Seeing the good


Uta has not yet learned to judge people. He likes everyone. As long as you are nice to him, he will love you unconditionally. I can’t say the same thing holds true for myself. Though I think I am a kind person, seeing only the good in people takes a little bit more effort for me. This is particularly hard when it comes to family. All I want is some semblance of normal. But normal is not what I’ve been given, and having expectations of any kind are counterproductive. Crazy is a member of my family, always has been, always will. Crazy has a place at the table, a seat on the sofa. I need to get over it already. Move on. I need to take my lead from Uta: see only the good, love without judging, and be a much happier soul.
