IMP, You are right about not making a big thing out of something small. I have finally learned to keep my mouth shut and not go with my first reaction to something, and--amazingly--it has helped. So I didn't say anything on Friday and we ended up having a good (if confusing) weekend. It even ended on a magical note, with a stunning sunrise that we watched together from the front steps.
I will try to relax--as you can probably tell, patience is a challenge for me! However, I have reached the conclusion that patience is an absolute prerequisite to wisdom. (As my son lovingly tells me, "take a chill pill, Mom!")
Thank you for your reply--I am appreciative of the opportunity to lay out my issues, here, with others who really get it!
