Just Wondering

Just wondering where people get some of their ideas from.  Just contemplating if anyone ever thinks about how their actions big or small might affect with a capital A, another person.  I think that I need to learn to remain on the cliff instead of going over it to make a person feel good about themselves or their actions.....or maybe that is just me and maybe that is why I may not be able to necessarily sleep at night, but I can lay my head on my pillow and KNOW that I have not  intentionally hurt someone else.  I hope that with age I might learn to step back and become a little more private, a little less...just a little .....less....giving.  I want before I die to take some time for me and just slow down.   How can I do that?  I want to care a little less,, feel a little less and surround myself and my family inside a glass bubble if only for a weekend........I know, I know I should be able to just do it, but that is easier said than done.  So I will continue and be grateful for the little things in life that make me happy and grateful that I have the knowledge that they are priceless.
