Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. See I know it. I also know how to do it.
I have a loving, caring wife who doesn't refrain from giving me suggestions about self care. A couple of weeks ago I blinded myself in my right eye. I wasn't wearing safety glasses and it happened and I knew what she would say...so I sucked it up...let her say it and healed. Yesterday I wasn't wearing safety glasses and blinded myself in my left eye (kinda balances things out huh?) and I knew what she was going to say when she got home. (How'd I know that cactus tree sap could be that toxic...okay hindsight justifications don't help). She got home and went into helpful mode and I got thru the night's pain and swelling and tearing and sinus leaking...It was much better and much much redder this AM. We had breakfast and my wife went into the safety glasses alerts and compresses and that stuff and I went into sarcasm...not nasty sarcasm...just your everyday "blow it off" sarcasm and God put a pin in my humility nerve center just before going to my morning home group. The reading was on humility and the solution for what I had done rose up highly contrasted and firmly fixed in my spirit. I got home just before she was leaving to spend some time with a sponsee and made my amends. She didn't gloat (I watched and she didn't even test it out). "Thank you for the amends" she said and was gone after a peck on the lips. She let me off the hook I had put myself on and was off to do her day.
What a baby I was...okay enough gotta go and change my diaper and see if my pants will still fit.
no advise Jerry just hugs! I'm still hoping we'll see each other one day. My friend just invited the wife and I to go with he and his to Maui next year. What kind of trouble can we get into if I can catch a puddle jumper to Hilo? :P
Sorry Dean they call this puddle the Pacific Ocean and then Maui is only like a 20 minute flight in a good airplane. There are a couple of those around here still. We can see Maui from the west side of the island and if you can get into trouble like I get into trouble your guess about what and how much would make interesting listening for me. If you do get this way I can warn everyone that we'll be spending some time together...LOL
Let me know if you make the choice to come over. (((hugs)))
