More gifts

More gifts

Yesterday’s blog reminded me of another memory. When Trish and I decided to get married in Sedona, Arizona, we knew that some people that we wanted there might not be able to make it.

A woman at work (different than the one I mentioned yesterday) told me, “You should invite people that you know won’t go. That way they’ll send you a gift.” It seemed like selfish and shallow advice and I ignored it. I’m sure she meant well and maybe I misunderstood where she was coming from.

I think it’s time to let these negative memories go. What memories are you holding onto that you can let go? (To make room for new, better ones.)

Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.
