What does it mean to respect someone who doesn't always show you the same kindness? Where is the line between showing grace and mercy and standing up for yourself?

Reflecting on the Past Five Months
5 months of no drinking. 5 months of taking more steps forward than backward. My life is by no means perfect, and it never will be, and that's okay. Life doesn't have to be perfect. I can only make the most of what I have. On some days, it is simple enough to keep on keeping on. On others, it can be incredibly difficult to not hold grudges against people. I once heard a kind woman say, "Bless them, change me." Not so easy to live out. A lot of the time, I selfishly what to be like "Bless me, change them" because they were rude or had a (in my opinion) false sense of entitlement. *laughs* I need to take the lead of that kind soul and try to instill the "Bless them, change me." Simple. Not easy. One helpful part to looking up and having a good attitude would be my job and co-workers. I love my job, and I enjoy the company of co-workers. We talk, we laugh, and... every now and then... we vent to one another, but mostly we talk and get to know each other.
It is still unbelievable about how much in such a short period of time has changed for the better in my life. There is no room for taking it for grated though. Humbleness is key. Honestly is key. Asking for help (when needed) is key.
