It was sooo nice to feel my normal texture today!!
Hi All!
Yes, Sage, as you probably know from the audiotape, atoning once one HAS let a destructive emotion run amok is probably the FIRST step in the process...heck that's more than I EVER did before! ...It's sometimes still a valuable tool.
Just yesterday we were shopping and I was feeling headachy and spacey, irritable...CJ had the cart and followed me up an aisle to get some clear nail polish...I headed around the corner and away...CJ nowhere to be found...backtracked...no sign of him, then there he was.
I said "Are you TRYING to be annoying?"
Which he pointed out was rather unfair and confrontational. It took a bit, but I agreed and told him how lousy I was feeling and took it out on him.
As good as catching that "judgement" before it set in? NO...as good as catching myself before making that statement? NO...better than arguing my point and NOT seeing his side...YOU BET!!!
...It's sometimes still a valuable tool.
