I know this is my second entry today, I'm just feeling a little reflective. I've had quite a good day today, Smudge is feeling a lot better. I had lunch with a friend before work and after work I chilled with the boy. Even work was quite good today. Not an awful lot of pressure, just an easy wee night.
It got me to thinking about interactions with other people. How I can't seem to take things at face value and how I need to work on that. For example, if I'm expecting a particular response from someone and they give me a different one, my mind instantly jumps to the worst case scenario. 'Why didn't they say it this way?' My mind goes 'They don't see you the way they say they do' when in real life, they're making a perfectly logic statement or response and for them, it's just a natural reaction. Nothing has changed. Their thoughts and feelings towards me haven't changed. Its me that is taking them the wrong way. A way they weren't intended to be taken.
I'm trying to remind myself of this every day. I feel better today. I only had a little upset (a smidge, really) when I was preparing to go to work. I feel more relaxed tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better, so long as I stay strong and keep reminding myself to just live for today and accept things as they are.
