jjaaam sometimes it is just easier to accept it when first said and then later calmly ask her to explain what she said, I know I say things on the spur of the moment and the way it comes out is not the way it was meant to be said...... I try to not let what others say or do upset me, expecially if there is nothing I can do to change it.

Most of the time when I argue it is ego driven...... my ego in my eyes has been hurt at the instant something happens..... when I calm myself down and slowly say the serentiy prayer I am able to look at what was said or done and see that there is no reason to get upset or nothing to be gained by making a stink over nothing. Yes sometimes my ego gets bruised...... but it always seems to heal a lot quicker when I stay calm and do not make a stink over it.

I need to accept that I am far more sensetive then I should be.
