After 31 years I have finally learned, don't look for trouble, or stress or worries or any other word that could fill in that blank. It will find you eventually. No matter how much you try, life isn't perfect. There are ups and downs and sometimes some really way downs. That happens enough on its own. I have finally learned that it is better to just roll with the punches and enjoy the drama/stress/fill in the blank times when you get them because Lordy knows they don't last long enough before something rolls in.
I have also learned that if you limit the people in your life that are what I affectionatly call "stink stirrers" it takes a lot of stress/drama/fill in the blank off of you.
I realize that this is something that I should have learned a long time ago. Let's face it that is a lesson that much like touching the stove to learn it's hot, you must learn on your own and in it's own time.
So very, very true. I'm sure we've all suffered from our own cases of something similar. But once we've figured it out, we surround ourselves with those that love and support us, that bring more joy than they do drama into our lives, and all of a sudden, the world is a much better place because of it!
