Today is a good day to start really taking control of your thoughts. Pay attention to what thoughts are rolling around in your mind at all times. Start small and just notice for now. That little “gremlin” who resides in your brain has ways of bringing up old subjects at any given time to throw you off you course. You cannot let that happen. Just notice what pops up in your subconscious today and challenge that thought with examples of things that you have done in your lifetime that have been positive and rewarding for you…let’s give it at try shall we?
I feel sometimes like maybe there is something wrong with me. Actually I feel like that a lot lately. I want to know why some people can irritate me to my core and I can shrug off other peoples stupidity.
I am speaking of my recent post about changing the color of my hair. I want to be a little more daring and take some chances. I voice it to my husband who thought it looked cool…got up the courage to speak it out loud (on social media) and then went ahead and did it. Now someone else from my past has jumped on the band wagon and wants the same look…
What is it about this exchange that has me all caught up in the moment. I want to scream at the world over something so stupid that I cannot even control myself.
I have waited a sufficient amount of time before posting this rebuttal and now I feel that I need to press the “publish” button…so there!
BITE ME!
Are you really going to tell me that if you smoke you will get this?
…every bad news story she ever heard ran over and over on the movie screen in her brain. Panic took over…

Let go of your children and watch them grow…
I have seen this from personal experience. The more I would hold on to my son the farther away he became. When I decided to let go and let him make his own decisions (and face the consequences), the more I saw him flourish. He now shows me daily that he can make a decision, stick with it, and succeed. More importantly, he seems to follow his parent’s lead in many ways. I have to say that one of the hardest things I had to do was to see my son drive out of the driveway, on his own, in a car. That was the time that I felt completely out of control. Up until that time I knew where he was and felt in control of the situation. Now I had to admit to myself that I had no control and had to depend on my faith that what I had taught him his whole life would keep him safe…
Life has a way of creeping in when you least expect it. I haven’t been able to post for some time now and admit that I was just plain lazy.

I have so much to say but find it hard to get it down on paper. I have been disappointed, depressed and feeling kind of lost lately. Too many changes can account for that.
Stop giving time to things that no longer exist…
I keep letting myself get distracted from what I want to do. This makes me ask myself…”What is it that I really want to do?”
The answer to this intriguing question will be coming soon, I hope…~dbratt
People…people who need people…are the luckiest people…NOT.
I am on a quest to find a revenue producing venture where I do not have to deal with people.
I find, as I get older, that dealing with people becomes increasingly more difficult because the people I seem to be dealing with are living back in high school.
I don’t understand why some people feel the need to be so angry and self-centered. I think that the word of the day should be “compassion”.
If we all just practiced that word during our daily lives how much better would this world be? I will say, however, it would be kind of boring too…but that is for another day… ~dbratt
