Parents: Whether they’re still alive or long since passed, biological or adopted, our parents were the first people to teach us about relationships. How can you cultivate a stronger, healthier relationship with them? How can you reconcile your past with your present and future?
Do you know that I set an intention to call and write the elders of my family more often? However, I’ve missed the mark quite a bit because of circumstances that are now in the past. I think that the best way to reconcile this past and cultivate a stronger, healthier relationship with them would be to wipe the slate clean and devise ways to follow through. Setting an intention is simply enough, but I need to have a clear plan to follow. Perhaps I can look at my days off and pick a parent or grandparent to call.
That is a great idea. We forget, too often, the simplicity of reaching out.
