DRAMA FREE ZONE

 At this stage of the game, I am DONE with drama.  Some seem to thrive on drama and go out of their way to keep things stirred up.  She said and he said and they said is enough to drive a saint over the edge of reason.  I not only dislike drama---I actively flee from it.  The space around me is a "NO DRAMA ZONE".  My sweet little-ONLY--granddaughter came by recently with her mother and was in tears over some pre-teen drama.  Her Mom told me she can't stay away from the "Girl Drama" that has already begun happening and we are not even into double digits yet.  When it gets started, she has not learned 'DON'T POKE THE BEAR!"

If you poke the bear, it will turn on you and attack you.  She will learn, but it can be a costly lesson.  Hopefully, she will learn the tricks of her mom and her Lulu---we change the subject or walk away.  AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DRAMA!  Why the need for drama?  I really believe some are not happy unless there is a stink going on---entertainment? or placing yourself in the middle of the action?  Whatever---some seem to not be satisfied unless they are in the midst of turmoil.

I have had my fill of drama in my lifetime and can truthfully say---it is a waste of precious time.  I am done--over and out---turning away and fleeing from any and all drama.  Life is not meant to be spent in the chaos of self-made drama.  We have enough to handle as we trek through life without creating trouble.  SO---do not be drawn me into any drama--- turn your back and walk away---without a second thought.  God did not intend us to be stirring up trouble.  All four gospels have a story of a woman anointing Jesus and someone questioning this act.  My favorite is in the Gospel of Matthew~

"Jesus was in the town of Bethany,

eating at the home of Simon,

who had leprosy. 

A woman came in with a bottle of expensive perfume

and poured it on Jesus' head.

But when his disciples saw this,

they became angry and complained,

'Why such a waste?

We could have sold this perfume for a lot of money

and given it to the poor.' "

Matthew 26:6-9

Jesus's own disciples---are trying to create drama and Jesus quickly puts an end to the discussion.  My take away---Jesus did not like drama and had no patience with those who created it.  My lesson---do not listen---walk away---run-flee from drama.  If at all possible---live in a Drama Free Zone.  Life has enough real drama--without creating more.
