Day 6...still trucking.

Day 6: Love is not irritable-Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with Irritation.
I think I can do this. It does take alot of focus on my part, but I really think that this could be a great thing.

Something I noticed. About 2 weeks ago I got to see my mom and my grandmother interact with eachother. It was not a pretty situation. I "almost" felt bad for my mom as my grandmother was going out of her way to make her feel embarassed and/or bad about herself. I say "almost" because my mom does this to me alot. She will say she dosent, but she does. My mother would NEVER admit it if she was wrong. I dont even think that she notices when she does do it. I notice now that it was a learned behavior. I am going to break this horrid cycle of hurt. I will NOT do that to my daughter or my sons. Sometimes I catch myself being sarcastic with them, and that hurts to know that I learned that and now have to re-learn to stop. But I think with some prayer and practice I can do this.
