Another Promise

I once said that I thought of myself as a network of relationships and that when a friendship died... part of me died. Today I feel far more alive.
From now on when I'm feeling down, I'm going to sit down and think what I should feel. And then convince myself that it is what I am feeling. Others may call it denial and tell me I could become delusional. But at the end of the day life is not the events that hit you but your interpretation of them and that interpretation is a choice. It makes sense to pick the choice that I know is the right one in the deepest recesses of my soul.

So here's another promise I make to myself. Not only will I never say anything genuinely critical about anyone (though I certainly will make fun of them) I will from now on choose the appropriate response to every single thing. Period.

From now on I will do the right thing. Every time.
