My thought for today is Boundaries. Boundaries are defined as the lines we create to protect what is ours, our dignity, our values, our time, our serenity. Boundaries are different from walls. Walls are usually fixed in place; boundaries can be raised or lowered depending on our level of perceived safety. If it costs my serenity, then it is too expensive. Boundaries in a relationship can keep both of us healthy. They can help lower our expectations of each other and thereby avoid resentments.
