Anger

So I've been gone a long time from this blog.  I will update you in a few but first the major issue.

Anger:  As I get older, I feel like I get angrier.  I am angry at people, the state of the world, and whole groups of people.  I am angry that people can be so narrow minded.  I am angry at myself for being angry.  It actually scares me that I can't let the anger go.  I can't seem to find peace in anything and that is so very frustrating for me since I have been such a happy and easy going person for so long.  What is wrong with me, what have I been doing that is so toxic to my soul?  Why can't I accept that I will have a differing opinion or that people will be stupid/ignorant/bigotted/etc in the world?

I NEED an attitude change.  Where do I start?  Is it all stemming from my depression?

Things I need to do:

-Be more active
-Spend more time in quiet reflection/prayer/reading
-Spend less time being judgmental
-Forgive people I HAVE to interact with for being close minded
-Remember that I am strong enough to cope with anything I do
-Remember that God doesn't give you more than you can handle
-Friends here aren't necessarily true friends
-True friends are worth holding onto and loving

I am going to take some time tomorrow to get away from the world and contemplate life.
