There are very few things I loathe in the world, the Pokemon Go game is one of them. I dislike this game because every time, we as a family get in the car to go anywhere my wife turns the game on and catches Pokeballs, or whatever they're called, and then we stop at these marks and she does some other stuff, it's just annoying. I thought the idea behind it was to get people out and active, so why play in the car? Besides it's dangerous.

Now my little sweet pea daughter is crazy about Pokemon. She tells me how she's leveled up her Pokes (or whatever) and all these other statistics about the creatures surrounding the house and inside the house, and in the outside world.

I tell them time and again that I do not know what they're talking about. I don't play those games and honestly, I'm not interested. I refuse to learn it. I mean, I know how Pikachu is, but other than that I am lost and confused in the world of Pokemon and I am okay in this dark place. It's to a point that my almost two-year old is yelling, "Pokemon," and "Pikachu." I mean come on, not you too. I think things can't get worse, but they all love it and I am the odd mom out!

Still, I stand strong in my convictions as to not get involved in this game, I have a hard enough time fitting everything in the 24-hours we are allotted everyday. I will move forward and never fall victim to the Pokemon Go game.

The only good thing that's come from this is that my daughter is exercising her artistic ability and drawing these creatures and doing a very good job at it. I am actually very proud of everything she does, but this drawing makes my heart ache with love and admiration. Really it is the cutest thing! This picture prompted this post.

It is almost metaphorical in nature that I love this picture, but dislike the game. It can be a lesson that there are sweet and loving things that come from not so desirable things and sometimes we are so blinded by how we feel we can't see any of the good in things. We are able to always see the bad and how we feel about certain situations that we just don't take the time to enjoy the silver-lining. This is how I want to live my life, taking the time to appreciate the good that can come out of something I'm unsure of, or too stubborn to learn about. I don't want to be a bitter person, towards Pokemon or life. This picture says it all!

Enjoy!
