I am the kind of person who is always looking to learn and do a good job at whatever I put my mind to. It doesn’t always work, road to hell, etc., etc. But if heaven is anything like the movie “Defending Your Life,” I want to know that if I died tomorrow I can say that I had a life well lived.
How I’m doing in my relationships is a big part of my ‘case.’ Look, I’ve flunked at one marriage and I’ve got a really good thing going now, so I want to take care of it and treat this one right. I think on my relationship a lot, some would say pray or meditate on it. Whatever you want to call it; I ask/call forth/feel/know that I am living a happy and healthy life with my family and it starts with my marriage.
This month’s post for My Mommy Manual is about a big epiphany that I finally had about forgiveness and it’s role in relationships. It was a big DUH. People talk about forgiveness in relationships with a particular kind of reverence and understanding that I never fully appreciated until two things recently happened: 1) I read Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage and 2) I opened my big mouth yet again.
Come on over and read what I learned at Forgiveness: How Relationships Go the Distance. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you deal with your ‘daily bread.’ Comments most appreciated and make me look good to sponsors, so go for it and give me a piece of your mind.
