Ok, no posts for a while, but the monotony of sanding and painting has been therapeutic.
This brings back memories. I did the same and yes things like this help in many ways.

This project is endless and I know there's another one waiting behind it.
Perspective? Good...you'll have plenty of theraputic sh!t to do to help you along the way.

And of course, W is watching and evaluating from her perch.
Ok, so focus on your sanding and painting Daniel son.

MC last week was again frustrating. I "dropped the rope" with every effort I could muster.
Letting go isn't a struggle it's a release. It's freeing.

W jumps in and says she's not trying to change what's out of her control. W says its calmer because she is not releasing the anger. And to use Grit's analogy, I'm sitting there riddled with arrows and almost sickly smiling at how far away she is.
Apparently this weekend tested the limits of her therapy. One of the kids of one of the endless list of arch-enemies she has, came into contact with our kids. Before I reached the end of sentence one explaining what happened.....KA-BOOM! Now three days of fallout.
Wait a minute.... I thought she said she wasn't going to do that!
As far as the whole riddle with arrows thing goes...Perspective? Where's your f'ing armor dude? You should know enough about at this by now to not let her arrow's stick.

I've now begun to dread getting my kids because I know I'll have to relay what's going on when I have them.
Says who? Slap a smile on your face and tell her they had a great time and don't don't it in a disrespectful way. Be genuine, make it genuine, hell make sure your kids do have a great time with dad.

Detaching completely from her anger would be such a luxury. This is like sprinting through a minefield clutching live hand grenades to escape spear-throwing natives, uphill, barefoot, calling for help with a horrible stutter.
Perspective?
It's all about what you CHOOSE to make of it. How you CHOOSE to see it. How you view yourself and the world you live in. Nothing more.
