I am grateful for my life. But I am not grateful just to be grateful. No, what is sort of sick is that I compare my life to others who are making bad bad decisions. And in some cases, making the same bad decisions they made last time and expecting a different outcome. It’s painful to watch. And even more painful if they ask you to participate in their drama. I am so not into drama these days. It’s not worth it. My life is pretty stress free in comparison to others. And I have discovered that I like it that way and work hard to keep it that way!

At some point, I simply “disconnect” from people who just over and over again do the same stupid things or are always having some sort of crisis. When the effort of watching becomes to much - I’m gone. Of course, if I don’t care about them at all, then I watch the whole thing unfold like you rubberneck a car wreck on the side of the highway. You know you shouldn’t watch, but you just can’t help yourself. It’s only painful to watch when I care about the person.

So what does it say about my lack of evolved emotional growth if there is just a tiny little space where I will participate? Hmmm. The thought for the day.
