Tammy's Bird Brain

Holding out for apologies is an idiotic waste of time.  In most cases the person you are hoping will apologize doesn’t even know you are waiting for one.

In the end you must ask yourself a few questions:

1:  If I don’t get an apology will it really change the way I feel about this person?

2:  If I do get an apology will it really change the way I feel about this person?

3:  If I just forget about the hoped for apology will it help me and the person to be happy?

4:  Do I care about the other person and their happiness?

5:  Can I truly let it go?  Is it that big of a deal?

Stubbornness is not that great of a quality.  It usually leads to unintentional hurt feelings just so that you can be right.  Benevolent, charitable, peacemaker, forgiving, kind, are all qualities I would rather work towards and if I want them I must take the opportunities that come along and practice them.

Happiness is a choice; optimism is a choice, as well as everything else.

Today I choose happiness.
