LAUGH, don't worry about the DRAMA...

 "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too

short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

========================

proverbs 15:13 "A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance..."

========================

OH, THE DRAMA OF A DAY.. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST IN YOUR OWN MIND (perhaps your own insecurities, or maybe guilt from talking, laughing or hurting someone else feelings).. "WHAT YOU THINK IS GOING ON.. OR WHAT YOU THINK OTHERS ARE SAYING OR TALKING ABOUT" TRUTH IS, IT'S PROBABLY NOT ALL ABOUT "YOU".... YOU OR I CAN ACT TOUGH, WE ALL CAN... LIKE THINGS NEVER BOTHER OR HURT US.. BUT MOST OF THE TIME... IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT YOU! WE ALL HAVE THOSE DAYS OF FEELING LIKE THIS, I KNOW I HAVE MY SHARE! BUT.. TRY TO JUST BE HAPPY! HAPPY WITHIN YOUR OWN LIFE, YOUR OWN FAMILY, YOUR OWN...... IT'S ALL DRAMA, UNWORTHY OF THE PAIN, FEARS, INSECURITIES, UNHAPPINESS IT CAN CAUSE!.. SOMETIMES JUST BRAIN DRAMA.. (IN YOUR OWN MIND, maybe from your fears of not being well liked or being JUDGED or whatever) JUST LAY IT ASIDE, IT'S NOT WORTH THE ANGUISH, AND IT MAY ALL BE IN YOUR MIND..  AND BE HAPPY... What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:28-31

 FOR INSTANCE, YOU SEE PEOPLE STANDING AND TALKING.. MAYBE TALKING LOW OR QUIETLY??? MAYBE YOU JUST THINK THEY ARE.. OR LAUGHING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW.. BUT MAYBE.. JUST MAYBE YOU FEEL IT'S ABOUT YOU??? MAYBE NOT! TRY NOT TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS! MAYBE THEY ARE JUST LAUGHING ABOUT SOMETHING THEY THINK IS FUNNY!  OR TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW OR TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING PERSONAL (TO ONE OF THEM) REMEMBER... OTHERS LIVES, LAUGHTER, HAPPINESS, AND CONVERSATION DON'T NEED OR HAVE TO REVOLVE AROUND YOU, WHY WOULD IT BE? .. IT'S JUST CONVERSATION, OR LAUGHTER.. I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF OF THESE VERY THINGS SOMETIMES, HONESTLY.. MANY TIMES... WE JUST HAVE A FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS GOING ON "BEHIND OUR BACKS... ABOUT US" BUT, THE LIVES OF OTHERS DON'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU! THEIR HAPPINESS, DON'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU, NOR ARE YOU THE REASON FOR THEIR LAUGHTER.. BE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE HAPPY, JOIN IN IF YOU CAN!..

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:28-31
