Every day we chose how we are going to respond to the malicious actions of others, the mistakes made by the ignorant, and all those things that are just plain annoying. I have in me the potential to respond in kind to a snarky comment made by my spouse. I am capable of sabotaging others who have wronged me. I could let the anger at others ignorance grow within me.
And in the past I have...sorry about that.
Here is the thing. When I comment back, when i respond to the underhandedness of others, when I let the anger and disappointments of life grow within me I risk losing control of it. If we spend our time dwelling in the "what should have" and the "I am angry" moments of life they start to define us.
So to your sarcastic thank you I say, "your welcome and have a good day". I know i am going to.
Life is to short don't waste it.
