Around every corner are opportunities for growth. Dealing with relationships. Relationships. Relationships. Sometimes a single conversation changes the way you look at someone. Sometimes an event.
We got a call today that my father-in-law is ill. They don’t know if it’s cancer yet. But they know it’s not good. This man I’ve had few conversations with, this man who raised my husband, is a man I may wish I’d gotten to know…
I got into an argument with my dad this week. We don’t normally fight, so it was odd. He questioned my parenting abilities. I stood my ground. But it still affects how I feel about myself. After all, I am working through that place of seeing myself apart from how my parents see me. (If this came easy to you, congratulations. It hasn’t for me.)
And then there’s still the whole WE HAVE NO MONEY issue. Definitely an opportunity for growth!
The question: Will I find it within to take those growth steps — or will I curl up in a ball eating M&Ms in the dark?
