THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE

It is a day-trip today. My man and I are going sightseeing in the countryside!

When I was first with my lovely boyfriend, I was very angry. Paranoid too. Everything was about power and rage for me.

Why?

Programming.

It’s hard to break patterns of behaviour when you’ve been so intrenched in them, for so long.

Why?

Security.

Most don’t want freedom – that means taking responsibility as an adult.

Most people want predictability – even if it means being miserable because it’s familiar.

It was last night that my boyfriend announced this lovely surprise of our day-trip and shortly after writing this I will head out.

I used to reject such spontaneous gifts.

Why?

Control-freak here.

The beautiful thing is, I learn to accept these happy instances, the more peaceful I become, the more grateful I become, the more open to experience I become.

Sounds good right?

Yes.
