I have continued to think about this issue and I think I’m becoming bitter. There are some issues in my life that have gone on for years and I think that as I finally realize they aren’t going to resolve... I’m kinda getting bitter. That’s not the person I want to be. I wake up every morning with the intention that I will practice gratitude and acceptance... and slowly I roll right back into the bitter thoughts and then I hear myself talk and it’s just pessimistic.
