For The Older People

[Janice]

As you are growing older, do you sit and think this is a good time to mend ways with someone you have held a grudge against all these years?

Is there someone in your life which you should be on better terms with, but just can't take that first step?

I would hate to go out of this life at least not trying.

Me... my mother and I never got along. We were more like sisters constantly fighting than mother and daughter. I tried till her death to get her to say it is all ok now, but she would not budge. Still blamed everyone for her dire in life. At least I tried. She is the only one I had communication problems with. My sister could not get through to her either. What a waste. We could have had a great time together.

Janice Ive noticed the older people get the more stubborn they get. I try not to get that way as I do not want to grow older and look back with regrets.

Theres a few ppl I would like to be on better terms with and ive tried. And I will keep trying.

Yeah, but when I consider some of the water that's gone under that bridge, I don't know if it'd be worth it to fight the turbulence I know lurking there. I try my best not to bear a grudge... but look forward to better times and relationships with friends moreso than redredging up ill feelings with those who've chosen to more or less scratch me off their list. JMO.

I just really try to always have a positive attitude. I would feel horrible if I thought I hurt someone with what I said or did to them. I said some pretty bad things in the past, and I have learned. I think as I get older, I am using what I have learned. I always learned to stay away from negative people. They will only bring you down and you gain nothing from them. There are too many positive people to be around.

i did just that and tried to mend things with my sister at my cousin's wedding last weekend. but as usual, she exceeded my expectations of her and her husband. my dad and my brother agreed that she is just mean and disrespectful. We all agreed to quit trying.
