♫ Confrontation, Pot Roast, and Reincarnation

I havent been able to blog lately, because the stuff that wants to come out-shouldn’t. At least on a profile that is publically read. So…an attempt at an anonymous-feeling blog, without being vague.

Life lesson: "How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours." -Dr. Wayne Dyer

Sometimes, it seems all too easy to get caught up in drama surrounding you. Between social sites like Twitter and Facebook encouraging updates that can be filled with things that call out your inner beast, or one-on-one confrontations, or family upheavals, or just general disagreements…drama is something that surrounds us. Avoiding it is temporary. So…how you react, is something only you can control.

There are two types of people out there, in my opinion. The person that loves confrontation, and the person that despises it. Confrontation can be healthy, if done right. Confrontation is not healthy, when provoked, rather than discussed.

In any argument, there are usually many sides to one story. That’s natural. It’s also very normal to stand your ground, and hold to your side. But how YOU react to their side, is your Karma-your choice. Every argument requires more than one person, and how it goes depends on both parties, not just one.

Sometimes, middle ground is impossible. Sometimes, it’s best to agree to disagree. And let it go. Never bring it up again. Holding a grudge, or storing past anger, is nothing like storing wine. It does not get better as it ages. In fact, it’s more like storing…cheese. A quote from a good friend: Even the safe processed cheese gets moldy after enough time. Eventually, it will start eating at you, and anyone else that you bring it in contact with. Let it go. Clean out your grudge fridge. ;) Mooooooove on.

On a lighter note:

I have a few small points I’d like you to think about:

*Everyone is dyslexic sometimes.
*Stop preparing your reaction to what a person is saying, and take in everything they are saying instead. Example: What are their eyes doing as they are telling you their story?
* Monday night football, is strangely more exciting this year. Go Vikings
* I’m convinced, having a green thumb, has nothing to do with plants. Some people just suck at it, regardless of their thumb color. ;)
* Is anyone else excited about Halloween decorating and Thanksgiving food already?
* Pot Roast also has nothing to with your thumbs.
* You cannot get second hand smoke from Cocaine. Neither can dogs. Experience not necessary.
* Everyone talks to themselves in the grocery aisles. Notice.
* Peace=calmness in your heart, not your brain. No matter how much you convince yourself that “it’s ok”, it’s not, until your soul agrees.
* Knitting, aint just for grandma’s.
* I think somebody came up with the idea of coming back after death as something else (reincarnation), because they’re terrified of death. Want insurance? Heaven is gonna rock. Ask me how.
