Flip The Hate
I tend to dream posts. No, seriously. During that twilight time in the morning when you’re half asleep, half awake? I start writing posts in my head. Mostly crap, but I get a general outline for what I want to say on any given day.
Today, I woke up mad, wanting to talk about two really horrible customer service experiences I had recently. Like, really really bad. I even was going to let you vote which one was worse. Ha. I got so ticked, I woke up enough to shuffle over to my office and groggily lay my hands on the keyboard.
And then I thought, why?
So you all could get pissed off too?
What good would it do any of us?
I am tired of being mad.
So, instead, I am going to remind you of some of the fantastic blogs I have on my bloglist, and encourage you to go check them out today. A flip the hate day. A share the love day.
Also, why don’t you suggest some new blogs I may be missing in that fine list?

Awesome thanks!
And dammit, you should be on this list too. I knew I would forget people!
I walk around talking internally to myself about post ideas…LOL, I now carry a notepad to jot down some of them or they will fly away never to be found again. I am sorry to hear that you woke up angry but I love your “flip” idea!! Thanks for sharing some lovely blogs. I can’t wait to check out some new reads 🙂
Funny – I read a whole chapter last night on anger and how to feel it and deal with it in healthy ways. Well done, girl — acknowledge it, feel it but take action in healthy ways. Flipping the hate does us all good! Oh, and I just discovered Art Slam a week or so ago on my own 😉 !
Sue – send me the name of that book! 😉
way to go, girl.
Like a pancake!
Good for you! Goes along with that saying, “What we focus on we increase.” Better to increase more love in the world 🙂
I can’t believe that you’re including me on such a list! Thanks Greebs…I’m honored.
Also, what if you pitched a new show to HGTV called, “Flip that Hate House”? A combination of anger management and complete residential overhaul? Maybe?
TARA IS A GENIUS!
You’re the sweetest. And on a day I’m particularly sour, a wonderful reminder.
Thank you thank you thank you! Loving all these!
Thanks Greebs.
I cannot wait to go read these, most I’ve never visited before. And my google reader is PACKED. I love more reasons to procrastinate! Thanks!
Besides you, I love Scary Mommy, Uppercase Woman, Her Bad Mother, Redneck Mommy – OMG, there are tons of great blogs. Not enough time in the day.
I do the same thing…writing in my head in the wee small hours of the morning/night. Sad thing is, rarely do they see the light of day, or, keyboard if you will!
So here’s a good newish one: Six in the City http://6inthecity.com
I like to live vicariously through her photos. You might enjoy!
I love Flip the Hate day. Seriously.
Miss you, dude.
I love you and Flip the Hate. Like a pancake, baby. {thanks!xoxo}
Why is it hate posts always seem to write themselves, and pleasant posts are either forgotten or prove hellish to write?
Good call on the flip.
What a great idea! Flip it around! Spread the love, not the hate. Good karma is awesome. (But I’d still like to vote on the two jerks~ lol). Anyway, I love all of the blogs you have listed! Great selection.
Here are a few more that I love:

(had to list mine in there, just cuz 😉
One more thing… I do the sleepblogging too! That’s so funny! And I also have an entire outline ready to go when I finally get to my computer! lol. Cheers to sleepbloggers. Thanks for a great post.
