Forgivness

Doesn't it seem that of all times of the year ,that people should or would be more forgiving to others at this time ?
Talking to a friend this morning and hearing about how much she has always done for her family and friends and then after a series of unexpected and tragic events, she has a form of PTSD.

So of course holidays and the stress and expectations really affect her.
I have admired how well she has managed especially with additional problems coming from others.
She mentioned how others go on and basically have their usual lives but she doesn't and while she tries not to be gloomy, she sort of expects others to be a bit more aware.

She saw a doctor about her memory and he assured her that mostly she will be fine. And worry or stress typically can get in the way with remembering things.

All of this means a lot to me because I too have this going on. I thought after a while my memory would be better and it is but if there is stress , the memory, she is gone .
:)

I have experienced some of what my friend has dealt with and being alone all the time makes things worse but I know one thing for sure......
I am never going to be impatient or irritable with anyone for having a hard time remembering.

Funny , often the things that are remembered are those people who are so impatient .
