Respond with kindness.


I have had such a wonderful weekend I wanted to share.


Of course it didn't start off so wonderful.  My A/bf travels during the week and got to come home early friday and was there when I got home from work. Instead of hugs and kisses from him I got asked why I hadn't done this or that while he was gone.  I immedately got defensive. And within the hour, he asked me why I was being so cold to him.  Didn't realize I was. I made an excuse of taking a long shower. With the door locked and water running, I sat in the floor with my new book.  


Courage to Change Page 104- " If I don't know how to respond to a situation today, why not try responding with kindness?" 


I decided then I would respond to everything said and done with kindness, regardless.  What a tremendous weekend. BF and son were even kind to each other as well. 


So glad I have this book and all of you to share with.  Thank you and hope all have a great week.

ohh i need to get that book! i'd been thinking of getting it. is it all in small doses like that? i have a 2-yr-old i'm chasing around all day, so i never have time to read an entire book. so nice to pop it open and be inspired to kindness :)
