Balancing my "feelings"

This week has been a bit hectic! A trip to the ER with a loved one, multiple fires to put out at work, homework assignments, family responsibilities, and the list goes on. When I can't accomplish all the tasks I "feel" should be completed, I can become easily irritated with myself, the situation, and other people. When irritated, I want to eat wrong, judge others critically, and complain. The reality is, situations, people, or incomplete tasks should not have so much power that it negatively impacts my demeanor and thoughts.  It's a simple decision, be irritated or be appreciative!  I’m choosing appreciation!  (I have to admit, I must stop, breath and pray for my thought process to change! ) When I take the time to appreciate the situation I’m in, my perception becomes different, my speech and my behavior line up and I'm able to step out of my " feelings", embrace the truth, and resolution comes.  I’m definitely a work in progress!!!
