I am grateful to the Almighty for making this day a success.
I am a lot calmer knowing that I don't have to speak. I wanted to see if I could be home for an afternoon without planning anything and with minimal conversation.
I achieved all three. I was calm. I stayed home all afternoon. There was minimal conversation. I even made tofu for dinner. I got to read, listen to yoga music and light my scented candles.
He complained and I listened. I didn't speak. He complained that he was bored. I asked why he didn't make a plan. He said, and this is very telling about the nature of our poor relationship, that I made the plan and he complained. I listened.
He said that next week we would go out east. Didn't I hear that last week?? He said that he might call a broker. I listened.
It is bothering him that other people will inherit his money.
I found this to be a most successful day.
The key is just not to answer his bantering and I've got it!!!!
