Ouch! Starbuck, I'm so sorry that person was so mean. It's so hard when you're sailing along minding your own business, your defenses are down and some twerp decides to tromp on you. I know that pang in the gut and wanting to just go hide. I hope how you're feeling dissapates quickly.
One of my favorite movies is the Wizard Of OZ. I use Glenda's line when she's talking to the wicked witch in munchkinland. "Be gone. You have no power here." My counselor even gave me a golden wand. I know it's silly but it helps me put things into perspective. And when I'm not feeling so sweet, I use, "Don't let the f***ers get you down."
I'll be sending good thoughts your way! Annie
