Not Trusting the Process Part II
Linda had asked me to explain myself better on this entry from a few days ago. I guess when this topic comes up I think of something I call the abused syndrome. No matter how bad a situation may be I am used to it. In a way I am "comfortable" with it. I know everything that will happen. There are no surprises. Something new means change and that can be scary. Even though it can be a good thing it means I must let go of those old things that I am so comfortable with and that can be scary. A few months ago I went through this. My Mom decided to give me a car to replace my old Toyota which was 17 years old. I was nervous. I knew my car. I had it for 11 years. I knew ever inch of it and every problem of it. It was dying. Now I had the chance for a newer car and I was not looking forward to it. Her was something entirely new. What if it had problems. I was out of my comfort zone and I didn't like it. It took a lot of work and really until I had it I couldn't enjoy it. The reasons for that are another story. Well here I am a few months later with a newer car that I love. I am glad I have it, but it was hard letting go of the past.

Hey Mike...I didn't mean to put you on the spot or anything, I'm so sorry! You should have just ignored me and gone on! I didn't mean to bring up any old stuff! Forgive me? But I do thank you with all my heart for expaining things. You are a great friend! And I promise never to put you on the spot again!
Love, Linda
