One day I was half joking with my mother about something that happened when I was a teenager. She didn't think it was funny. She didn't laugh. She actually got teary-eyed which upset me because that was not what I was trying to accomplish. She apologized and it has been 30 years. In her apology though she reminded me that she's just a person. Yes she's a parent but parents make mistakes. She did the best she could and especially with a daughter who thought they knew everything. That there was many things she regretted doing as a parent and reminded me that there will be a day 30 years from now when my daughter does the same to me and it will hurt my heart the same way because she is still upset about what I did to her 30 years down the road. We all make mistakes. Everyone.

Suffering is a good reminder and connection in this life of Jesus suffering for us. Love you enemies and pray for those who persecute you. I told this to a homeless man whos dog was stolen. About a week later he said he finally broke down and prayed for the people who stole him. They returned the dog the next day...

Yes, I had to stop years ago, & look around me realizing that I am upset 😭, but no one else is upset... no one cares that I'm upset... what am I getting out of being upset!!?? Nothing, except, I'm upset. Why!!?? Exhausting. There's a good place between appropriately feeling your feelings & "suck it up buttercup." ❤

If there is no justice, what is the state but a big gang? (Marcus Aurelius)

Today, at 67, all my attachments are being stripped away. Divorce, estrangement from my child, career ending, the works. Soon all I will have will be me. And today, I plan to be okay with that outcome because one day, hopefully not too soon, life too will be stripped away, so I might as well be content in the interim.
