Forgive

Colossians 3:13
13  Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Sure is easier to figure out someone elses issues - like deciding they need to forgive.  Hahaha.  But harder when I look at my own quandary.  But forgiving is actually better for ourselves too.  Not to is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to get sick.  I see a lot of people around who need to forgive, so I am going to work on that myself.  Couple of people have disappointed me lately but I cannot control people, places, situations. 

Another person who (actually 2) who have voiced such feelings to me I wanted to say "it is not always about you".  So, maybe that is where I can start!  The other thing I pointed out is look at the positives.  One person is grieving a breakdown about family - this person going through a really hard time right now.  But she had 4 people who dropped everything to be there for her and she was focused on the ones that were missing. 

Great workout last night and coffee with friends.  To bed early, allergies affecting me - sore throat.  Slept great - thank goodness the stompers were quiet last night as were the people directly across the hall.  DH had dental procedure yesterday, so he needed the rest also.

I really do need to do a little drifting.  Just enough to put on my own oxygen mask.  Just in time for a few friends I have in my life who I still love, but I just find lacking.  I will drift quietly, not burn the bridge in huge dramatic fashion as of bygone life. 

Maybe it has nothing to do with me, or everything.  I don't need to figure it out.

Grateful for people

I am grateful for people in my life.  I had a great date night with my DH listen after a busy and productive Sat morning and drive sat afyernoon looking at leaves.  Sat morning was cool, but afternoon was pretty.  Stayed up way too late, had fun.  Saw my 97 yo DGM and her 93 yo SIL (my great aunt) and my fathers cousin.  It brought on some painful memories of my dad...but my dad is gone now.  I did what I could before he died.

After my busy sunday helping my DGM, i had a healthy early dinner and caught up with my aunts for little while.  I didnt get my walk in, rare for a Sun.  I will just walk extra this week.  Sold a purse and canned some apple pie filling.  First time ever made chunky applesauce with cinnamon.  Its good.  My house is clean.  In an hour, bed then another work week...

Trying not to wish my life away too fast!  But want winter over and its barely started!
