Choose which battles you are going to fight - you won't have the time, energy, etc. to fight them all so choose only the most important ones and forget about all the others.
Remember people will forget what you say and what you do - but they will never forget how you make them feel - either good or bad.
cookies make me happy, i suppose its only temporary though. i make the cookies myself, i got a great recipe, i love making them, i love eating them, and i love when other people like them too. there's probably a metaphor in there some where for you. OOOOH and if you are baking you should have a friend to talk to you ar your fave music playing, SUPER FUN!!
