Running, life and haters.

Urban Dictionary why are you so amazing?  When all other dictionaries fail me... you come through!  Here is what I was looking for today.  The word for someone who puts you down, makes you second guess yourself, hurts your feelings and leaves you feeling like crap.

Hater:  A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy, they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesn't really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock someone else down a notch.

as in...
Susan: You know, Kevin from accounting is doing very well. He just bought a house in a very nice part of town.

Jane (hater): If he is doing so well why does he drive that '89 Taurus?
-Dion written on urbandictionary.com

Excuse me Hater?  Yes, I am talking to you. Have you ever considered that Maybe Kevin is happy driving a '89 Taurus?  Have ya thought maybe he enjoys not having a car payment?  Have you considered that maybe he has a party bus at home under a tarp that he was going to invite you on to go on a paid vacation to Las Vegas but now you blew it because you showed your true hater colors and now he doesn't really want to be around you and when your car (that you are probably still paying off) breaks down on the side of the road (let's say it's raining for dramatic purposes) Mr. Kevin will still probably pull over to give you a ride.  '89 Taurus probably isn't looking so bad now is it? 

If I keep writing my thoughts on haters, this post will never end.  So I am going to wrap it up by just saying surround yourself with ONLY PEOPLE THAT FIND JOY IN WATCHING YOU SUCCEED & I... will try to take my own advice.  Sometimes when you change... the hardest part is changing the type of people around you. 

If changing the type of people around you isn't possible than remember

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” -Eleanor Roosevelt


in other words

Life Law #8: We teach people how to treat us.
(thank you dr phil... If you were not around I would actually have to PAY for therapy.  Who can afford that with gas prices the way they are?)
Anyway... I am going to keep eating well, taking care of my babies the best way I know how, be the best wife I can be and some where in there mix in some exercise and hopefully RUN MY FIRST 5K.  Wish me luck or stop snooping on my blog.
