I had an epiphany
Sep. 17th, 2006 at 8:16 AM
a few days ago and due to the activities we've been engaged in for the past week, I didn't have a chance to write it down.
It dawned on me (have I mentioned I can be a little slow?) that I was focusing on the parts of my relationship which didn't work and making them worse by doing so rather than nurturing the parts of the relationship which nurtured me.
I admit that I don't always make the best relationship decisions. However, there were things about J which attracted me to him from the moment we met. I'd shoved those things aside recently and that was a bad idea.
J is a good man with a good heart who can be hurt easily because of that good heart. I stomped on him and then wondered why he backed away. I've been working very hard to remedy what I've done and to make sure he knows how much he means to me.
If the title of this blog sounds familiar, it is because it comes from the title of Viola Johnson's book, To Love, to Obey, to Serve. Her order of importance for the life of a servant speaks to me and her influence can be found in much of what I write.
