Sometimes things do not go the way you plan!

How we deal with "let downs" is important. Right now I feel cross but, and aren't there always buts, it's my response that counts. Do I get angry? I want to. Do I tell someone to "stuff it"? I want to. Do I back off and say, "Ok you won't play ball with me so I won't play ball with you?" I want to. Do I want to cry, "That's not fair?" I want to. Am I going to sulk? Maybe! Will I let them get me down? Probably. Will I fight it? Absolutely. Will I do my homework? Dead right. Will they win? Not if I can help it! Am I stubborn? Nodding my head, "Oh, Yes!"
