Disappointed in Myself
I disappointed myself today. I broke the major life rule I had been trying to keep at the forefront of my mind... "I can only change myself, not others." It is the same sort of story you may recall earlier:
My wife and I had difficulty in communicating effectively today. In a nutshell, I said something to my wife that she took as criticism (was not meant to be) and snapped at me. I have an extraordinairly difficult time dealing with people (especially those I love) when they snap at me. So we had a fair amount of negative words.
It was all pointless and all due to our not listening to each other. And I failed at my vow to only change myself. It took most of the day to work through the feelings and emotions.
It was a rough day.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
