Delegating, Receiving, and Blessings
I just returned from a restorative 5 days at Houghton Lake in Michigan with my oldest son and his wife, my oldest daughter and her husband, two grandsons and a myriad and assorted group of marvelous other teenage men and woman! My!! A change of pace for me....and most welcomed.
I return rested, renewed, refreshed and re-grounded. Time away from whatever might be going on in ones life gives a marvelous new prospective. I can see and hear and feel clearly again. What comes in is no longer weighted. What goes out feels easier and lighter. I asked for help. And it came easily and readily. I offered options and they were appreciated and lovingly received. I feel blessed. Happy. Hopeful. And in a new place of peace.
Life is good when one feels loved and feels loving. It takes a village......not just to raise a child, but to keep each of us on a steady, safe, and joyful path. Please remember these very wise words, please remember my heartfelt experiences these last months. We really can do anything, when we feel safe and loved. It behooves each of us to be intentional about keeping connections clear, simple and open. You need your partner! Your partner needs you! You need your family and friends. They need you.
I know all too well the option of withdrawing and withholding. Shutting down and being quiet can feel safe, comfortable, and familiar. In the time of significant crisis, being quiet is only familiar. It isn't safe or actually even comfortable to cut oneself off from those who want to care and want to connect. I am so struck by how important it is to risk reaching out and opening my heart. When you let someone else take care of you, you are giving them the gift of feeling good about themselves and the gift of love and connection; also called intimacy. In to me see. Intimacy. Beautiful!! Soft and sweet.
My partner with cancer is holding her own right now. Blessings. We are going to plan time away for the 2 of us. I had time away for me. The relationship needs time away as well. It will be so very lovely for just the two of us to share decisions, share the excitement and challenge of traveling someplace all be it close, still new to us. Just looking to each other for moment to moment contact, caring, and intimacy. For so long now we have shared our lives with MANY others. The two of us will be a gift to each other, and will nourish our relationship.
You need that as well....time for just you and your beloved. Time to focus on each precious moment and not at all consider the future. Time to breath.
Come see me and we can talk if you would like more words of wisdom about embracing life in a joyous, breathtaking way even in the midst of chaos. It can be done: carefully and consciously. Being intentional about sharing your love for each other and your delight in learning and seeing new things/vistas/opportunities together.
I send love and blessings to all. Hugs, Nancy I look forward to seeing you and your partner, or just you or just your partner. All is good. N
