Letting it Go

I am not going to fight with people that continue to say mean rude things.  The opposition only makes me negative.  I read in an AARP newsletter that Americans live in very different America.  It is sort of like when their are two children in a family and they hold very different views on the family. 

Each person has their own experiences and people are in different stages of their life.  It is alright to be discouraged and be disappointed.  We all grieve over the past when it did not work out to our expectation.  Life is a mixed bag.  It rains on the good and the evil.  I just want to dig around in the back to find the green M&M.  You can keep all that bitter stuff.

Even when people close to you jump to conclusions, and judge, through their own filters, what is the use of fighting, and trying to prove them wrong.  In time to come they may think differently.  Why pour anymore fuel on their fire. 

It is not that I don't care, feel hurt, and disappointment, but those things get in the way of my own life.  At my age the brain may start diminishing, though I fight it all the way.  Why waste precious time and energy remaining upset.  The Bible speaks of taking control of your own thoughts.  I think people often don't know that is an option.

I posted to this blog last night.  I may have been  successful in sending it to Facebook. I am not sure.  I am on the third day of a 3 day vacation from Facebook.  When clearing out a few drafts,  I deleted last night's post.  Believe me it was great.  I am on another topic today.  Let it go.
