A review of my recent posts of late has made me frown and contemplate where I'm really at with regard to outlook, general status, etc.
My posts have had a stressed and rather dark feel to them, some of which makes sense, what with the expectations of school and such, but some of which feels a little..not how I really look at the world. I am maddeningly positive, most days, and awaken energized and ready for whatever comes my way each morning. I am blessed with good health, a loving family, much good fortune, and am pursuing a new path that is already proving to be the absolute right one for me. So my grumpy posts? Not really who I am or how I look at the world.
I'm mostly a fix it kind of person. If something is broken, I find a way to repair it. When I looked back at my Thanksgiving post, I realized I was 'observing', but with a decidedly grey filter over things.
I don't want to be that. I can make choices not to be in situations, to provide alternatives to what I believe to be emotionally toxic scenarios, to opt out of known pits of angst.
Moving forward, I have decided to focus on the fix vs focusing on the broken. Recognizing dysfunction is easy, after all.
Choosing to step around it, to address it, or to avoid it entirely? That's what takes finesse.
Warm and supportive thoughts to you,
Stevie
