Karin- Thanks for sharing this. I particularly appreciate this observation: "Without this insight, I might have chalked the family vacation up as an unpleasant experience but instead I happily shed some old, ingrained resistance." And you did this during a family occasion (which shows a lot of self-discipline and responsibility). The other thing about resistance is that it usually projects an equal amount of output in the opposite direction (whether that's complaining, or the effort to understand the situation). You have wisely chosen to be on the positive. :)
Thank you for your comment. I’m always amazed at how much life show us if we are willing to look and I like what you said about resistance. Giving in makes everything worse.
Thank you for putting into words my own experience. I plan to share your words with the many people in my life i think could benefit from beautiful wisdom you have shared. I see you!
As the youngest of three older brothers and a creative father, I can relate! My childhood nickname was “Missy” so there you have it…😀
And yet you now shine so brightly.
Uh-oh. I crab about everything. It's the source of my humor : )
As long as you don't expect it to solve problems :)
