I read a post this morning and
did not plan on writing
but soon memories began to surface.
Seems the fingers on the keyboard
begin to fly.....
Family barriers are sad and I am so aware of them in all sides of family
in generations past and present.
So deeply aware of my own failures.
Thankful and hopeful my failures in the past have been resolved
as much as
I have been able to do.
Some existed and continue because of parents sharing
with their children
and this may go on from generation to generation.
It is truly not a child's choice
but only exist from words and influence from another.
This has always burdened my heart.
As we age and hopefully grow in wisdom
we become aware of this and this fact helps resolve the issue in our heart.
Seeing it continue at times and doing all one can do,
helps at times
and then it sometimes truly burdens the heart.
~~~A person disposed of unkindness
will more easily erupt in these traits anew
at any provocation. But in a moment of
kindness a kindly disposition is deposited~~
Words I read and changed some.

Sometimes it seems the one person in our lives who is most in need of forgiving is ourself.
Have a peaceful weekend.
Kindness is my favorite. Kindness is most important to me.
Thank you.
Dear Elsa Louise and Sandy,
All is well - when I read something this morning a lot of thoughts surfaced.
I have an active mind :)
Yes. I know this.
I think my sister is not a kind person. I know it is ironic that I am judgmental of someone I believe is too judgmental.
But still.
It is hard to let go of history.
Mel, once we are aware it is the beginning of fighting a bad habit --good luck - you can do it...
My husband and I moved 600 miles away to start our family "fresh" and away from the problems in both of our families. We stayed in contact and visited, trying hard not to sway our children in their views. It worked. Our children had relationships with their relatives and were able to come to their own conclusions. They are proud of our family in Maine.
Sharon, I think family relationships are one of the most difficult to keep smooth...
