PnB,
You always put a smile on my face each time I visit.

You are an excellent role model on raising your standards that you hold yourself to, but don't go so far as to hold them so high that they will not allow you to experience the normal range of human emotions. There will be times where you get angry at him or anyone else for that matter ... times where you will panic or freakout. We're human and it will happen from time to time ... so don't beat yourself up for eliminating these emotions. Not gonna happen, BUT we can restain from them becoming a habitual reaction.

If nine times out of ten we show restraint and do what works, then that sets the expectation that we are holding ourselves to the best of our ability and no one will think any less of us for that one outburst.

So long as we don't repeat the outburst often enough that it becomes an expected response, it won't be a problem ... its not the emotional outburst that's bad ... it's when the outburst becomes an expected response.

Boy was that a long-winded way of saying ...

PnB, don't beat yourself up over just one incident.

Have a good weekend.

'til later,
KAW
