Grandpa always said…

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

One of the best pieces of advice I have ever received was…”never go to sleep angry” I cannot tell you how many times this has been present in my thirty year marriage to my husband, or thru the middle school years with my daughter, or the terrible threes with my son…

Life is full of so many difficult things. It is hard to stay above water at times, other times your swimming miles and miles. Both my grandfathers endured war. One a marine. The other an air force chaplain. They experienced completely different versions of war and life in general. Both were married for fifty years. It is a life I aspire to.

Relationships are all about communication, compromise, consideration of your partner. Your spouse. Even after kids that relationship needs to be cultivated and worked at. Nothing wonderful is ever easy. Grandpa used this example with relationships. It could be used in every aspect of life. Communication, compromise, consideration are things you can use in work, in PTA. Etc.

So rather than go to bed angry. Take a deep breath, exhale, and have faith that if you talk things out with your spouse, or your coworker. If you compromise, show compassion your life in general will go smoother. You will be happier in the long run. That is all I have today readers! Life and writing are a work in progress…(just like me)😘
