An article worth sharing

When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast food for
dinner every now and then.
And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast
after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage,
and extremely burned toast in front of my dad.
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!

Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask
me how my day was at school.

I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching
him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom
apologize to my dad for burning the toast.

And I'll never forget what he said. 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and I asked him if he
really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Little
Buddy, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired.
And besides - a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!
You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people.
I personally am not the best at some things either.'

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's
faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences -
is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing,
and lasting relationship.

We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding
is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!!"

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket -
but into your own. No one else can MAKE you happy,
Your happiness is a choice you make.
People will always forget what you do, and they will always forget what you say, but they will never, ever forget the way you make them feel.
