Sometimes things happen in our lives that break us or fill us with anger and resentment. I can understand those feelings, however, we mustn’t allow those emotions to swallow us whole. No matter how difficult things are, we need to rise above and rebuild if necessary.
If we let our anger consume us, it does more harm than good. It creates a hateful attitude and we sometimes lash out at others. It’s not our intention, but it happens.
I’ve let anger and other emotions overwhelm me several times in my life. I have great regret over my attitude during those times. Eventually, I came to realize that I was the only one who could make it right. The only one who could create happiness and peace of mind for me, was me.
I’m definitely not perfect and it’s hard to be positive all the time, especially with chronic pain issues, but I do try. I realize that anger does nothing to fix one’s problems…it just brings out the worst in us.

with chronic pain it’s very hard not to lash out. I get that, esp. those that are closest to us. what I have found that helps me is the positive affirmations I speak aloud daily. after a bit it changes the way you think, act etc. doesn’t work for everyone, but helps me.

What amazes me is that you have chronic pain and you still find the humor in things. I applaud you for that! 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗

I do try…and thank you! 😬 I have cried myself to sleep many a time though. It’s rough. 💖

I can’t even imagine. It’s nice that you have your very funny dad and your kitties. I’ve been re-reading some of your Dad’s stuff as I’ve been prepping for the Guest in Jest posts and they crack me up. He must be such a comfort when you are feeling at your lowest.

He can be, yes. But sometimes, he drives me insane. Lol. He’s going to be 82 next month and he’s very forgetful. I just cherish the time I have left with him, regardless. ❤ Thanks for reading all of our silliness!

Of course, and I know my readers will love it, too. Thanks for supplying me with more than one post. I’ve picked two so far…sprinkling them in, rather than back to back.
