Fuzzy >>> fate has this cruel prank it likes to play on me .

I described it to Selfy as the Silver platter...Set it in front of me long enough......Let me study it . See how long it stays shiny and clean ,,, Then wait.

If after awhile that plattter collects dust,,,And you can see it is not silver at all ,,, just shiny paint.

I tend to kick it away. And everything and everyone connected to it . I become extremely hard headed. .

So to get back to the original inquiry.

My thoughts are that yes people make progress,, and then life steps in and our old ways of reacting tend to show through the facade.

I for one would like to further learn better coping skills .. Think before you leap, And how can you offset the big picture and not only see the forest for the trees.
