On Relationships
A Reminder about the Green Grass
Stuff happens. Communication breaks down. Misunderstandings arise. We feel hurt, unseen, unheard, unappreciated, disrespected, unloved even.
I liken this to a sports game. Just because there is a foul does not mean we give up on the game. Sometimes we need to just move on and play through. Sometimes we need a timeout to create some space. Sometimes we need a huddle to regroup. Sometimes we need a coaching session to bring in professional guidance.
Look at all the good. Affirm what you appreciate regularly as what you feed grows. Then take steps to attend to what is challenging at the moment. Did we expect everything to remain static with no growth? I think not. No challenge, no change, right?
And we don’t climb a staircase to reach a destination in one giant step. Some transformations take more steps, and more time. Be patient with yourself and with others. Anything worth it will be worth it.
Greener Grass
The grass is not necessarily greener on the other side.
The grass is greener where you water it.
So if there are places that need patching, simply nurture them and be amazed at what time and attention may be able to achieve.
