~~Just to share a little story~~
When I was a little boy, my mom like to make breakfast food for dinner
every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had
made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and
extremely burned toast in front of my dad.
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!
Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me
how my day was at school.
I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching
him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom
apologize to my dad for burning the toast.
And I'll never forget what he said. 'Baby, I love burned toast.'
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and I asked him if he
really liked his toast burned.
He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Little Buddy, your Momma put in a
hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little
burnt toast never hurt anyone!
What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's
faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of
the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting
relationship.
We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is
the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or
friendship!!"
Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - but into
your own. No one else can MAKE you happy, Your happiness is a choice you
make.
People will always forget what you do, and they will always forget what
you
Say, but they will never, ever forget the way you make them feel.
