Feeling Quiet
Hearing Last Name by Carrie Underwood
Last night I filled out one of those online surveys on myspace. I was honest but at the same time I was in one of those moods. Some of my answers were more blunt than necessary and even bordered on hurtful. For a moment I considered posting it here. My thoughts were than I hadn't posted here in about a week and then everyone would get to read my answers instead of just those on my myspace friends list. I had the page all loaded up and the survey copied to paste in here. Then I stopped. What on earth was I doing? There was absolutely no reason for me to post that here or anywhere else. Sometimes I think too hard on things and it angers me to the point of wanting to say hurtful things. I know I do it because it will get that person's attention but at the same time, it's not the way things need to be said. As a matter of fact, there's really nothing to say anymore in most cases. What has happened is over. Time didn't stand still, life went on. Though I occasionally may get frustrated again over an old situation that creeps back into the foreground, there's no reason to let it push me into being someone I don't want to be. So, I'm rethinking things. Mostly, I'm reconsidering how I want to react when things happen. I called someone a coward earlier this week. Though in many ways I do see him as such, it wasn't necessary to say such a thing and I'm sorry to that person, I'm sure he heard me because I pretty well made sure of it! To those I disagree with; if I walk away please know I'm reevaluating how I'm going to respond to you. It is no longer my goal to be hateful or hurtful. However, it's an old habit that I'm finding very hard to break. Please be patient with me. Thanks!

For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness! I think that it is wonderful that you are trying to control an old habit. Kudos to you!
I found you on the Editor's Pick today as well as my own name there too!
Glad you are rethinking things.
Hugs, Rose -
