You just replace RID with TYO (Tzadik Yesod Olam)!  :D

what a guy, this eye...

Reb Eyeball, shlit"a

Whenever I get resentful at my wife, I react by cleaning something in our house, vacuuming, doing laundry, or spending quality time with our children. I need to do it right away without thinking about it...there's just no other way for me to stay sane sometimes than giving selflessly - especially when I know that she's in no mood to be nicer to me as a result!
Get it?
Sounds like you have happenned upon this basic idea, already, oh great Optic one. 

If I am Eye...

Just E-daf'd it - What I was quoting above is Sanhedrin 43b at the top, and Rashi is mashma that it applies even (or specifically) if he was already oiver in the past, as in "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". Tell me what you think. I posted about it before once and connected the next gemorrah to this ma'amar, BTW. Seeya!

131.

wow. that's a real mystical number. cuz it can be read backwards and get the same result. Kabbalists just eat this stuff up.

Here's looking at YOU, Eye...

eno ytriht eno?

Please nailpxe!

PS. Mazel Toova, Mr Eye!

132.

Which, in a different tziruf, is as easy as 123.

We're having some work done and we're really quite unimpressed about quite a few things.

It's really easy to just blast the workers with a ton of complaints.

I decided, "It's not going to accomplish anything.  Nothing good will come out of it."

This got RID of lots of frustration and resentment.

133.

Have a Great Shabbos on 134.

Do me a favor? Make sure that I never catch up to you, OK? like on a really scary rollercoaster, it's nice to see someone in the car ahead of you...

Peace, bro,

Steve

Could you please speak a little more about HOW you turned RID into overlooking it?  I seem to find a need to PUT that RID rather than dissolve it or banish it. And sometimes it's hard to find a place. (Kick the dog?? I don't have one, by the way.)

Was it really enough that you said "enough already" to yourself, or was there something more?  Please PM if you can, too. Thx.

Today is 134.

Yes, it was a good Shabbos.

NOTHING WENT MY WAY!!!  I love it!

I've been getting used to saying this:

"It looks like today isn't going to go my way!"

"THIS isn't going to go my way!"

I was just writing something on the computer and it crashed when I was just about finished.

"THIS isn't going my way!"

It's eliminating an awfully lot of anger and frustration...  which eliminates lots of the "urge" to act out.

Funny, I'm always amazed at how often a piece of chizzuk I write to someone IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED to save myself soon afterwards.

I just recently posted on a different thread that a root of our problem is anger, and the anger comes because THINGS DON'T GO OUR WAY!

shkoyach, Eye!
that is great chizuk!
and a really helpful to view things.
gut voch!

unbelievable...

135.

Today is yet another day that definitely isn't going my way.

I've had a little insight.  Some people try to get rid of anger by saying, "This, too, is for the best... everything that Hashem does is for the best."

But, I think you need to make way for this.  FIRST you have to accept, "Things aren't going to go my way."  Sur M'ra, before Asei Tov.

Otherwise you say, "this is for the best ...BUT IT CAN'T BE BECAUSE IT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED!!!"

I've tried to think "this is for the best" before, but I haven't ever felt so much of a change as I feel now, thinking "things aren't going to go my way."

So, I think that's the explanation.

On a different note, I'll admit that I slipped recently.
