Every moment is happy if you choose to perceive it that way; you have nothing to learn from someone being unkind, the lesson is for them

I’d written on Facebook: “It’s very sad when someone who is done with someone else can’t have a civil conversation about it. Live and learn.”   My friend Terri Mermis  said, “If no one ever brings you down, how would you ever have a chance to rise above it all and pat yourself on the back for recognizing they have no power over your feelings unless you give it away to them. Every moment is happy if you choose to perceive it that way. So much easier to live and let live, you have nothing to learn from someone being unkind, the lesson is for them. Be blessed abundantly!”
