Day 3: Something I have to forgive myself for

Hmmmmm.....I need to forgive myself for....

......being a bratty older sister to my brothers growing up
...giving my mom an attitude as a pre-teen, teen and post-teen
......being awful to my mom during my engagement and planning for the wedding.

I think the last one is one of the biggest things. During the planning of my wedding, my mom and I fought almost every week about something. We lost touch and grew apart during that time. I regret it so much. I now know I will never let something like a wedding...one day of my life...come between me and my mom or anyone in my life. Weddings are important and very special, don't get me wrong, but sometimes people become so wrapped up in the planning and preparation for them, they lose all civility.

The lesson I can take away from that time of my life is to know how to handle the situation differently and better next time. People are more important than bridal showers, seating charts, and money.
