adapt to change

Life is so easy with people that you know and love, but it is not always realistic (nor healthy by golly) to continue to expect that these people will always be in my life.
I am learning to get used to making new friends in my new life and new job.

I had a great day this morning until I left my house… there are so many things – I think that I am learning to become accustomed to. Upon leaving some lady decided to answer her cell phone and stop her car in the MIDDLE of the road. My day started out poorly.
My day at work was great, a number of things were accomplished, I am feeling more relaxed and like I am now able to joke around with coworkers. I feel like I am truly at a place to become a good friend – no longer needy and in chaos and transition.
But my day was sandwiched by two frustrating experiences. On the way home, I was again frustrated about the driving realities. I waited four stoplights to get off of the highway (the exit ramp stoplight is not timed right) and then to add injury to insult, I couldn’t get throug the next two lights, because cars never pulled fully through the intersection before the life turned red! “People ALL I want to do is get home! Please don’t be so STUPID!!!”
I guess, I’m still learning.
Tonight I added “Learn about nonviolence”, my anger is not going to get me through this journey to contentment any more quickly.

I feel like I can’t do this…
And I guess the alternative is to do some serious self-talk to get myself out of this rut. ...of these ruts.
