Sometimes in life, you will have to ask yourself some questions, and sometimes you will have to ask yourself questions about others. Asking yourself questions will acknowledge you know these things are happening and how you want to move forward.
It may give you a realization of character, whether yours or theirs. It may explain what behaviors you exhibit or tolerate.
It’s almost the end of the year, so before we bring the new year in, let’s reflect on some questions we must ask ourselves. Grandma’s Corner is always about looking outward but, more importantly, looking in that beautiful big mirror.
