Relationship Reflection

My relationships throughout my life have formed the person that I am. I believe that everyone in my life have made me the person I am. The relationships in my life are important to me, they give me peace, love and acceptance. My huband is my rock. He is my partner in life and would not chose any other.

 While completing my BA he was the one that gave me the encouragement that I needed to keep going, I would not have finished my BA without him. My children are the reason I continue to better myself. I want to show them that anything in life can be achieved. I want them to work hard and achieve all their goals. In every realtionship the good and the bad times teach me about life. They teach me how to be forgiving, how to love and accept what I can not change. They make me a better person.
I have always been the peace keeper in my family. I was always making sure that everyone else was happy and walking on eggshells in tense situations, with family that did not get alone. What I learned was I needed to have relationships with my family and friends on a personal note and not worry about if they got along. Learning how to handle family relatioshis has taught me how to be objective in situations dealing with children. I have learned to listen to everyone and never pass judgment. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

  1. Lisa,
    Your husband sounds like he is an incredible support system. He must have great faith in your abilities and determination.Your children are fortunate to have you as a role model. I believe you too have lots of wonderful relationships you cherish as well. I enjoyed reading about you and your family. I like you used to be the peacemaker, but I have given up being the relationship referee!

    Take care!!

  2. Hi Lisa
    I love the quote "the grass is not always greener on the other side".
    I find I lose sight of this often, especially when things are going smoothly and for some reason I can always imagine a way it could be better instead of reflecting on the blessings in my life.
