Anger - A chance to grow

"People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?" - Thích Nhất Hạnh 

Too quick, my emotions overflow before I have time to think.  Pain, betrayal, disappointment often wash over me before I fully process and understand what is happening.  I judge too quickly, then regret my lack of control, my lack of compassion and love for people around me.  Looking inside, I don't like what I see.

Sometimes it just takes going back to the basics.  Breathing.  In.  Out.  In.  Out.

I was angry at you tonight.  I wanted to lash out.  Please forgive me for my angry thoughts.  I still love you as the precious flower you are.  It is my understanding that is lacking.  I will try harder.
