In Spite of Myself

I know I act annoyed or put out when you call me frequently during the day in spite of the fact your only doing it because you miss me. Yet you still place me on a pedestal. I know at times I complain about something you cooked in spite of the fact you put in long days and I am at home. Yet you still cherish me and happily do for me. I know frequently I have the TV on or the computer, in spite of the fact you have to get up very early and need sleep, yet you still tell me it doesn't bother you and to go ahead. I know at times I ask for things, in spite of the fact we are short of money. Yet you still do everything you can to see that I can get and do things I enjoy. I know several times when something has happened I will tell you that I don't think you love me and that actions speak louder than words. What a needed reality check. I...who claims they know how to love and give now realizes that if I am judged by the way I judge others, I need a kick in the pants. It goes to show that when one really wants to see a true reflection of who they are needs to look in the mirror when it's clear...not when it's fogged over. P.R Deremer
