Lynn Toler Instagram – They were awfully calm about! That’s how I want to roll. Not into a roof .. but be able to roll calm should I happen to do so. #cool I was talking to one of many workmen I’ve had of late … As an aside, I think my house is mourning BigE too cause so many things simply just stopped working when he stopped being here. I mean in what world do you have to replace four toilets on the same day not long after the water heater burst and takes out a corner of the garage? And let’s not get into the air conditioner leaking through the ceiling and door handles breaking. House is 10 years old. I know it’s stupid but I think it’s him messing with me. Kinda like a voice from beyond saying ‘do you miss me yet?’ It makes me smile to think of it that way. I stick my tongue out at a picture of him every time something breaks. One of the great things about our #marriage was we both shared the same sense of humor. To hell with the circumstances. He’s still mine and I can still rib him. Now that you know faaaaar more about my household appliances than could ever interest anyone that’s not a repairman, back to the matter at hand. (lol I gotta scroll up because I can’t remember what I was talking about.) Ok. I was extolling the virtues of cool. #becool … Anyway one workman issues. He apologized profusely. I said, “You fixed it. That’s all I wanted.” He looked so relieved. How am I gonna get mad. I make mistakes too. Besides I used to think being an unforgiving Christian was an oxymoron. Now I think it’s heretical. Relevant #Tolerisms #Anger is an able imposter. It is usually no more than #fear or #frustration all dressed up in military garb IMPERSONATING #power. With every epithet we hurl, With every argument we get into, we teach our children how to feel. Gift your kiddies the ability to solve sanely and be peaceful in the face of folk who would seek to steal it from them. In parting,I would like to wish the women who drove into a roof all the best. Have a good day. Keep things in perspective. #emotionalintelligence
