Self Control

Why can't people control themselves, their emotions, and their actions? I'm not sure and not one to be preaching because it is a known fact, when life gets rough, I cry :'-(. If someone yells at me, I cry. If something is sad, I cry. If something is happy, I cry. Yes, I need to work on that. Toughen up woman!

I am mostly talking about controlling anger and actions (male & female). Why do people get aggressive and what to argue or get in a fist fight? If someone accidentally bumps into you, does that mean punch them in the face? If someone says something to you that you misunderstand, does that mean you start yelling at them? Even if you are alone and upset, does that mean you can throw a temper tantrum screaming and yelling? Yes, you have a right to be angry. However, anger is no excuse to verbally or physically abuse others (by the way, anger comes from fear). You also have the right to choose how to express our feelings. But please try to find a constructive way to express your feelings.

Oh and one more thing, just because alcohol is involved, this isn't an excuse to say it is ok to do these things. It makes you look bad and makes the people around you uncomfortable. In fact, you need to practice even more self control while you are intoxicated.

Don't worry, self control can be developed and strengthened. You need to be aware of your problem area and take action when things start to get out of control. Think of the good and don't dwell on the bad.

If it were me, I'd blow it off, and have a beer, it's really not that big a deal. Cheers!

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
