Grandmothers - musings on what I'm missing

Aren't grandmothers supposed to be sweet, supportive, cheerleaders? 


Just sayin. My only grandparent I have left just makes me wonder. It's sort of sad (don't worry, I'm not asking for pity!) because I only see and hear her pulling others down. What's more, is while it doesn't work on me, it does work on others in the family and affects them greatly. But perhaps even sadder (sorry!) is that I've lacked that sweet, jolly, spoil-your-grandchild type of experience that others have had. And I'm her ONLY grandchild. Crazy, huh? 


So if any of you have one of those sweet grandmas who likes to cook for you, calls you just to say hi (not to complain and talk bad about everything and everyone and how awful her life is)...I'd like to rent her for a day or two... can we talk about it? :)


Now, you may think I'm being too hard on my grandmother. I'll just say this...if you do think that - then you don't know her. And that's for the best.


To offset the depressing post - I thought I'd share a bit of wisdom: Your brain is magnetized to whatever your thoughts are. Make them good thoughts, believe you CAN make something happen and you WILL.  Don't just think it - believe it. I'm reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. This is one of his messages. Love the book so far, makes me feel like I really can do anything!


Alright, off I go to call my grandmother, listen to a world of complaining and try not to let her poison my own head. *sigh*
