A Word On Parenting
The past two days have been characterised by success in the field of relaxation, with the consequential river of health that relaxation brings. This success has come about despite the distractions that usually derail the relaxed state that my mornings usually begin with. The dream that I had early this morning probably contributed to this.
I dreamed that my Dad was still alive and was sitting in the den with my Mom. It occured to me in the dream that I could basically count on my parents for a few important things while I was growing up. My relationship with my parents certainly had its faults and resentments, but it occured to me that having imperfect parents was a lot better than having no one to give me guidance in life and that I should not be so pessimistic in my thoughts concerning this relationship. I woke up feeling thankful for the parents that I did have growing up in life. So, I guess the message here is that we should be thankful for whatever parenting and mentoring that we were given in life, regardless of how many unresolved issues are still grinding within us.
With forgiveness,
I.C.
