My family is coming to town. And I mean my entire family. My brother, my sister, their families, my parents, my mom’s husband. Everyone.
----more---- Yes, I am excited.
I’m also a little nervous. After all, even though I love them and I have a wonderful family, we can still get on each other’s nerves.
Not often, but it happens.
I think the problem is that we are humans.
When these inevitable conflicts arise, I always try to remind myself, I probably annoy them a lot too at times. So I choose to respond, as best I can when my buttons are being pushed by people who have had a lifetime to learn how to push them for optimal effect, to be compassionate.
Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Yes. They are after all my family.
