It's sometimes difficult to see you have a problem until someone else kindly and lovingly points it out to you. That's what my sister did for me in a round about way. I like what you said (and identify with) "learning to act instead of react". For me it kind of goes hand in hand with minding my own business: it's a part of learning that I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be responsible for another person's words or actions. I had a bit of a shocking reminder of that this weekend in fact. Instead of just agreeing with the person (as I would have in the past), I stood my ground, explaining the way I feel and when that didn't work, I chose to remove myself from the conversation completely. Before, I would have said I agreed even though in reality I adamantly disagreed. I feel like we are growing and changing as people, and that is a good feeling!Weird Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741606743077510556noreply@blogger.com
