This year I have decided that I must not let other people frustrate or disappoint me. I can control that, even if I can't control them. So far, we are on day 5 and I have only been frustrated twice and disappointed once. Doesn't sound like I am going to have a successful year. But, I haven't given up, I will just treat tomorrow like Jan 1 and start over.
I finally figured out that frustration begins with my need for folks to act the way I want them to act. Disappointment comes from people not behaving the way I want them to behave. What is the common denominator here? I want...that makes it all about me, doesn't it? Well, the world is not all about me, so I better get that idea out of my head and move on. Tomorrow is the first day of my new year and I vow to do better in the remaining 360 days.
About Me
- Rosella
- I just love life and everything that goes into it. My church is important to me and my work in the larger church is my delight. My family is my lifeline, especially my precious grandaughters and my new great grandaughter. Well, my kids are right up there, too. I own a business that my daughter and I began over 20 years ago. She left me with it when they moved to New Jersey and it is why I get up every morning. I have been blessed with good health and happiness and enough money to have a pleasant life. God has been good to me.
