

through the ethers

  1. I wonder if I have that level of self control haha!

    1. Perhaps in a different, non-work, situation I’d have responded differently. Hard to know. I am also learning to ask myself if this is worth the fight or if I just need to let it go. I’d say letting it go can often be the tougher path to take. And yes, sometimes we do need to fight.

      1. Honestly, “is this fight worth it?” Has saved me from a whole lot of battles. So maybe I do have the level of self-control. At the same time, I don’t look down upon people who decide to go for the fight. I think there is a lesson and victory in fighting for what you have on your heart. We may regret it afterwards, but the sun always rises and there will always be new opportunities. 🙂

      2. Yes! Sometimes we do need to stand up & fight. For me, at least in the past, I rarely passed up an invitation to argue… so for me, silence may be a sign of change.
        I don’t believe silence is always the right answer.

      3. It’s not always the right answer but it has surely brought me more peace than fighting has. So I try to choose it

  2. Sometimes we see their journey…and just let them live it. Sometimes we think…there but for the Grace of God…go I. But like all things at least the wisdom or folly gives us its fame…for a little while…so we can remove its price and go beyond it. Your boss appears to still be in a little debt 🤣 Wisely faced…and a great share kind lady 😀❤️🙏

    1. Yes, this can be a hard pill to swallow.
      Oh, this wasn’t my boss, and I can see how it would seem that’s who it was. This was a client/customer. ♥️

  3. Wonderful wisdom. Holding back sometimes is the right thing to do…for your job…your sanity. We have to pick and choose our battles. The right time to fight is when it is worth it overall. People who truly know you, know your heart. They would never believe the lies someone tells because they trust in you and your loyalty, your convictions. Trust me…karma is a bitch.
