I am grateful to the Almighty for the successful "baby steps" that I took this weekend.
I note that I'm saying "baby steps" because change is a process and I am in the beginning of the process. I remembered all weekend that one MUST if one is to SURVIVE, LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN'T SERVE YOU.
I did quite well this weekend. He did begin his mantras whenever I was there, looking for a reaction. He wasn't given one. He was given a quiet little voice instead. Only once did I say that he needs more activity. Truthfully, I know what he wants more of. That is to control me and try and make me as miserable as he is (his own words). That hasn't happened.
Thanks to yoga, I avoided two arguments. One was about making a shiva call to the Rabbi upon the loss of his mother. The other was in Norman Levy Park. Getting rid of that which didn't serve me, really helped me. I told him to decide what to do about the Rabbi, but that I would make a shiva visit. I walked to the top of Norman Levy Preserve alone and enjoyed the moment without him, which was fine. It was awesome up there.
I must say that thanks to the changes in me, I did have a wonderful weekend. I found that whatever I did without him, which actually was everything, I really loved.
I will continue to make baby steps as I move along through summer. I promise to keep my quiet little voice no matter what happens and knowing him, I'm sure that he will try. FAIL, BUT TRY!!!!
I am grate to the Almighty for my successful baby steps this weekend.
Tonight, I am attending Dawn's RESTORATIVE YOGA class which I am really looking forward to.
