Thought of the day

There is a lot of strife among families. Much of it has to do with one person feeling wronged from the other. I work with this in family therapy. Emotions are very powerful and normally it takes a few sessions to delve beneath all the hurt. Why not spend some time today thinking who you are not at peace with? Have some self examination and reflection. Perhaps you may think of reaching out and letting the person you are struggling with know that you do love them. Sometimes that is enough to begin a healing process. You may call the person and say something like, "I just wanted to let you know that I love you." There is no need to say but, however etc......Just say the words you feel in your heart. I still remember a woman at the cemetary during the Christmas season anxiously waiting for a sister she had fueded with. She was hoping that her sister would visit the grave. She just wanted a glimpse of her. Yet, she wouldn't connect because she had lost hope. Hope is always there, you just need to reach out and re-ignite it. During this time if you wish to ask a question or say something you feel will help others, feel free to say so. Kindness is needed during this time. What do you think?
