We had a great eveing at my uncle's retirement/birthday/anniversary party, everyone was in good spirits and the food was good. The weather even kinda co-operated! It was nice seeing some people I have not seen in years, so many have changed, especially the kids-wow!My uncle John even came from the coast.
Yesterday we had a busy day of touring the fort. We took Mom, we had not been there in years, and we used to go regularly as kids. A lot has changed, the people dressed in period costume and acting were fun. It is a rather small fort, smaller than I remember-but I am bigger now too, and it took us quite awhile all the same. We stopped at a garden centre along the highway on the way back. When we got home, we had a big family dinner, it was very good. I am always glad to spend time with my children foremost, and my family, but I was exhausted.
Being accepting of people's flaws and faults, and forgiving or overlooking them, is where you want to be in life, with friends and with family. Being constantly critical of other people is the path to unhappiness, and it is never where you want to steer your children to. It can lead to poor self-esteem, and ultimately bad life choices. That little bit I won't elaborate on, but I was thinking a lot about my friend and I certainly empathize with her-kudos to her for the incredible strength she has come away with, and on a good life path.
