In some ways the blog has evolved into a "this is what I'm doing now" blog... particularly since we opened the store, but I'm trying to change that and get back to my roots of flaying back the layers of life and having a good dig around.<br /><br />Thanks for continuing on this path with me!Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-7590087026102511562013-06-20T14:15:48.181-07:002013-06-20T14:15:48.181-07:00Thank you for your kind words, Erin. And I agree ...Thank you for your kind words, Erin. And I agree that one must let go of what others think in order to achieve a full and total actualization. It's easier said than done! Maybe if I was a hermit I could master it after a decade of meditation, but when you're of the world and must interact with others... it gets a little trickier.<br /><br />Even though it's trickier, I think it's very necessary. I have to relearn the importance of setting boundaries, not only for myself but for others and their perceptions of me.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-74871914501669873192013-06-20T14:12:55.853-07:002013-06-20T14:12:55.853-07:00Christine, I agree with you.

It seems like I should turns this into my talisman... at least for the moment.<br /><br />I wish that life lessons could be won like merit badges and that once you've mastered a concept, you can wear it proudly and always have it. More often than not, I find that life lessons must be relearnt periodically... as we continue to grow and change.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-88018757671756131302013-06-20T12:42:35.063-07:002013-06-20T12:42:35.063-07:00What a wonderful post!

I really look forward to your posts as they are always so insightful and really cause to question myself and my expectations.Shai Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625514249141386180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-45035756118550614612013-06-20T11:34:39.647-07:002013-06-20T11:34:39.647-07:00How very adroit, Andrew!

This is a particularly apt reflection, "I think where the friction arises comes from the intersection of my own expectations of myself and those of others." I know that I have had to let go of what others perceive of me because their reality of who I am is not what is true. Only I know that. You always make me think and that is a beautiful thing. You are a beautiful soul. Enjoy the day.

A wiser person than I once said that having an expectation about something doesn't make it better if that thing happens but it does make it more of a disappointment if it doesn't. The main point is that we all have to take responsibility for our feelings and actions. Nobody can really make you feel good but you can choose to feel good yourself.Stories They Tellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162254176855830546noreply@blogger.com
