A movie clip

Dear Blog-stalker,
Do you ever have something happen in your life and immediately your brain reminds you of a scene from a movie?  

This happened to me this past week.  

The scene - yours truly was leaving the file room.  My coworker walking towards me would not budge.  It was one of those moments that often happens at our local mall when a group of teenagers (emphasis on teenagers) walk through the mall and they refuse to budge.  You make eye contact and it's a stare down.  They are usually 3- or 4-teens across...like a small gang.

Sooo when this happened to me - with clearly not a teenager - I exited to the right because that's what you do when someone won't budge.  Plus I just don't have the energy to expend anymore.  #noexpectations 

What movie did this remind me of?  Mean Girls.  Ever watch it?  There's a group of, you guessed it, mean girls.  They are high schoolers.  The scene is titled "Meet the Plastics."

My incident was so much like the MG scene that I just went back to my office and looked longingly at the Chain of Hope.  I did not count the clips but I know that every single day the chain is getting shorter and shorter...and soon, very soon, there will be no more clips. 

Every day I have a choice to make.  
Every day I am reminded that I have Resurrection Power flowing through me.
Every day I am reminded that I don't have the stoop low.
Every day I can choose to not respond.

Don't be a mean girl.
Sincerely,
Me
