Pulling Back from the Edge

I love how family drama has it's own gravitational pull.  It sucks you into exhausting situations and you're left angry with yourself for wasting so much time and energy on something so trivial.

The trick, I think, is to recognize when you're going down that path and pull back.  Starting now, I'm instituting a moratorium on phone calls and email to reduce the amount of drama in my life.  Drama has never improved the quality of my life, it's only detracted from it.  Failing to participate in it has never really harmed me - I've never looked back and said "You know - I should have called and given her a piece of my mind!"

Life doesn't work that way.

I have some major projects due - I have a lot of personal projects I'm trying to make progress on.  I'm turning off KDRM (Your 24 Drama Station) and resuming the normal broadcasting schedule.
