The other day I was whining to my sister about an obligation (yes, yes, I was) when she said "Oh, just go along with it. It's not all about you". Ah, it isn't?? So, I've been thinking: I guess I needed to hear that. Because my life is SO charmed, so very perfect that I begin to take it for granted and start to not see my luck and blessings. But I gotta tell you, it's like turning the Queen Mary to adjust my attitude. Because heretofore, my thinking has been "If Mamma ain't happy, ain't no one happy". And why do things that don't make me happy? Things I really do not want to do. However, my sister pointed out an alternative view. So, my Scale of Evil is here to remind me to try to be less of the tyrant I really can be. Shall I thank my sister?

Gosh! You mean it isn't about us? Shucks! I had my family convinced it was...well until my DIL reminded me it was all about her. And then the grandkids chimed in and said, no...all about them. Sure is getting crowded in here!!
Guess we lose!! HA!
