Lately my mind has been racing with thoughts about this and that and what is wrong-what is right. Do I have the right answer, of course not, because everyone has their own answers and opinions. There is a Navy wife that I used to know in San Diego who just stays home as a wife, and spends time shopping and decorating their home. Yes, I have some opinions about this situation, and about her, but it is none of my business. This woman made it my business by spreading her daily outtings all over facebook, and I could not help but be angered. Not because I am jealous of her life, but because as a military wife, that is the kind of reputation we are trying to get away from. We should not live to satisfy ourselves and our own needs.
It is between her and her husband what she should do as a wife, but bragging about shopping, while your husband is hard at work is just not appropriate! It has been hard for me to ignore this persons posts so I ended up just taking her off of my friends list. I had nothing nice to say to her, because our lives and opinions are so completely different. My mother was in the back of my mind saying "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". There is a fine line that we as women cross, and much of it has to do with getting too involved with others business. Reading posts that angered me just did not seem healthy, so why deal with them!
I am glad that there are other military wives on my friends list who live their lives in appreciation for what their husbands do for this country. I am letting go of this negativity and releasing it to fate, do with it what you wish, just don't bring it back to me!
