SubscribeDear Friends –
So, the other night I had a dream – it wasn’t a nightmare, though it could easily have been. I’ve been working on issues, and it’s interesting how my subconscious works…
Something had happened to the Evil Overlord (EO – husband) and his wolfish presence in my life wasn’t there any more. And I was sad about that. but i was still going, my own person. And I’d replaced him – with an English Mastiff, a HUGE dog breed that resembles Winston Churchill. I’ve never even considered adopting something that large… in my wildest dreams, until now.
Someone asked me why I’d replaced the EO with that dog – my answer? “They’re a lot alike – stronger and more muscular than I am, totally devoted to me, slightly overprotective, and stubborn!” Then I woke up.
Later, I told the EO about this, a little worried that he’d think he could be so easily replaced by a dog. Ha! I should know better by now. I came into the bedroom later to find him standing on the bed, walking on it in circles three times around and then curling up. It took me a moment to put the reference together before i broke up laughing. Yup. Who needs a mastiff when you’re married to a wolf?
Things I learned from this – I really HAVE become my own competent person. The EO’s been a big part of this over the years as well. I am finally realizing this on a cellular level, instead of having to remind myself of it on a daily basis. What this means is that the business ideas I have are really going to work. Because I have the confidence to do it. (And I can always replace my husband with a dog that looks like Winston Churchill!)
Well, I remember this old saying:
In your teens, you don’t know and don’t know you don’t know.
In your twentys you don’t know, but you know you don’t know.
In your thirties you know, but you don’t know you know.
In your forties you know, and you finally know you know.
It has held in my life so far… I’m rather looking forward to knowing I know
Now I just need to pick an RSS system so I don’t have to run myself ragged reading everyone’s stuff.
