How real?

  I sometimes wonder if trying to be positive is just make believe. I believe in Keeping Things Real. But that is not the positive way, in some regards. I could have talked about the joys of yoga and my new awareness of my Core, as she kept saying it. But isn't it also just as interesting to note how different yoga might be if I didn't have to flick ants off my mat??

  But then some people are so dang negative that pain and worry and whining are their only reality, with brief bursts of gratitude and wonder at the world around them. If I entertain myself with the challenge of being as positive as possible, then it really does alter my reality. As I squish ants as quietly and peacefully as possible while inhaling for a panting -dog -collapsing -stretch of my hind quarters. 

  I don't want to get real with my blog. Life in its entirety can be pretty gross and also quite annoying at times. And I am trying to avoid being annoyed. I think it's it's entirely unnecessary. Including the word "unnecessary"  with all its extra letters and one letter that just sounds exactly like the other. Wouldn't Life be so truly amazing if we were successful in avoiding all irritation? Because how much of irritation is based on perception? All of it. Instead of fighting irritation, it sounds much easier to change my perspective. Goodbye Annoyance and Irritation, I never liked you anyway.
