Totally procrastinating on all I need to get done today ...
More impressions of Retrouvaille (one week into this journey):
-There is so much significance of putting your thoughts and feelings down on paper. After you write it, you either acknowledge and take responsibility for it, or you cross it off and rethink what you're communicating. Either way, by writing as a form of communication, you minimize reactivity (and that can be futile or dangerous in a M).
-By understanding your partners feelings on a deep and intimate level, you will naturally learn to appreciate them for their uniqueness and vulnerability. This creates more love. Consequently, it shows you the "why" in their actions and behaviors. Those daily disagreements and conflicts begin to have less importance as you gain this valuable insight into who they really are.
-By understanding your own feelings more clearly, you naturally begin to explore the "why." You learn to have more compassion for yourself as you look into your own complexity and vulnerability.
-Laughter is paramount in love. If you can learn to share humor in the little things and even the greater obstacles in life, it makes it more manageable. The connection deepens when everything is not taken so seriously. Laughter reminds us of a newer and easier time, often in the earlier days. Things were joyful and easy then.
Ok. Back to life. Must. Be. Productive.
