New Attitude

I am a night person. I often sleep in until noon, after finally nodding off around 5 AM. Today I woke up at 6 AM. I began to read and review. It felt good to get some stuff done so early.

I adjusted my attitude.

My best friend called me yesterday. She went to check on a neighbor she had not seen for a few weeks to be sure she was okay. The neighbor was unkind to her so she called me. If you don't have something nice to say, shut your mouth. That is the way I was trained. Poor thing did nothing wrong. The woman seems to be developing dementia and apparently did not even recognize my friend. The woman lives alone with a family member checking in occasionally. I hope they see her shortcomings and work out something for their loved one to stay safe.

Focusing on one friend has been wonderful. I don't have to worry about late calls at night or other intrusions. My friend does not do crappy stuff like that. Cutting everyone else off is great. My silence speaks volumes.
