Choose Inner Peace.

Close your eyes and breathe deeply again.
Then, and only then, take action -

There are those who will never admit it.

Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -

the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

Perspective:
Do you always look at life from the same point-of-view?
Consider viewing a situation as another might view it.
Look from behind, underneath, from the distant heavens.
View the situation as someone of a different religion,
race, or nationality might view it.
Pretend you are an alien from a distant galaxy -
that should be good for a laugh.
Troubles only appear troubling to those close to them.
