Don’t reach for anger.
Reach an understanding.
Don’t seek retribution.
Seek conciliation.
Don’t reach for anger.
Reach for peace.
Don’t.
Don’t.
Don’t!!!
This, beloveds, is what I had to tell myself. Twice. First, to a Customer Service Agent who insisted he could do nothing to help me. Second, to the Customer Service Agent’s Supervisor, who initially insisted there was absolutely NOTHING that could be done.

I contemplated.
I counted to 10, in my mind.
I sighed.
Then, I asked, almost calmly, to speak with HER Supervisor.

Miraculously, she found there WAS something that could be done. She did the thing. Things will be fixed in 7 to 10 business days…*sigh*.
Then, I got on with my day. After a ten minute vent…lol.
Let anger be the last thing you think of for your situation. Leave it on the shelf. Anger does nothing but cloud the judgment and get in the way.
I’m trying my best to use productive emotions. I’m not saying we can’t ever get angry. There is plenty to be mad about. The trick is what are we going to DO about things. Anger for angers sake helps nothing.

After putting my mad to work, doing chores, I have forgotten why I was annoyed in the first place…lol.
ticked off productively,

Note: The older I get, the more I understand how much trouble we can allow anger to get us in. I am getting too old for shenanigans.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
