The Best Part
“The only arguments I ever enjoyed were the ones where my husband would spin me like a top and get me ranting and raving and throwing plates until I saw him sitting there with a smile on his face and instantly forgave him. The making up was fun too.” – Charlene via my blog – www.cpt-rodney.blogspot.com
The secret weapon shows up again: the smile. Even in stressful times, a smile can totally change the situation. Next Charlene mentions the F word: forgive. The ability to forgive is goodness for both sides. Holding on to bitterness only leads to more bitterness and frustration. We attract to our life what we give our attention to. Lastly, Charlene comments: “the making up was fun too.” Getting past the ego, anger, and frustration does indeed lead to some good, positive, and affectionate energy. I propose we bypass the middleman and improve the process by skipping the argument by communicating with respect and get right to the Best Part: “the making up.”

My gosh you made a post from a comment! It seems like alchemy to me.
ReplyDeleteDennis, my husband, grew up as the oldest of 9 children and there wasn't a way to get along except to fight with his brothers and sisters. For the most part, they always forgave each other and went on about the business of life.
That's just sometime how the "inspiration" hits me :) Forgiveness is tough for some.
