From: David McEwen Write those thoughts on a note card, keep it with you a few days and review throughout the day. Then when you get hit with a blast from your mother, hopefully before your button gets pushed, you can change your perception of your mother and look past what she is saying to see a suffering being. >>
Dear David, The worst thing about getting angry is knowing that she is sick and that she is much older than I am and her time is limited (though we all live at the whim of God). I appreciate your advice. I am going to follow it and concentrate on what you said about listening and seeing that she is really a suffering being and that even if she is lashing out, she needs the response to be love, not anger. Thank you, <Gassho> deep bow Al [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
