Day 9 of Giving
Some days are easier to give than others. And some things are easier to give away than others. You know one of the hardest things to give?
Your Ego.
Bryan and I have been going through a rough patch. We had a bit of a disagreement last week and we've been on a bit of a silent treatment (sigh, those who know us know this is VERY unusual). No matter how much I wanted to, I just had too much pride to want to give in first. I didn't want to be the first to initiate yet another conversation, the first to make things right. (I'm sure none of you can relate to this :p)
After brewing yet another day, I knew nothing but my ego was in the way. And in a relationship, it's never about being "right" or who "wins" - it's about love and giving and working together.
So, I gave up my ego/pride for once and started talking.
Of course, once you start talking, it never takes long to resolve whatever it is you were trying to resolve. In fact, as I'm writing this, I don't even remember what it was we had a disagreement about.
