We have all been there, annoyed that our partner hasn’t sorted out the litter box or kitchen counter…or done the laundry ..or the shopping or picked up his/her socks off the floor.
We are steaming…all upset.
We finally work ourselves up in such a state that we snap at our loved one over something that he or she couldn’t possibly know that you are so unearthly pissed off about.
You think they should know..but they don’t. They love us and would never do something in the sole interest of pissing us off (and If they would I suggest the two of you seek counseling asap).
Why do a lot of us more often than not reason that our souse really knows what to do but are just ignoring it because they are lazy.
Is it really our own subconscious that is giving us a hint about the person we, ourselves, might be under the surface?
Judging others by ourselves?
What would happen if we made an effort, a real effort, to live in the present? Expressing our thoughts, concerns, fears and joys to our loved one(s) on a daily basis?
What would happen? Would there really be any space left to trot around on our own getting all worked up about socks and litter boxes?Or would we express our wishes when they occur and then avoid all that messy festering?
I found myself applying my own logic to myself yesterday.
I love my husband for knowing me so well.
I love myself for wanting to know myself..and never giving up the quest to do so.
Until later.
