Listen to the waterfall

Good afternoon .

I had a troubled night last night. Bed at eleven. Still awake at 1am. Sleep for an hour. Awake at 2am. Get up at 3am. Make a drink of hot chocolate. Crank up the computer, sit reading. Back to bed at 3am. Sleep till 7am. 

This was triggered by a phone call I made. It's a long story and I am not going to go into any detail here,  but I thought it was time to get things out in the open. I made the first move. Initially I was shocked at the response I got. I was ready to give up within the first few minutes of the conversation. I stuck with it and let the person rant. I was being accused of something which was not of my making.  

I choose not to argue with people. I listen and process the information. In a calm and collected way I state my case, then they can decide what their next move is to be. 

Eventually things calmed down and the conversation took a different direction. It will never be fully resolved, we have to live with our differences. 

I know I am a deep thinker, people say I over think things, but I feel that is better than diving into a situation with all guns blazing. I am happy that I can walk away from conflict with my integrity intact. It's not about winning or losing. Everyone is on a different journey, and must navigate their own way through life. 

This is a bit cryptic. No more details. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
