Oh Billy this is a treasure, short and brief but words with heart that stretch forever.

Oh, you need to post this one on the main board. It could do with some kindness.

Thanks Billy, This goes along with what I was reading this morning:
10 things that may help us with a problem and to show kindness:

1.' I'm sorry.'
2.' I love you.'
3.' Forgive me.'
4. 'You were right.'
5. 'Maybe mama was right.'
6.' I'll just let it go.'
7.' It's not really that important.'
8.' It's just ego, I'm acting like a baby.'
9.' Let me just calm down.'
10'.Let me look at it from their point of view.'

My recovery buddy Auntie Christy L. used to have a little kids rhyme that I try to teach my grand babies now... What I remember goes like this;
There are magic words that make life easier and 3 of these are
Sorry, Thankyou, and if you please.
I wish I remembered all of it.
She was real good with the kids.
I have no trouble looking at children and treating them with "Kid Gloves" seeing they need the love and the extra attention, etc. but when I see an adult I completely forget there is a little kid in there needing healing and love and xtra attention and should be treated with, "kid gloves" too.
Sometimes I think I forget this because I was under the illusion when I was a child that the adults in my life were going to know what to do and would never do anything to hurt me and this was not the truth nor my reality... so I have a covert resentment with anyone in a grown-up body. I really need to work on this because it effects my relationshipd in a negative way often. If I could remember this one thing it would have tremendous results in benefiting all my relationships.
