Easy or Difficult?

Hi.

Well, I'm still forcing myself to write, but I'm in a better mood at least.  Today's prompt, (have you noticed how I managed to spread a one month challenge into at least three months?) is to share something that I read online with you.

You may or may not have figured this out yet: I read ALOT of stuff online.  I am constantly reading articles with tips for marriage and giving birth and motherhood, and obviously a load of blog posts.  Unfortunately that makes deciding what to share with you a little trickier.  So many options!  How do I choose the perfect one to discuss with you?

To make this easier, I will just tell you about the article I stumbled upon yesterday:

The Powerful Habit of Choosing Kindness

I enjoyed/cringed during this article.  It seems like such a simple action.  Right?  Wrong.  Can I get an "Amen?"  Or am I the only one that finds choosing kindness to be oddly and intensely difficult at times?  Sometimes, I'd much rather squeeze in a real zinger or make him me suffer by choosing the silent treatment.  (Let's be honest- he is probably ok with that option.  At least he gets some peace and quiet, or clean dishes.)

The article is also great because it covers both sides, and I think that's helpful for all of us to see both sides.  Not only does it open my eyes up to what I need to work on, but also helps me understand where I'm coming from myself.  (I am so complex that I confuse myself sometimes.  Ha.)

It would appear that I don't have a whole lot to say about this article.  It's straight forward and I don't find it particularly groundbreaking, just good.  Good things to remember.  Those little moments add up to so much in the long run.  That is the hard part- remembering that every little thing is meaningful.  That every unkind, biting word I spit at my husband is going to add up. 

Do you struggle like I do?  Do you overcome it?  If so, how?  Share your wisdom!

Well, I'm out of here.  Talk to you later.
