Show Me A Shadow- Round 210

[silversaver888]

Have you heard of the poem "Forgiving Fingers"?

I don't exactly remember where I read it. It was sometime ago, perhaps 10 years ago?

It goes like this...

One, Two, Three, Four, Five.. I'm waiting till my anger dies.

Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten... If I'm still mad, I'll count again!

Neat, huh?

Do you know that I say that poem when something gets me so mad at work? Sometimes I have to repeat the poem three times! But it always works for me.

What do you do when you are mad?

I love this concept of shadows here. You @silversaver888 have made me discover another community again 🤣. Maybe, I'd call you my community shadow.

[silversaver888]

Oh good!
How are you today?

[temibot]

I am doing quite fine but tired. How about you?

[silversaver888]

Between the upkeep of my home, a full-time job, commitment to friends and Hive... I'm pretty busy. I go to bed squeezed like a lemon... and I don't dream!

[temibot]

wow, really busy! @silversaver888 It is all well.😁

Hello dear friend @silversaver888 good night
What beautiful shadows you have achieved in this opportunity
I love your way of getting angry
Have a beautiful night

[silversaver888]

Hello @jlufer!!!
I didn't know what shadow to post, and I was thinking,
in the meantime, the shadow of my fingers was staring at me!
So I took a photo of it!
I lucked out!
Have a beautiful night!

[melinda010100]

Great shadow photo! Love that little ditty. I'm trying to remember the last time I was angry. Annoyed, yes. Maybe I don't get angry anymore because I'm retired? Thanks so much for supporting the Shadow Hunters Community!

[silversaver888]

Yay!!! This post generated $70 as of now!!!
Woot, woot!!!!
I am not mad now, hehehe!!!

[kohsamui99]

We all have our ways I walk away take a few deep breaths and come back to try again 😊

[silversaver888]

Sometimes when the person in front of me gets me upset, I try to keep an even look and I stare at the person, not saying anything!!

[kohsamui99]

Haha...you are cheeky girl you got the right idea 🤣🤣

[melinda010100]

That is a huge boost for the SH community! Thank you! And you introduced us to new members, too. Sweet! ♥️🌞♥️🌞♥️🌞

[silversaver888]

Hehehe... Sucess!!!
First time. It's worth it!
Hahaha 🤩😘🤗🤑

[melinda010100]

Think how much LOH would grow if each contest entry set the community as even a 5% beneficiary!

[silversaver888]

You know I've thought of that, but there are seldom posts that make $20. Right now we are encouraging members to VOTE for each other!

[melinda010100]

That's a great way to do it, too. I'll suggest that to the SH community, too.

[elizabethbit]

Hey sis! Generally, I don't really get angry much anymore. Maybe it's because I often deal with people (especially at work) who aren't always reasonable; their day is bad and I might be the lucky soul they choose to take that out on. Being calm has helped me not to get angry. However, every now and again, anger can sneak up on me, just not that often. I've come to realize that anger doesn't serve any purpose, but to stress me out and make me possibly say something that could result in hurting someone, myself, or cause a consequence. It's just not worth it. I'm still working on trying to let things roll off me if I do respond in anger. That's why I am a WIP (Work In Progress)!

I do like your poem, and I can see how it would work. I'll file that away for future reference-just in case!

Much love!🤗😘💖🌸

[silversaver888]

I don't respond in anger... I am used to not reacting (outwardly) when I am mad!
Yeah, I am counting inside,,, hehehe.
Try it!!!
'Hugs and kisses, sis 🤗😘💖

[elizabethbit]

I did actually today when I got a little miffed. It diffused me! Thanks for sharing sis!

[silvertop]

That's a very wise saying @silversaver888, tonights posting has had problems ....
I think I will start counting Lol!!🤣😇

[silversaver888]

Hahaha... 🤣😇
Really? Problems, @silvertop?

[silvertop]

[olami99]

Wow, the shadow was great and amazing, kudos to you

[silversaver888]

Thank you @olami99!

I never get mad.. 😆

Really though, I don't get mad often, but if I feel like I am, I take a walk and focus on the plants and birds and what not. That always seems to help. Maybe I'll try the counting method. Sounds perfect!

[silversaver888]

Hehehe... as the case is, at work I can't leave and walk away. I need to face it head on.
I remain quiet (while I count) with no change in appearance. I have mastered it already. hehehe.
Try it!

[taliakerch]

imagine myself somewhere in the deep forest sitting and meditating:)
or just try to breath....deeply and slow...
and the main - I try to look at me and at the situation like I am NOT inside, but I am just a spectator. And then it looks so stupid if I behave like....if I am just inside and don't control my emotions.
Who is the main here - emotions or me - I ask myself.
Reading psychology books have made influence on me:)

btw when I see your post and photo, the first idea was it's a shadow of a flower:) So your fingers look very nice;)

[isgledysduarte]

It was amazing, I thought it was a knife at first! And then I got it. I didn't know the poem.

Greetings!

[joanstewart]

Nice and easy to remember, never write before you get a grip!
Ten fingers, ten toes should be enough to go around twice.
Happy to learn how you cope, wish I knew this twenty years ago!
Nice reflection, well thought out 😀

[hive-179017]
