Hi all:

For me, I would rather be nice than the alternatives. Albeit with some
folks this is very easy. With those "others" the buttons get pushed
before I wake up. The more I can be mindful on a regular basis, the
less the buttons are available for pushing. I also enjoy the reaction I
often get when being "nice" to those who IMO are shall we say
sleepwalking. They are either oblivious, ie. SOUND ASLEEP, they are
suspicious, sleeping con artist, or they are confused, possibly a
moment of mindfulness...

I still react from a sleeping state more often than I care too. But
even though I may allow people to get under my skin, the 2 things I
need to remember, this takes time & practice, and I am doing this for
me.

later, Jeff
