Diving back into the ocean

[Meredith]

Pen-

Have we smoothed waves or merely ruffled more feathers?

Regardless, your very welcome for whatever I’ve said that has helped you. Heck, at least it helped someone!

Sometimes the best of intentions aren’t going to be well received. I think that many people have ideas that are set in their minds and they don’t like the ideas challenged. Perhaps because they’ve been through such a long journey, they’re just tired. Perhaps they fear the feelings that will come forth when their ideas can be changed. Perhaps they are simply comfortable with the way things are and resent intruders. Regardless, I saw what you tried to do and respect you for it.

Not one of us can say we’ve lived our lives perfectly. Given the chance to go back in time, some might do things differently. But, each and every turn has shaped us into the people that we are today. I’d not be in any such hurry to change that if I were you.

We all have things about our marriages that need forgiven. Perhaps a thread detailing your journey to forgiveness would benefit those who are ready to receive it, and no one’s tail feathers would get ruffled when unintentionally stepped on.

Anyway, continue with your eloquent advice and insight. I do know that there are many who appreciate such help.
