Push

I push, a lot.  I push to test limits and to see who will push back. It's an element in my personality to push; I've done it since I was young and I don't want to change it.  I admire and respect the people who push back, and I tend to gravitate towards those individuals.  I need to be pushed back to keep my strong personality in check.  And it keeps things exciting.  I'm a Gemini. ;-)

Ms Piggy.  Oh, how I have loathed her since I was a wee one of six years.  She is the antithesis to everything which I aspire.  Controlling, arrogant, and domineering.  Her relationship with Kermit reminds me a touch of my parents'.  And then I had someone point out to me that her qualities are echoed within me. That made me cold and I turned my gaze inward to intro-flect.

Now not all of Ms Piggy's characteristics are negative; it's always good to be a strong individual, but I concede that too much of a good thing is off-putting.  I will be more mindful and conscious of my behaviour.  This town is way too small to have enemies.

The lesson: When I push, push back.  Hard.
