boundaries apply in the large view. not just little things. our core beliefs help us set our boundaries......and getting along is usually enhanced if a person knows where you stand.

i don't mean nitpicking. i mean the things such as "i've changed my mind and am having dinner with so and so....sorry you cooked".....

my mom used to say, "DO you like YOUR hair that way?"....i finally learned to say, 'I LOVE IT'. and she quit asking. that was a small thing.

i know you want to get along. but boundaries, detaching and few expectations will shore you up.......i think. i'm awfully tired right now and not too wise.
