andi, i love the idea that i need to find the lesson and then learn from it. it is a positive reframing and puts the responsibility back on me instead of keeping me busy feeling angry at others. i will try to use this tool. thanks

says: I honestly think that we (all of us) hold expectations of our friends (and loved ones) to act as they have always acted, or as we would like them to. When they act in a different manner we seem to get very hurt by it. ALSO when they react negatively to the expectations that WE put on them (the little things that we want to change about them) it seem to hurt even worse. I am starting to believe that grudges are lessons that we refuse to learn. So how do we find the lesson? I ask myself "what exactly is hurting? what can I do to make it stop?" Also... its kind of like "if it hurts don't do it".... we want to be around these people, so we need to figure out how to make it "not hurt". I am also starting to understand that it is I alone that can get rid of the grudges. I need to find the lesson, and then learn from it.I really hope this helps. *hugs* Andi

Deal!
Cheers!
says: wow! you are only on day 4 but you seem to have come so far. i will stick with it and lets keep in touch on our progress...
says: You should have expectations for yourself. That is the only person you are the master of. It's hard. I struggle with this same problem. I expect that my kids will do a,b,c or my expecations are that my husband will call if he is running late. I have no expectations of you, and you have none of me. Lets keep it that way. You are on day 1, i am on day 4. This is going to be a journey for each of us and if we are honest and put in the work. Live, Love
