Life Lessons
|
|
I just came back from New Mexico the clan all gathered together for July 4th everyone showed up it was quite nice.
It's all my in laws the ones that I thought didn't really like me but it's not like that.
This weekend I really felt like family.
So I got to thinking.
Married 22 years this month what was it that made me feel so negative towards my in laws in the past and why suddenly everyone seems way cool?
It only takes one in the clan. One to gossip about the ones they have a strong criticism against and one to spread this infection to the others.
Everybody has one in the clan.
Everyone.
And that one that does this makes you really believe it's everyone doing this to you.
Don't get me wrong. I loved my mother in law RIP she was the glue that bonded the clan together even after death she is still the glue and with that she is very much alive.
But then suddenly I have no feelings of contempt.
She used to joke and criticize whatever I did and I allowed that shit to get to me. And it made me angry at times.
But now when I look back she really was only kidding.
If I would have only just accepted all that as a joke and not let shit get to me maybe my relations with the clan may have been good the whole time.
Life is too short.
That's my life lesson.
Life is too short to be angry that someone in the clan got the better of you.
So what.
The clan means everything.
Without it life is less meaninful.
When we parted ways today many cried.
Many hugged my daughter because she's about to start her Naval career.
There's some real love here dawgs.
And I feel very lucky.
And that's just my inlaws.
Life is too short to hold a grudge.
Shit happens. So what.
Just wanted to share that.
