Nothing to Say

I was always taught growing up -- 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'!

I am settling in with my aunt.  I am learning we are both very strong willed and she wants it one way and I want it another.

I am learning that if I don't save enough love and energy for myself; I am unhappy.

I am learning that if I don't say no when I want to; it's my own fault.

I am learning to just let things be and not worry about what isn't apparent in the moment.

I am learning to not pay attention to every ouch and pinch I feel.

I am learning that an 'ouch' and a 'pinch' does not turn into anything more than an ouch and/or a pinch (usually anyway).

I am learning that when one person wants mostly everything their way and I try my best to please; it's not good for anyone.

I am learning that when I give too much of me away; I am not pleasant to be around.

I am learning that when someone is willing to care for you; it's best to allow them some leeway in doing it their own way and not demanding more than they can give.

I am learning MORE that an open mind is a beautiful thing.

I am learning that fear can change a person's personality.

I am learning bundles!  Ha.

May you learn just what you need to learn today.

I believe God has put my aunt in my everyday life to teach me just what I need to learn.

Something that I have lived for 50 years is not easily changed.  And, with family, it may just be the hardest 'change' of all.

And, I will not give up until I am truly, ultimately, honestly me.
