Life is too short...Enjoy the ride.

There are times in life when you come upon a situation that no matter how hard you try to fix it, it just won't fix and quite possibly, the more you try to fix it, the worse it gets.  I had such a moment this morning, because like everyone else, I am human, and sadly I let it affect a good part of my day.

I admit, I am a sensitive human being by nature. I am one of those silly people that actually cares what people think about me and when it isn't in balance with the way I feel about myself, it hurts a bit.  I am not perfect, I am not trying to be perfect.  Over the past few months I have been grown some confidence, but today I let myself down by caving, instead of standing up for myself.  In short, I had a moment of weakness, seen in abundance in my own past.

People will sometimes say things that might hurt you.  A lot of times it is just a misunderstanding and no bad harm is intended.  When this happens, you can do one of two things.  Let it go and say nothing (sometimes the best thing to do is to not engage and take the bait), or you can try to rectify the situation, but don't go overboard, once is enough, maybe an extra reiteration, otherwise let it go.  It's not worth it.  Note:  You can learn from these situations though, so it doesn't happen again. Remember, every situation is an opportunity to learn.

I have a quote I have always liked and the journey this last year, has never made it sound more true, "Life is too short for drama & petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and Live while you're alive...".  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Big sucky things and little sucky things are going to happen in your life. Some situations you can control and the ones you can't, just go with the flow.  I try to teach this to myself everyday and one of these day I know I will catch on.  Some things just aren't worth it.

Until tomorrow...choose your battles wisely, and go in love.  Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, just as you do.  I will try to remember this too.

ps.  Full moon tomorrow, October 27th, so don't turn into a werewolf.  Be kind to each other and speak friendly to one another. <3
