Sticks and Stones

Wow! Right now I wish I could throw a few sticks and stones at whoever said ‘sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you.’ Lol!

Instead I will remind myself about something I heard a few weeks ago about staying present and not creating a story. When someone throws a cup of water on you, you don’t get pissed or angry or hurt-- you get wet. I have no control over the fact that someone has thrown a cup of water on me. I do have control over how I react. I can look at the facts and see that I’m wet or I can create an elaborate story.

Truth is...I’m creating a story. Sigh!
