slacker!

I have been a bit of a slacker lately. We got Netflix, so movie watching has replaced writing as did Max’s birthday festivities. For shame! I have lots to relay, so I hope to catch up this weekend.
Stay tuned....

Love and happiness

I just had a big realization today. It feels like a break through, but whether or not I break through, only time will tell. I realized that only I can be responsible for my happiness. I cannot rely on others to make me feel happy. I cannot truly pursue happiness if I am always striving to be right or to be in control.

I know this seems like common sense and something that I logically know to be true. However, when seeking safety from pain, it’s easy to look to someone else to try to make you feel better. In the same vain, it is also easy to blame someone else for your unhappiness. There is a rawness to this pursuit in that it makes me feel vulnerable. It will require that I dig deep to finally expose what happiness is for me and also allow others in my life to do the same. The vulnerability sneaks in because I don’t have control over the other’s pursuit, nor can I anticipate what this might mean for me in the long run.

Starting today, I am going to let go of a few things and refocus on being truly happy. This includes allowing others to do the same. Be gone foul control issues! Hello, happiness!
