“The content of your character is
your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what
you do, is what you become.” - Heraclitus
My life has changed a great deal since
I made the choice to move my family in here with Mom. A great deal.
But, one of the biggest changes, is also the one that is most
difficult for me to accept: I am nowhere close to the person that I
thought I was.
I've always considered myself to be a
kind, openhearted and compassionate person. But, each day that I
move further into this journey, I realize how far away from that
perception of me, that I am traveling. And it hurts. Kindness is not
filled with hate. Open hearts do not react with resentment. And
compassion does not respond with anger. Yet, hate, resentment and
anger describe me far better. Each day that I respond negatively, to
the challenges of this situation, is a day that I choose to
do so. My choices have led me to what I have become.
