Good Morning,
Today is Sunday and the coffee is hot and I am ready to write.
Being the Sabbath for many, lots of people will be in a hurry to get to church and maybe after that some fried chicken, I have just a short message.

Leviticus 19:18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, you you shall love your neighbor as yourself.: I am the Lord.
All too often we go through life setting high expectations for others and how they interact with us. And when they don't meet the bar or exceed it, we let them know it. So today go into a room with a mirror and ask yourself if you are perfect? If you answer yes, you are a liar and incapable of being real. If you can't be real with yourself, you will never be real with others.
No one is perfect and in all honesty they really don't have to live up to unreal expectations. To be real with other people, we must be ready to have them let us down as we let others down. Once we get the hard cold fact into our heads that we are not perfect and no one else is, we can live a life of relative peace and contentment. Most people really do not change when confronted with the need to change. They might do pretty well and some really do, but remember what has become a life long habit is something hard to break. Don't set expectations lest some be set for you. Be real!
So for today, seek peace without conditions. Love without expecting anything in return.
Have a great day,
Marty
