My mother taught me a long time ago it's always good to be the "bigger person". Sometimes I think that it is harder than it appears. How big is big? I guess that remains to be seen and what frame of mind you are in.
Today I started my second round of 29 Gifts. I challenged myself to reach out to a family member who had alienated herself from the rest of us many months back. I worked hard at that email last night. I knew contacting her would mean a lot on her end, but difficult on mine. My note was kind and supportive and when I finished I felt a great sense of relief.
Will she answer back? I'll keep you posted, but either way it was a very needed gesture. And I ended up feeling quite big actually.
