Living "Monster-Free?"

Problems. Problems. Problems. We all have them and last week as I was getting frustrated over one and texting a friend an "AH HA" moment ensued. My "AH HA" was thinking about the creation of monsters. Most times when problems arise we are quick to toss blame on a person or entity and although in many cases we don't CREATE the issue, I'm thinking we CAN and DO make the issues worse and that's where the creation of our own monsters takes shape. When I started to analyze the other hiccups in my life with the "Did you create a bit of a monster here, Jennifer"? glasses on...lo and behold, in many instances I did! Bottom line: Consider a problem you have today, consider if in any way, shape or form you are making things worse and then consider getting out that big pink eraser (you remember the ones) and doing away with that dastardly little bugger. Life. Easier when YOU control what you can control, mind your mind and keep the monsters at bay! Happy new week ahead, friends. Make it GRAND! (and oh yea, monster-free!)
