LAY LOW, LET IT GO

I have a few sayings that i like to use,

my favorite being,

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

I learned this one at alanon many years ago.

Made to remind us that

your attitude is up to you.

If I am unhappy, tired, aggravated,

I say aloud,

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

Yesterday while at work,

I hear one of our older teachers

who is coming up to retirement say:

LAY LOW, LET IT GO

Well this one stuck with me and I just know

it will become one of my favorites.

What does this mantra say to me?

I don't have to control issues

and I don't have to be the leader all the time

to make things right.

I can learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes

and let it go.

Especially when it doesn't involve me.

Sometimes I want to be righteous and fix

things that aren't really my business.

Sometimes I get my feelings hurt and can sulk

forgetting that some things are not made to

be taken personal.

If I

LAY LOW AND LET IT GO

I will realize that the world is not out to get me.

If I am truly honest,

I must realize that to the world,

I am not important enough to be out to get me.

So I will now live by this motto

I will be a happier person.

Thanks Debbie for stating this

simple fact.
