Mach1 - you are one hell of a guy. Thank you for this wisdom!
You asked what is my one thing for today. I think it may be that I may be finally putting up the white flag, putting my gun down. I will probably need to continually reinforce this, in other words I can see how in certain emotional extremes I may be tempted to pick the gun up, but I do realize that's my nature. My fight response has always been strong in me. Time to evolve here.
Your point about how things we say like "I've changed" being really about what WE want is so accurate. I just did that yesterday morning! I didn't see that in this light then but do now... have to keep this in the forefront of my mind.
