  • Thoughts on a Difficult Day

    Bad day the other day. Many different things culminated to a breaking point. People can and will let you down. I will let people down. The key is how to deal when this happens. Do I fight back? Do become defensive? Or, do I take the criticism apologize and move on? I want attention. This…
