A new exercise

I am sure I am the last person on earth to realize this fact but I guess it's better late than never: There are things you can't control and getting upset about them only hurts you.

Therefore I have decided that I am going to jot down the things I know I cannot change --- hopefully doing this will help me to let them go and stop trying to control things out of my power. Here goes:

*M-I-L will always make comments and do things I don't like
*Some people can't separate work and friendship
*Vince can't fix everything just because I don't like it
*I am not the only one involved in deciding what the kiddo does
*Some people do not take their work as seriously as I do - it is okay
*I am not capable of making everyone happy every day - this doesn't make me a bad person.
