I have come to a conclusion. You can live your life by letting your attitude be affected by others, or you can choose to rise above the situation and make your life better rather than letting their anger become yours. I dealt with a few situations yesterday that left me drained. Not emotionally, but actually physically drained. Too many trips up and down steps. Too many times being pulled in too many directions. Rushing to get too much done in too little time. As a result, I ache all over today. My feet hurt. My ankles hurt. My legs, hips and back hurt. Even the side of my foot hurts. It took me a little while and a lot of peppermint lotion, but I'm up and about and ready to face the day.
I was whining and moaning in my head about wondering if it was a full moon since people everywhere I went yesterday were just downright acting out. Then it hit me. With God's help, I made it through every situation with flying colors. I didn't get mad. I didn't get upset. I didn't get down. I got THROUGH it. I put on my happy face and my big girl panties and I made it through the day.
My daughter-in-law has said it in many ways over the years, but to sum it up she always points out that some people react rather than take action. Well, my day was so full and packed that I didn't have time to react. I had to keep taking action. So thinking about all that this morning, I realize that yesterday was not about everybody being in a mood or having a bad day or bad moment. Yesterday was about me being totally AWESOME in the way I handled it all. LOL. Well, at least that is what I'm telling myself to keep me sane and get me through another day.
Have a happy, blessed Sunday.
