What if you...

What if you don't...

... take the bait
... push the button
... react on a hair-trigger
... come back with a snappy answer
... rise to the fight


What if you do...

... still your mind
... right yourself
... take a deep breath
... count to ten
... be silent


Sometimes, maybe it is best to walk away. To swallow your pride. To be gentle, be kind, move on.

The a.m. soundtrack - "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concertos I with Keith Jarrett, StuttGarter KammerOrchester, Denis Russell Davies" (1996) Beautiful. Powerful. Soothing. Enlightening. I don't play Classical music enough.  Perfect for a "melt-down" Monday. Maybe no melt-down today? Ease into the week.
