There is a big difference between reacting and responding to difficult situations.  My (Debbie) husband Marty is always reminding me to respond in kindness and to avoid reacting. My husband is mainly concerned for my health. See reacting in haste tends to shoot the blood pressure sky-high and that cannot be good for the system.  Rather, when one takes a deep breath, waits for a moment, a calm, well thought out response can be expressed. Plus, as Catholic Christians, isn’t that what we are all called to do?  Maintain composure and respond with truth in love. Let’s have a candid discussion on this topic and see if we can begin to incorporate some new more Christian ways to handle difficult situations in life.
