Numerous

Normally, my posts are pretty well focussed on a single thing. I have a point and I make it in one of many ways. Today, I am going to ramble a bit. First, Climate Change and Water are following me. Just because I have to do something at work does NOT mean that I want to hear about it at traffic stops, at the movies, in plays, in books, on the news, on television shows, from random people on the road, from students who seem to be inspired by vague facts in their textbooks, from Blogger.com that has decided its next Blog Action Day should be about.... wait for it... Climate Change!! Leave me alone!!

Second, I've been thinking of something recently. With regard to a specific relationship in my life. I didn't realize until recently, that I have made one humongous mistake after another in this relationship. All of those mistakes, have been due to one single assumption, one single pretence that both this other person and I have perpetuated now for a few years. The blame falls on me for this though, for I assumed far more than the other did. When you have held onto a belief for a really long time, like a decade or so, then it isn't all that easy to let it go. It's like asking people to refute gravity. Something that has been there for more than half your life is more a fabric of your being that it is a mere conviction. But, people say, the first step to recovery is the admission of your problem. So that is what I am saying here, I have a problem. And I find, that I am closer to letting go than I ever thought was possible.
