For example, it really serves well as an abbreviated version of the serenity prayer, or "not my circus, not my monkeys.

"Prison Orange is not your color, Prison Orange is not your color!" ;-) No really, I deal with most people / drama this way: "We met for a reason... either your a blessing or a lesson." Sometimes it takes a long time to figure that one out, others pretty quick! My husband's is "I wish common sense was more common", said while shaking his head in despair.

I say it a lot - especially in response to drama. Thankfully I am now old enough to realize that I can't fix everything for everyone. Even though I need a reminder every now and then.

As a person who wants to "fix" everything, this often creates needless frustration. Continuing with the 12-Step theme, and my own personal addiction, "just do the next right thing" is another very helpful mantra when tempting thoughts try to make a nest in my head.Marcia Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753444120349645706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-19215962702043380672016-06-28T08:01:07.007-04:002016-06-28T08:01:07.007-04:00This is wonderful and adding the butterfly was gen...This is wonderful and adding the butterfly was genius!Karen (TLgirl353)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17592479435971308396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-76449842687503788472016-06-28T00:15:45.297-04:002016-06-28T00:15:45.297-04:00Love the whimsy.
