Be Free

We are a proud people. We do have
expectations. We get tired of the rat race
and the riff-raff. Ms POA sent me another one of those group hug e-mails today. We have to choose the response carefully. We have to strive to keep balance in my life. We have raw emotions that have been suppressed while I struggle with all this. We can choose to allow her to live the lie. We can choose not to engage or to react. We can delight in knowing that we will not respond. We can hold our breath and wait. We can wait for the "cows to come home" or until we choose to have a different response to any of this. We can admit that we are weary and frustrated. We can embrace the weariness. We can overcome this as easily as we have overcome troubled times in the past. We can laugh at adversity. We can be free. We must be free.
