How to Stop Something From Bugging You.... Finally

By
Education & Training with Real E Smarter

Hello Everyone,

Well, we have snow outside and there is nothing like cuddling up in my favorite chair and watching some football on Sunday afternoon. That is until you hear a crash on the window behind you that sounds like you are under attack!!!!

Ha HaApparently some kids threw a snowball at my window because they thought that would be funny. I have had trouble with this little group of kids before and got my boots on to go talk with them. Of course their parents are who knows where, if only they were my kids so I could spank their butts..... but I digress. Fact is this has happened before and I was very upset as I don't want a hole in my window in the middle of the night in winter.

I went out and threatened them to knock it off, but you know kids, if they knew what was good for them they wouldn't be kids. So I finally had to call the cops which never showed up. I guess I have to wait until glass comes through my living room before they will do anything. I sat down and my wife gave me a little massage.... I listened to some music I love and got back to work.

So what I learned is, you can make yourself as miserable as you want to be, but sometimes you have to know when to call it quits and move on because there is nothing you can do that is worth your time. Life is short, don't get caught up in snowballs that hit your window.

Remember, Work Smart and Live Well.

It's not what happens in life, but how you react to it that counts. Great post.

I've had similar problems in the past, only our neighborhood cops showed up after the kids fled. You are right... we can't control life, but we can control our reactions!

Cute post and appropriate for this snow-filled season. I don't have any issue with neighborhood kids and snowballs to my windows, but you can use that perspective with all the "snowballs" in our life! Thanks for sharing...

The Serenity Prayer can work in so many different aspects of life!

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Ross - kids will be kids!  I'd be surprised if they didn't try some funny stuff.  Maybe you should leave some candy out for them - and smother them with sweetnes. That would make them wonder.  As it is the more your react - the more they'll want to 'get that old guy".  (not that you are old!!)

Go out and make some snow angels!!
