Not the kind of fighting, necessarily, that is divisive, damaging, and/or detrimental but the kind of fighting that each of us needs to stay in our relationships - be it the marriage one, the parenting one, or the friendships. We all need to have the fighting spirit in us to make sure our relationships stay current, that complacency doesn't infect them, that they remain healthy and maintained. I'm grateful for the fighting spirit that resides within me. Sometimes it is deeeeeep down and I have to really dig to find it but I always do and I'm grateful for the gift of the fighter in me because I want my relationships to thrive not just survive.
