For All Dealing With Relatives

If you are dealing with relatives today, have bad relations, have a hurt heart, have a hard time holding your tongue--you are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

I send you peace and good wishes and know that you are not alone!  Just hold that thought, have faith, do as best you can and carry on!

Your post reminds me of the saying "You can pick your family, but you can't pick your relatives".   Woman LOL

Where I grew up the saying was always "You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives!"

 

How true.

Thank you for your kind words.  

Almost 20 years ago, it dawned on me I could actually chose to close the door and have peace in my life-or not.  My choice was peace.  No more poison in my life.

@Sooner Did you have a family reunion today?

 

I have a few weeks before a family reunion. And yes, I will hold my tongue. In fact I try not to speak.

@drizzellla Now that is funny!  No, I don't but I have friends who do and have heard. . . uh. . . stories!  Which is part prompted me to post this.  SO, I think many at this year can join in wishing all of us peace and patience.

@ECBG Wise words.  You do what you can do and you do what you have to do sometimes.
