One reader had trouble posting her response and asked me to do it for her:
"Each day I face so many frustrations, and the true power..as was mentioned in the end is to be empowered by not going down with each little snag. I definitely enjoy the days more that I let it all roll off my back. And not engage in responses that bring me further down the rabbit hole. While it is easy to slip and fall it is much harder to get up unscathed when I choose the more well behaved path; when I honor...the choice to move along and not slip on the annoying trivia. There are days when it is easier and days when I slip. Clearly. Taking the high road when I can ...is the best solution...And yet. Being human is the practice of forgiving myself as much as I can."
Thank you for your comment Paul and for sharing your experience. We fully agree that acceptance is a vital part of relationships, as is understanding what a healthy way to do that is.

As my wife and I close in on 19 years, I can say accepting is a big part not only of relationships but of life. 🙏
