Maybe it’s the fact that this is almost impossible for me, but I am becoming more and more obsessed with the idea of loving everyone I come into contact with.  The concept of taking the people around me and making sure I show them as much kindness and patience as is humanly possible, along with enjoying them for who they are and what they represent– is very intriguing.  I have one or two people like this in my life, and it is so inspiring and refreshing to watch and be a part of.

Now for those of you that know me pretty well, you have to be chuckling right now because you know that I am one of the least patient and least understanding people on the planet.  I’m always the first one to explode, or get irritated, or let someone know exactly what I am thinking.  I am very picky with who I like to be around, and if you don’t fit into that mold then I am outta there.  With that being said, I am starting to become more aware of myself when I do those things, and I really want to try to change the way I react. And not just for the people I come in contact with, but for myself as well.  I really want to enjoy people, and their inconsistencies and flaws.  I want to develop more relationships with the people around me, even if they are brief.  What a great feeling it would be to have nothing bad to say about anyone.  To be able to look at someone and understand them for who they are and love them just the same?  Life would be so much easier and simplified.  I would probably sleep a lot better.

Anyways, hopefully by writing this I will be reminded every now and then about my new goal, and my friends reading can help keep me more accountable.

By the way today is the one year anniversary of this blog!!
