Last night I had two disturbing dreams. One of them involved doing something work wise that was not my job. That one was easy to figure out - it was a hard week, and I felt overwhelmed.
The other one involved a snake. A snake in the grass to be more precise. The snake followed me, got really close to me, and I was shaking with fear that it would bite me. Now, most dream interpreters will tell you that I was dreaming about sex. Nope.
This morning I figured out what this prophetic dream meant. In my email inbox was a personal email accusing me of doing something shady. I'm active in my campground association volunteer committee, and we had a board of directors election this weekend. I was accused of fixing the election.
Now the person who won was NOT the person I voted for, so I guess I didn't do a very good job "fixing the election". I have a feeling that there is a snake on our volunteer committee that has been waiting for a chance to hurt me. And today that snake bit.
Poison spreads, and I know that whoever it is that started this lie is a talker. And folks that don't know any better will assume their lies are true. So I resigned my spot on the volunteer committee that gets stuff done in the Association. With that poison out there I won't be very effective at anything I try to do, so in my case it was simply better to amputate the limb.
I've worked really, really, hard for 2 years to make things better here, and it's hard to hear that people will throw rotten eggs at me when all I've ever tried to do is step up and do what no one else was willing to do.
Beware of the snakes in the grass. They do bite.
