I am grateful to the Almighty for so many things. One of them is that I have learned the art of stillness.
Last night I went to Restorative Yoga. Dawn said something that will help me this summer. It is a mantra that I have called, "DOBE." It means , "DO BE HAPPY!!!! BE STILL."
He is never going to change. However, I have. I see that every single day.
He has not given up the assault process. I'm supposed to react, but I don't because I know what's coming. I'm getting rather good at this. I suspect that he thinks that he will tire me out. That won't happen. I haven't reacted to anything. For that will take me down a road that I don't want travel. He has told me that Barry confided in him that he has problems with Jessica. Whether true or not, I chose not to react. I learned that I don't need a condo with him so he can find more people to pit against each other. When he says something like this, I always say that I have something else to do and I will get back to it. I never do.
My friend Doris's brother died. He told me that he wouldn't take Rhonnie in the car because she falsely accused him. I didn't say a word. I didn't give my usual dissertation. I was quiet. He told me that Doris hated her sister-in-law. All I said was that people don't like everything about each other and then changed the subject.
He can't get me to react and discuss anything.
And then I was off to yoga and my wonderful Sisterhood meeting.
I am grateful to the Almighty for learning this.
