Choosing


“People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will…”

(lyrics from “Kissing a Fool” by George Michael)

In a message to a friend this morning, I described some part of my extended blood family as a bunch of angry, selfish, greedy, spiteful and prideful people. “Do you think I got enough adjectives in there,” I asked rhetorically. Then I added that the same blood runs in my veins. Having acknowledged this, today I am even more mindful about my own potential to be any and all of that list of adjectives. I also realize that I can choose to be the polar opposite of any of these woeful human traits. May it be so.
