Grace, Love, Compassion, and Faith - It's A Choice

[JustStunned]

I’ve got a cleaning job for ya I’ve been keeping up on the basics, but fell behind on others.

There comes a point in this journey when you no longer need to patrol the borders. It is nice to have less tension.

You are wise not to mind read. Actions not words. I will not begin to speculate.

I will relate that there were several points on my journey when XW would be pleasant, then press for advantage, then press hard. She wasn’t getting what she wanted and if it went on long enough the rage was palpable. Very much like a child.

If you can remain detached enough and maintain bearing the tension may die down, if not walk away.

I know how this sounds, but sometimes I visualized one of my children having a temper tantrum. I probably appeared condescending then, but I didn’t really care how I appeared at the time. I cared about getting through the engagement with my honor intact.

I understand you may choose not to engage. Sooner or later you’ll have to share some space. I generally choose to meet things head on and get them over with once I’ve decided to do so. It is getting to the decision that is usually the challenge for me.

Decide what is right for you, for the Val to be, then execute.
