Where to Draw the Line

How can you tell if something that someone says or does is the last straw, or if it's just something very unpleasant, but tolerable? How do you know when to say "enough is enough!" & draw that line in the sand that says you will not tolerate something any longer? That is a topic that I have thought about a lot in the last ten years of my life, & something I sometimes have a hard time identifying, when certain situations come along.

Boundaries

Growing up as a shy girl, I was too afraid to stand up for myself because I lacked the courage, for one thing, & for another, I didn't want to hurt someones feelings. As I got older, I began to realize that while I'm worrying about not wanting to hurt someones feelings, I'm forgetting that the person I need to stand up to, is not worrying about hurting mine. So begins my epiphany.....

Enough Already!!!

What once was right, is now what's wrong,
And what was wrong, is right.
And those who love God must try to stay strong,
For freedom of religion is no longer their right.

For if they practice their faith & hold true to their heart
They are labeled as bigots, & set far apart.
Set apart from the mainstream, whose direction flows with the tide...
Whichever direction the tide flows, that's the direction they ride.
