Lets Faith It

so in this tuesday night group we talked about 'getting on different buses' the visual is standing at a bus stop and one comes up and you get on. The buses are sets of thoughts that you entertain that are self defeating or distracting you from enjoying what is going on in the present. The goal is to be aware of the buses but to stop getting on them. Or once you find you are on one to get off and not get on any more. Well......after a couple of days of talking with Greg about the bus thing and noticing how many times I get on in one day, I felt pretty worn out. I came to the conclusion that I have a slick transfer system. Once I find myself on one bus, instead of getting off the system I simply transfer to another bus. We discovered that Greg has a predictable bus route as well. So we talked about that and how our bus rides keep us from accepting, enjoying and focusing on our relationship and taking care of ourselves.

Luckily, Elaine and Kristen took the kids on an overnighter and day long stay at their home. We were then able to have a couple of really important break through moments to feel the present and let it be and work with it and let our feelings teach us important things about ourselves that we have not been able to hear. Together we discovered some important ways to help eachother grieve some significant things. These were important moments together. I think we are both feeling that change is always within reach.

Another important visual is that each of us has been given a plate of delicious food to eat. We set it on our lap and proceed to get on different buses instead of sitting and enjoying what we have been given. When we look again for the food it is gone.
