Life's irritations part 2

An amazing thing happened this morning.  Yesterday I wrote about the things that happen in our lives which irritate me and how, by making changes, I've reduced the list to two.  This morning I woke to find that as I said 'good morning' I was waiting with a smile to see if Ash replied with his usual 'what?'.  He did and it made me smile even more.  I wasn't laughing at him you understand but just accepting what was happening and that acceptance made all the difference.  He isn't doing it because he's in a mood, he isn't doing it because he's cross, it's just part of who he is now and as a friend pointed out it may be that he's in his own world and hasn't properly heard me.  I'm very sure that Ash's first thoughts in a morning are more likely to be 'what day is it?', 'what am I supposed to do next?' or even 'where exactly am I?' rather than 'Jane's going to say good morning in a minute and I need to respond appropriately'.  The thing I'm very sure of is that the act of writing it all in this blog is the thing that made the difference.  Sharing those thoughts with all of you made it all so much clearer in my head.  I hope it helped you too.
