Today is a day to use my manners and so “No Thank You “when someone offers up Offense…

We all have a choice whether we take what someone is offering us and yet many of us choose to take offense whenever it is available. We do this and then rage against its vileness, but do we spit it out, oh no, we are troopers and we choke it down. We call our friends over to partake of this dish called Offence and we say “I know awful right”. Someone yells from across the room that a new slightly different dish has arrived and we flock over there, yup same story, but we have a right to it so we will take it. 

I am offering a new perspective. Remember it is called TAKE Offense not, pushed on you Offense, or Offense landed on you deal with it. If we believe you are what you partake of then if you keep taking in all that Offense then you yourself will be at risk of becoming offensive. I myself have been guilty of cooking up my own version of this dish and offering it those around me. For this I am truly sorry. 

Well every day is an opportunity for a do-over so for today I will make effort to create opportunities to serve up dishes filled with loving kindness. faith in the universe and just plain friendship. I challenge you to do the same.
