Let there be spaces in your togetherness. --Kahlil Gibran
Sometimes it is just as important to know when to leave others alone as it is to know when to talk with them. We all need to be alone at times--to think, to work out a problem, or just to be quiet with ourselves. This is especially true in families, where we're often surrounded by others. If we tune in to our other family members, we can develop sensors that will let us know when they need some time alone. Part of good communication is knowing when not to talk, too.
Can I be sensitive to my family's needs for privacy today?
I wasn't going to post this one, but as i sat at the computer my wife came in and wanted me to do something else. She had 2 dogs with her who were rough housing next to me. I told her later, take the dogs with u. I guess she figured out I needed space????
space is great. alot of times i will let my husband go to a meeting and i stay home . read this board or get a grip as i call it, when i think about my behaviors thoughts and look at what needs to be changed. without this time every day i wouldn't be as effective in my life. the best part is not being afraid of me anymore and can be alone.
