We are never angry for the reason we think we are

Think about that!  When you think you are irritated about the toilet seat being up, or her bugging you to take the trash out….it really isn’t about those things.  It SEEMS like it is, but it isn’t.  Usually it is because we have let things (feelings) build up inside and that is just the final ’straw.’  We are angry (and hurt, etc.) over the REASON those things are not done, not accomplished and more accurately that we are not HEARD or acknowledged or feel disregarded.  Does that make sense?  I think if you think aobut it it will, and it can sure help us to take a look at our feelings before reacting to some silly things that we THINK we are angry about!  Have a good week!
