I am so jealous! How do I get that way? Maybe, just maybe, I can do what she does to get what she has.
- Wake up (not come to).
- Play nice (not hard).
- Dance and sing (but not in the bars).
- Seek to learn and understand (not to teach and be understood).
- Give affection (without expecting any in return).
- Get dressed and fix my hair (even if I am not going out that day).
- Love (unconditionally).
- Avoid resentments (like the plague…or this stomach virus!)
- Laugh with others (not at them).
- Like who I am (flaws and all).
- Like how I look (let’s not go there!)
- Accept how I feel (even when it is crappy).
- Visit others (especially my parents).
- Invite others over to visit me (even if my house is dirty).
- Help others (again, without expecting anything in return - damn, that’s hard!)
- Know what I want (and accept that it probably isn’t what I need or what I will get)
- Do what I am told (if I believe it to be God’s will).
- Relax (without drugs or alcohol).
- Be flexible (without being a doormat).
- Be easy going (instead of going when things get difficult).
That’s a tall order for a drunk like me!
The things we can learn from our children!
