Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!
Woke up to thick fog in the early tid morning hours. Alan took Shadow out for his walk; and felt that Fall is definitely here!
I have shared tidbits, in recent posts about having 'an attitude of gratitude'; and about being thankful for our daily Blessings. I also mentioned 'Thanksgiving'; and again, each and every day to us, is like 'a mini thanksgiving!' That being said, our Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up in mid month.
Want to comment that as a mother and a young grandmother, I am NOT abandoning my children, their spouses, nor our dear grandchildren. Sadly, we have been excluded from their lives, as per their choice; not ours. They do not appreciate my choice of a husband. Period. However, what is far worse, is that Alan has been falsely accused and maligned. I have been too, but it is 'water off a duck's back.'
What I will say, is that both Alan and I, as a unit, have tried our tidbit best to extend an 'olive branch' to all those concerned. We truly wish to work things through for 'a fresh start.' As I eluded to in one of my bittid posts, 'life is far far too short.' Perhaps when we are no longer here on this earth, they may realize that it is more of a loss, than a win.
A bit of tidbitz, one of the spouses has never set foot in our home, since we have moved here. We have extended invitations etc and to no bittidz avail. Therefore, it is wrong when there are such 'conditions' placed upon me. Nor would it be right in my heart, to exclude their spouses at family gatherings.
It is wrong to be divisive!
Am not complaining or whining. I am sharing bittids, that both Alan and I would like to be a part of 'family.' However, they have made choices to not include us as a tid unit. Sadly, we have had to step back and leave it be for the time being. Both Alan and I Pray everyday for them and for what it is worth, both Alan and I, love my children and grandchildren. Again, as long as they are happy with their spouses and treat each other well, we are glad for them! It is unfortunate that the same bit courtesy has not been extended to us, to be a part of their lives.
Tidbit - Continue to contine, to continue the 'good fight' to share and care and uplift others in our daily walk in Christ's service. Let Him fight your battles!
Bittid - There are situations that you have to let it all go, and leave it to Him to resolve. Do not be a victim; instead have the courage and the resiliency to make the best of everything. ie. Be appreciative for your daily Blessings!
I love this photo of a happy 'couple.' (Alan & I! LOL!)
Peace and God Bless.
