Look for the good in those we love.
I know too well this is not an easy charge.
ξ
As we look for the traits of charm, it may seem like a task of farce. Shoot to strike past those tough traits, faults, gaps and cracks in your loved ones. While you seek for what is left, glimpse for the pure. Use the good you find … as the start. Then … care and lift the heart and soul of this loved one. Soon the hard-to love traits will wane. Is this not what we want for us? I do!

Wise and kind and sensible. I suspect the what we see that is not “good” is a reflection of ourselves.
Nice work, Becca, as always. You certainly rose to the challenge and gave it a good spin. Wonderful.

Thanks, Jamie … I read that all the negative we find is indeed a reflection … sometimes, i have to really think about the connection … sometimes, I see it and sometimes not!
Appreciate your stopping by ~~

Now this is a challenge, Becca, and one I would not take on, given my general impatience. Your message is clear and there are no “crammed in” words for the sake of addition to equal 100.
Great material, and a stellar reminder of the Golden Rule as well. Amy
