improve my relationships

So, I’ve been working on two things a bunch. One is not being so reactive. Walk into something, there is a negative tone, don’t reflect it right back, especially when it involves people you love.

The other is, focus on what I have influence over, what I can control, at least to some extent. I think I’m not guilty of expending a lot of energy on what is out of my control, but actually focusing on what needs attention—that is actually something a little different. So far, so good.

I’ve been exposed to a lot of 9-11 anniversary information recently. It reminds me that when it originally happened, I resolved to improve my relationships. Seems like along time to have a goal without really making any progress. My career is really humming along, though. Hmmm.

my new friend, who is staying home with her newly spayed dog. She seem grateful. I think this is something a person who has better relationships than me would do.
