Angelstory remember that......An expectation is a premeditated resentment......The higher the expectations, the lower the serenity. I try to keep my boundaries high, my expectations low, and my heart open......When I blame someone else for something, I give up my power to them......I remove the other person’s dignity if I try to make their decisions for them......It is futile to spend time trying to figure out what makes some one else tick......Learn to give from my overflow rather that from my reserve. This is self care, we learn to let go of burdens we were never meant to carry. Learn to ask, “What is the best thing for me?” ......Any time I am in resentment, I am not taking care of myself. I am blaming someone else for something I need to do......Learn to live with the “disease” that comes when you stop something and practice new behavior, the feelings will pass......Anger can be constructive in telling me that someone else is stepping on some boundaries that I need to enforce......The only difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is in how you use them......Only God can turn a mess into a message.

Love and Peace,

Phoenix
