What am I grateful to them for?

Are you frustrated or upset by anyone in your life? Is someone driving you crazy? Are they too loud, too bossy, too flaky, too up-down-turn-around, too [fill in your pet peeve here __________]. Would you like a little more ease in your life when you're around them (assuming you have to, or would like to be around them)? If so, ask “What am I grateful to them for?” and acknowledge them for that. There will always be at least one thing, if not more. Parents who drive you nuts, and are always there to make you a cup of tea and smile at your kids. A friend who is predictably unpredictable, and has helped you see that people do not function from the same set of rules and makes you laugh. A lover who picks insane fights, and is really great at...um...other things. When you acknowledge someone for who they are, and are grateful for their great bits, you will you ever be the effect of them?
