I’m okay.

This last week has been very challenging. I work at a dental office, as a front office receptionist, and I experienced several patients that are rude and behave entitled. I have also worked as a pharmacy technician and understand that when people are struggling with pain and illness and need medication they are hurting which may come out as rude and impatient; however, it’s understandable. The pain of cancer or other diseases are challenging. Now, back to the dental office. Mouth pain can change behavior because it can be severe. The patients I interacted with last week were NOT in pain. They were simply demanding feeling entitled and just plain rude. I found myself stepping away and retreating to the building stairwell to take a few minutes of deep breathing and wiping of tears. When I got home I slept deeply because I was physically, mentally and emotionally drained. I spent Friday creating and playing with colors needing a release of these patients negative energy. I use the colors to create a card using the Around the Bend stamp and Cheerful Daisy stamp and die-cut set. While creating I reminded myself that I am okay. The behavior and dark energy belongs to that person. I create brightness, love and positive energy and can let go.
