And with that being the case and this day being another day full of relational challenges all around me...I'm considering taking up the study of Zen and abandoning the relationship gig and becoming a monk. Just joking.
You should have been in the house about 30 minutes ago when the daughters mixed it up with each other over a relationship they all have with a friend. WOW. Everybody got hurt just a little bit deeper because they know not how to love as of yet....only defend turf and self interest.
Maybe some Zen music would do? While looking for some I actually found something more appropriate.
Lord, make me an instrument of peace in the midst of the storms swirling around instead of a participant that tosses more accelerant on the fire.

The more I venture into relationships, the more I seem to come away not liking myself so much. Not because I don't like who I am...but because I don't feel strong enough to express who I am with others yet. I always seem to make a mess of things. Even though there are small victories, it still just seems easier not to even try...at least right now. I know that I am changing...growing... becoming. I just wish I was "there yet."
But where is "there" anyway?
Carolyn, relating in a healthy way seems to be the most difficult thing for us to learn.
