Let it go

I have a few things I try to live by (note the word "try"). First, I try to treat everyone the way I would like to be treated. It's hard when you have a personality conflict or when they treat you like doo doo. Second, I try to be honest with everyone at all times. Apparently my son thinks I am a good liar since I was able to lie to Morgan convincingly when we were keeping our "surprise" from her, so I am capable of lying well even though I do my best to be honest in all situations. It works better for me so I don't have to "remember" what I said to one person vs. another. I try to not take anything personally and let it run like "water off a ducks back". Why? Today may be my last day. I may not make it through. Why waste 1 minute worrying, being angry or holding a grudge? Life is too short. I have known a lot of people who do, and I have a newsflash for you. The only person it hurts is them. The other person, generally speaking, could care less. I really don't know if any of these things describe you, but if it does, take it from me, it isn't worth it. Life is too short. Make sure you tell the people you care about you love them. You never know when it would be the last time you speak to them. I fall short of my own advice many many times. I have to try harder to follow it myself. As a Christian I am even more cognizant of how people are looking at me as to what is an example of how a Christian should act. It is, however, not me but Christ that should be the ultimate example. I am human. I will fail personally as well as disappoint those around me. It's inevitable. I hope those reading this understand that. My prayer for today is that God would help me be a better Christian, Wife, Mother and Friend.
