So over the last 2 weeks I have learned more about me and the woman I have become. We went to the aid of a family member as we always do and ended up being lied to and about. Through this I realized I am a whole lot more mature than I thought. When faced with an attacking letter my first reaction was human. I wanted to tell the person to go to hell. Then I realized that put me at her level and demeaned not only me but my husband and the faith he has in me. So I sent a polite and truthful email back. I can even get what she wrote to me. If my husband said to me what she was told by hers I would feel the same way. Of course if my husband was a cheating liar I might think twice because if he lied about one thing he probably lied about more things. Anyway I then told the family member exactly how I felt and why I felt it and bid them adieu as well. I don’t need to deal with childish crap. The week was full of tears and stress but it taught me that I am more giving and forgiving than I thought and that I am really strong enough to do what I need to to be happy in my life. It really reminded me of my blessings. I have a man that adores me to distraction and a daughter who calls me her bestest angel. I have the best group of friends. When I need them they jump to support me and lift me higher than I was before whatever challenge I faced. I have more than most women dream. Thinking on my blessings and the events of the past while has helped me realize that sometimes we have to let go. We have to put people from our lives who do nothing but pollute it. It is okay to say no. It is okay to distance yourself from people that can’t or won’t grow up.
