During the Black Friday sales going on last month I bought myself a Kindle Oasis that was originally being sold for a shade less than $350 but I got it for $170. I got to admit it works great and I have been doing quite a bit of reading on it but I still miss holding a book in my hand. It is an adjustment I am still learning to make.
I know that there is a New Year’s thread but it didn’t get a lot of activity since last year at this time so I will post mine here. It has to do with more adjustments I made.
A wise woman in here, wiser than I am in just about everything gave me some very good advice some years back. She told me that I get in trouble because I have a tendency to act like I know what people are thinking. Yes, well ok but even a blind squirrel can find an acorn at times. But I do FULLY understand what she meant. Also, don’t make assumptions about people if they say or do something to you because there may be a reason why it happened that I don’t know about.
Well I did that this year and I didn’t forget that advice. Let’s say a joke was made at my expense. Before I’d get mad and think about it for days. Now I just get up and leave. Or sometimes I am invited to lunch. Sometimes I am not. It’s not something I dwell on anymore. I said to myself why should I think about that stuff? My well being is a lot more important to me and how I make myself feel so I can approach each day with a semblance of a positive attitude. Maybe I don’t do it every day but I did it a lot. That is how I approach everyone and that is in my real life and in here.
