Someone asked about my mom, making up with mom...

[Guest guest]

Well, It seemed like the forces were working against us in finding

another place to stay and my husband was not for getting a motel to

visit relatives that had room for us. I called up mom and asked nicely

if we could stay with her the one night and she was fine with it. I

feel strongly that I want to try to be at peace with her, even though

she blows everything out of proportion, she is my mom and I do love

her. My daughter says that many of my mannerisms are like hers...it is

kind of funny how you do turn into your mom when you get older.

I believe that it is important to try to be at peace with everyone. I

do not want to be spending the little energy that I have in anger to

anyone. Now, that does not mean I would want to spend time with people

who intentally hurt me, but I can forgive them in my heart, but just

chose to not spend time with them. It is harder with family. Anger

only hurts the one who is angry. Hugs, Penny
