No matter who you are you have relatives. How they treat you may be different from how they treat others. We try to see our relatives in a good light. When we see some of their posts on social media, we may be shocked. The way my kids perceive me may be different in a few years.
We all want the same thing in life. To be happy. It is elusive. It is so critical to be happy first. You don’t have to pursue it. You can make a decision to be happy, right now in the moment.
Forgive your relatives, especially your children. They are a little beings just trying to make sense of world we live in. I know I have an entirely different perspective of some relatives now that I am older. What I do remember, is the good times, the kindness, and grace others have given me.
