Tarek...such good points and all the things I'm struggling with now. I WANT to be more like that. I find I can do it as far as how I treat people but my thoughts (judgmental) are always turned on in the background. I'll work on it...(and pray on it!). It also reminded me of a phone call I had in 2019 with a woman who was my best friend. We were talking about politics and were on the opposite sides in our views, but we were having a very respectful conversation. She brought up Kamala, who at the time was Joe Biden's running mate, and telling me all of the reasons she had negative thoughts about her. Less than a year later, my best friend died in her sleep due to a blood clot. One of the first things I thought about was that phone conversation and how little it mattered in the scheme of our one precious life.

I think it’s a continual process Linda. We don’t ever arrive. It is for me. Thank you for sharing!
