I can't tell you how many times of done the same thing. I know I'm human, but sometimes when I make the same mistake over and over again or hurt the feelings of a family member when they weren't even the ones at fault... well... it makes me feel somewhat less than human.

Fortunately for some odd, unexplainable reason, God chooses to forgive us (and forget it). This of course, makes me feel somewhat better and somewhat worse. Better because I'm forgiven. Worse because it's what I should have done in the first place (forgive). If I could just make THAT my knee-jerk reaction, I'd be so much better off.

Thanks for the reminder.

Accounting Services, that's a peace lily. I thought it appropriate for the way I was feeling when I wrote this one. :)

You're right, Marlene. I just wish it didn't have to be painful. Or so repetitious. Maybe someday I'll learn.

Yes, thank you! That's one of the reasons I started writing in the first place. :)

Sometimes we do things we never intend to do. But the best part of it is that we learn something from it.

Everyday we learn our lessons from our immediate family and the community. Attending parenting household and hear their concerns and problems make us realize how lucky we are with the family we have.
