Very interesting that you should post this...for about the past 24 hours, I have been struggling so much with something that I wish so much I could fix, but I don't know who I need to fix it with. I've been having such an "elephant in the corner" feeling all week, and I have never been one to ignore those elephants, but I can't seem to identify it enough to even say, "hey, there's an elephant in the corner." And it feels so much like a wasted opportunity.

But perhaps the opportunity is there for me anyway. It is in my nature when I have a problem with someone to address it with them and try to find common ground. But if someone has a problem with me, there is nothing I can do to insist that they act according to my nature. But it is also in my nature to reflect back the feelings I get from others, be they positive or negative, and there is certainly something I can do about that. I can chose to treat people with love, even if they may not feel love for me.

Sorry if I have made this about me, but I do appreciate your post for opening my eyes. Thank you!
