Husband, though, when I come up with an idea will tell me all the ways it won't work. Frustrating. And when we are on the freeway, he is certain the car in front of him is purposely slowing down or the guy beside him is purposely speeding up just to annoy him.

At least three or four times a day, arriving back with the kids and shopping, I chased people out of it. I had friendly builders working on the site opposite, they BOUNCED peoples cars out of the spot for me (grin). But every fight drained my soul.<br /><br />The sleepy island I live on is bliss, my blood pressure is way under control now. I think it is so hard to let things go when everyone has to compete for space, it takes the worst out in us.

In that play the roles are all reversed the bad witch is bad because she has had a tough life, etc. When people annoy me I try to say to myself, gee, they must be having a bad day to be so irritable...it does help to view them with more loving eyes and it is amazing how a little love can turn things around.<br />Great to be here.

It's interesting you wrote this, because in Chapter 1, part 2, he writes about your "inner roommate" -- that voice that constantly judges and talks to you. That's who is talking here, and it's not you, but your inner roommate who has judgments about everything. I'll let you know what I find out during my journey through this book. But first of all, he mentions labels, just as your write two posts about it.
