Opposites Attract

I am blessed to be married to an optimist, diplomat, do good kinda guy. Now, if I find myself in a particular situation where, say, someone is pissing me off, then this blessing can become the total opposite. What do you mean I should stop bitching? What do you mean think about the other person's feelings? Is that person thinking about ME?

Sometimes, OK, often, I want to bitch and complaint and not feel like I am always wrong or that I am the Hitler married to Mother Theresa. Join the fun! Whine with me! Nope, not really. I know he means good, and I wish some of those good qualities rub on me. But I like to think that my husband has my back, always. And that includes letting me speak my mind, even if it's an irrational thought. Not that thinking someone is training a guinea pig to spy on me is irrational.

So what do I do? I call friends and I Twitter. Only to find myself being somewhat scolded for writing those things. So I'll have a beer tonight, and toast to a more optimist me.... I think.
