Good afternoon, wow, what a day I’ve had. Never stopped running, had a few extra, not planned places to go and I am down for the count. Pancakes, eggs and/or bacon for dinner, can’t handle anything harder.

Glad your mom is doing okay. Having a large family makes this seem like it happens too often.

I hope tomorrow is calm, need to catch up on some things at home. I just may fall asleep during the game tonight, especially if it’s boring. Hugs and kisses back to you and Poppy.

@kittengirl,

Kitten may this day find you doing well be safe my friend.

Argument

The emotional trigger that begins an argument may have little to do with your present situation, but has dug up a wound.

When we find ourselves in an argument, we may feel like we are losing control of emotions that have taken on lives of their own. When we can become aware that this is happening, taking a deep breath can help us step back from the situation. Once we can separate ourselves from the heat of the moment, we may find that the emotional trigger that began the argument has little to do with the present situation, but may have brought up feelings related to something else entirely. Looking honestly at what caused our reaction allows us to consciously respond more appropriately to the situation and make the best choices.

We can make an agreement with our partners and those closest to us that asking questions can help all of us discover the source of the argument. The shared awareness can result in finding simple solutions to something physical, like low blood sugar or even a hormonal surge. Maybe we are taking ourselves too seriously, and we can just laugh and watch the tension dissolve. We could also discover that perhaps we are addicted to the excitement that drama brings and the chemicals that our body creates when we are angry. But there may be a deeper issue that requires discussion, understanding, and patience. The more we allow ourselves to step back and examine our reasons for arguing, the easier it becomes to allow real feelings to surface and guide us toward solutions that improve our lives.

When we can be clear about our feelings and intentions and communicate them clearly, we have a far better chance of getting what we want than if we lose control or allow our subconscious minds to manipulate the situation. We might take our frustrations out on the people closest to us because we feel safe and comfortable with them, but misplaced anger can cause more harm than good. Arguing for what we truly believe can empower us and help us to direct our passions toward greater life experiences. Truly knowing our reasons for arguing enables us to grow emotionally in ways that will affect our whole being. AMEN!

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Lady I know you have a busy schedule today. I hope everything
turns out fine.

I am alright today but still upset with the death of another cousin. My mother is more calm
today as that was her late sister’s daughter.

Hey good luck with your Hockey Team playing tonight what a day you will be having.
Blowing a gentle hug from Oz to you and Jake’s Canvas.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and enjoy the trails. I hope your husband and son are careful
on that roof. I would keep an eye out.

Taci strange weather is everywhere here in OZ we will rain for the next two days.

I hope you had no Coyote issues during your hike today they are cute from a safe distance.

Happy Trails To You.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I am doing something
special for you and hubby in Club Sheba.

I had a loss in the family and my head has been in a fog. I want to wish you Happy Anniversary.
I wish you and hubby could have been in your favorite place to have dinner. Oodie I think
your husband was just happy to have you there with him. I know you will make this up
when he is home. I know you have been married over 50 years and that is great.
May you have many more anniversaries in the years to come.

Oodie sleep well my friend.

Love you Oodie.

@xango,

Good day in Florida and I hope you are enjoying your beautiful weather.

We are in the 40’s and it will soon start raining here in OZ. I am fine with that.

Did you have any adventures last night. The moon was awesome last night from my
vantage view. I slept really well the moon had a ring of color around it last night.
My sister in Colorado lives in a Condo and she is high up she gets a bullseye view
of the moon that comes through her windows. My sister sits in her chair and just
take it all in.

Be careful if you are having visits from bobcats. What’s for dinner today?
I hope the family in Brazil is having a wonderful day.

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio my friend wishing you a good day.
