DRAMA...

...life is just too short for it to be in your (OUR) lives. Drama by definition:
is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance.
or this one:
A situation or succession of events in real life having the dramatic progression or emotional effect characteristic of a play.

Since Wednesday night, I've felt like this:

That's me running!

We have recently been accused of being a family that is "all about drama". It really got me to thinking. Seriously, I'm not looking for complements. It's been a time of self-reflection. My mind is just going all over the place and assessing our (MY) behavior. Am I all about drama? I honestly don't think I or my family are.

When someone (and I really, honestly appreciate this) comes to me directly because they've heard a rumor that doesn't "sound like something our family would do" I tell them the truth. Sometimes the event is very personal to expound details but I will fill them in as much as possible.

Other people's perceptions of how I (or my family) behave because it's not how THEY think we should, honestly, isn't my responsibility. My responsibility is for me and my family to do what is right and true for US. People can spread all the falsehoods and untruths they desire because in MY heart I know we have and are doing what is right for OUR family. And as long as we're not hurting anyone, spreading rumors and lies, then that's what is most important. What is best for OUR family.

And this is what WE choose:

Thanks for reading my crazy rant from my overly tired brain.
