The River: Writing Challenge Day 16
Gentle: I am gentle with the feelings of others. I am more often than not gentle with myself. I need work on speaking more gently to my children on a more consistent basis.
I bet you are too hard on yourself with those comments made to your children. I used to think the same thing - I should be EVEN more patient with them - they tell me now that they never felt as if I were out of line. That tells me they employ selective memory and/or they don't want to hurt my feelings.
I personally would like to meet the person who can say, "Yep, never did raise my voice to the little darlin's," because i would assume I was speaking with Mother Teresa, or the blessed virgin, Mary.
