Kat was upset with me for something I said or something she inferred from something I said. I didn't respond with as much empathy as I would have liked. Instead, I asked, "Why all the drama?"
I have been thinking about that question since this morning and remembering that I used to have a lot more drama in my own life. Maybe it was circumstance, but I suspect that it was at least partly due to perception. When I was younger I didn't so much create drama in my life; Rather, I looked at life through a dramatic lens.
Over the years I have learned to accept more, resist less and to slow down and breath when I feel myself escalating to the point of crisis. I would like to think that my new "no drama" policy indicates that I am getter wiser. But maybe it just means I don't have the energy I used to.
