Weekend thoughts and blame
Lots of alone time this weekend. A lot of opportunity to think, perhaps too much.
Took myself to see Blue is the Warmest Colour. Excellent film, so much to take in. Seeing a relationship break up from afar was particularly provocative for me.
I've been sinking lower than I should lately. Must keep remembering...
*focus on my own actions and relationships, don't worry about others'
*focus on the present, not the past or future
And now a newer one... No blame. I don't make much time in my life for blame in general; it is unproductive. In fact, that is one of the big differences between my wife and myself. But with all these emotions that can swell up, blame can feel good. Relationships in particular, however, are so much more complicated than single actions. Intertwined actions and reactions can be impossible to pin down, and sometimes -- they say -- the relationship runs its course.
*let go of blame... Hers, his, mine... All are at fault and maybe none are.
