Need an attitude adjustment

How do I metaphorically re-oil my feathers? Nothing is rolling off; it's all sticking and pissing me off, and I'm just no fun when I'm like this.

take a step back and walk away from the topic for a while. Politely decline anyone who wants to talk about it.

Throw a mini-party in which you focus on something that you remember and you love. Toast to that ideal, and banish the bad foo.

Move forward, leaving the foo behind like roadkill.

Rinse and repeat.

*HUG*

And since you are the ultimate expert in how to live happily and gracefully amidst the foo - you're really the only one I know who is as successful at it - I think you should teach classes on this regularly. :-) I don't have a bracelet or anything (yet!) but when I'm in a tough situation of this nature I *always* think, "WWRD?" It's never steered me wrong yet...I heart you and you are my hero.

M, just do what he said. ;-)

Not a chance. I live for those moments. ;-)
