Gratitude 64

We just got back from a weekend with my husband's family and the visit went really well.  I am so relieved.  Family tension can come from so many sources and can go back so far...it makes me feel really helpless when I can't fix everything and to an outsider, so much of it seems so strange.  I just want everyone to get along because I know that, in spite of  insensitive behaviour at times, everyone does love one another, they just seem to have strange ways of showing it sometimes.  This weekend, everyone said what they wanted to say and I think everyone felt loved and appreciated, as it should be in a family.

I am also grateful for my own bed, though!  Coming home is wonderful!
