Developing Self Mastery

You may have noticed that I seem to have burst back onto the page recently. A superbly energetic tryst has me expanding and growing, as one would hope to do from thier experience. Onward! Upward! Air!

I am not alone in my growth. Greg too has been undergoing his own transformation. His, however, is more about trying to heal over of some deep childhood wounding. His biggest challenges to living a fullfilled life stem from a root fear of abandonment. This fear is not typically evident in his regular comings and going.. but if something happens to trigger it... it festers and infects all of his interactions. He recognizes that his reactions are irrational. He is not proud of those times when he has let his insecurities get the best of him. And he is activly working to reframe this self destructive mindset by being mindful, catching himself as the emotion arises and trying to respond rather than react. He is also going to begin journalling. (He should also consider taking a martial arts class in the fall.. because right now he should be fishing)

Reflecting back on his growth.. is this the little boy I married... in my head I sang that like a song in fiddler on the roof... sappling to sunflower... no he is not.. He has grown significantly in our many years together. In all the right ways. And I know he will continue to do so.

He is a very good man and Im happy standing by his side regardless of the directions we are facing.
