weeding

        You’ve probably been around people in fairly close quarters these past few days.   And chances are at least one of them let you down – he didn’t appreciate what you did for him or he said something hurtful in front of other people or he got a laugh at your expense . . . or worse.  If so, you have a choice.  You can either water and fertilize the little sprouts of bitterness and resentment (as in, “poor-me-I-deserve-more-and-I-never-liked-him-anyway”), or you can roll up your sleeves and do some weeding before the poison spreads.  Weeding is hard work, but it sure saves you a whole lot of trouble down the road.
