Something silly happened recently that had me questioning my faith in people. But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I couldn't let that happen. How can you live your life with an open heart and kindness without trusting those around you? Everyone has a reason for doing what they do. My lesson: You can feel disappointed and lower your expectations accordingly, but it's important to realize that their actions really have less to do with you than their own personal motives. Then—and this is the hard part—move on. Dwelling on it will just harden your heart. I have to confess that there are times where I make hasty judgments about people, too, and this post is a reminder to myself to try to rise above that. On an unrelated and non-contemplative note, Erik and I went to an awesome Japanese restaurant on Friday. We sat in a little booth separated by a bamboo curtain, ate chicken wings, and laughed until our cheeks hurt. No matter what happens, I feel lucky to be so in love! [Photo credit: Amanda.]
