It's Going to be Fine..............

This is just me again..........

I have a few thoughts about life.

Ask yourself:

Do I HAVE to?

Do I have to NOW?

If not, then if you really do not have the time, then say, "Nope.  I can't do that."  "I'm sorry -- I don't have the time.".

Does it matter if it gets done?

Does it matter if that spills?

Does it seriously matter?

Is there anything I can do to change this?

If so -- then I will change it.  If not....

Then it's going to be fine.

It's all going to be fine.

Repeat after me, "It's going to be fine.".

Very good!

It's going to be fine.

Slow down.  Walk more slowly.  Talk more slowly.  Think more slowly.  Slow and steady wins the race.

Smile at your family members.

WAIT five seconds before you respond to a loved one who has just said something to you that has immediately gotten you all fired-up and ready to lash-back with a not-so-nice reply.

Chill out.

Take a walk around the block and come back, and things will be better -- or if necessary -- go take a drive in the car and come back in an hour or so and then everything will be better.  If it's not better soon, then it will be better (or at least different) later.

Breathe in -- breathe out.

I think that's all for now.

Best wishes to you in your family relationships!
