There is nothing wrong with being selective about who you choose to be with or who you choose to have in your life. You can respectfully decline invitations to protect yourself. Don’t apologize for being choosy. Stay home and read instead.

Mr Murphy and I Agree
Edward Aloysius Murphy Jr. was an American aerospace engineer who worked on safety-critical systems. He is best known for his namesake Murphy’s law, which is said to state, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” It was his job to predict and correct the faults before they failed.

Day 127
Being a human #127 Set your mind to success. Say out loud, “I will succeed today.” A lot rides on the way you think. Think you can and you will.
