 grey sunday
Marriage has got to be one of THE hardest things to maintain.  Double that if you have kids together.  How I have not failed is beyond me.  Sometimes I wish I was better off alone.  No, I actually believe that.  Because it's all too easy to think for just yourself, isn't it?  Where am I going with this?  I have no idea.  Things are starting to look a little better, but.. doubt has been entered into my mind.  I don't mean to be sketchy, but considering my past and present with him, it's got to be normal.  There is a delicate balance to things, and I think I do well not to let either side tip.. however.. sometimes you just want to slam the scales down with a loud echoing thud.  And throw it across the room :) GR. 

I'm sure all normal emotions that go with marriage.  The elders here will think I'm an infant.. just going through the phases.. but .. they're still to be gone through.. and I am definitely caught in the current. 

Sometimes our differences just really catch up to us and test us.  Cultural differences.  This last trip to Asia, I just really can see how NOT traditional I am, nor do I want to.  I want to run as far away as I can from it.  The key is to be positive... cough it out, and carry on as if the world was nothing but rainbows and butterflies.. but... sometimes, it's dead branches with thorns and dark brewing clouds.  And sometimes you just sit there, to bask in it.. and wait for the next day.  It is what you make it, and right now my mood allows it to be dark and grim. 

Maybe that's part of finding the balance to things.  To take in the dark as well as the lovely.

The complex cloud that forms when we are on the rocks, brings in storms of some horrible evil.  I just need to find all the ways to push them away or huddle through them, before it gets to that point.

Without darkness we would never really appreciate the light... Storms in relationships work much the same way they do in nature... in nature a storm will brak off all the dead branches from a tree... so that the dead branch no longer takes from the tree the vitality the reast of the tree can use... that branch then falls to the earth to become one with the soil to help feed the tree later in life... kind of like out growing pains. Whe have a bad spell and untill se let go of it and let it fall away we can not grow and learn from it. Maybe this has nothing to do with what your talking about... and maybe it does.

but you are a strong and loving person... and I wish for you that you can find peace in your heart soon... much love....

thanks babe.. wish it were a spat. I like to think I weigh problems in a long term sense.. if it has no long term affects, then I don't make a deal about it.. but if it does, then I find ways to address it. And I suppose the problems I'm seeing, look like that of long term.. and it frightens me. But, some things take more observation and time.. so, let's see.

thanks for caring.. lovesxx

LolaV...I know where you are coming from. 26 years of marriage and I still struggle. I suppose it is just part of it, though it is the worst part. I agree with Douglas's analogy of the tree and the branches. I like the way you described huddling and waiting out the storm. I think that might be what we all do. May you find peace amidst your storm. Lean and lean on. (((hugs))) Nice post!

peace :) shemelts

There is no doubt differences can drive a wedge into a love, they can challenge our fixed ideas, they halt our flights... but it is the demand of each for the other to become more like them that drives the wedge, not the differences. The challenge is how do we expand our limits to accept the boundaries which opposite forces demand. You are a soul of love, you will conquer this dark.
