We Are Responsible For What We Do...

no matter how we feel.   Although I say that I'm doing alright, that's more about me speaking positively to talk myself into feeling better with this bout of flu. While still feeling quite pale and not up to my normal jovial self, I get home and take my frustrations out on the people closest to me. Yup, my own lovely spouse, April. She asks, "how ya feeling?" I snap back FINE! She tells me we have to go to Costco on a THURSDAY to shop for the Christmas weekend. I ask her if she is out of her mind? We go...I see the entrance to the parking lot jammed, I signal to re-enter traffic and head home in silence. I get out of the car, and wish her good luck as she heads back to the turmoil called Christmas Shopping. She comes home and tells me how unfair that was. Me being an adult...take the dog out for a long walk in silence. Yup...I'm a poop! There are two things that are a given in my house. 1. Say your sorry when you mean it and not before. When it is said, the recipient has the option for the acceptance or denial. But it's up to them. 2. If no one can come to a conclusion and you know you were WRONG...By asking for a "Do Over Card" means you are sorry, that you acknowledge your dumb behavior, and you see no way to straighten it out unless you can do it all over again. Only THEN, it is mandatory to accept the "Do Over" request. In doing so, it means...Yes, you were a dumb ass and I will allow your existence. I am giving it to you as I MUST and I also MUST forget the behavior that got you into the pickle. No more groveling, no bringing it up later. No storage of said behavior...It is FORGOTTEN! I used one yesterday. Because no matter how shitty a person feels, they are STILL responsible for what they do.   Today's Training: Leg Swings Leg Abduction Swing Cat/Camels Bird dogs Knee circles out of a fire hydrant 2x20   OHP/Banded Pull ups: 10x10 DB Lateral Raise/Banded Chin Ups: 10x10
