New Glasses Clearer Vision

I wrote this blog at the end of September, but for whatever reason, I am just now able to release it. I hope you enjoy it.

Hey everyone welcome back! If you have ever worn contacts or glasses then can relate to the title of this blog. When you get a new pair of glasses you get to have that crystal clear vision as if you are seeing the world for the first time. However, this isn't about any new glasses or contacts at all. I just wanted to share something personal and the progress of therapy. It is amazing how when you open your mind and look at perspective it truly makes a difference. Today before my husband left for work I asked him to take the smaller car because I may need to leave to go somewhere. It is easy to take the bigger car with the kids. He left and I was busy getting the house ready for the week you know washing clothes, washing dishes, sweeping, and mopping. Melody had taken over my phone so I had no idea I had a text message. When I finally checked my phone, I had a text from Myon stating that he had forgotten to take the smaller car and that he was sorry. I looked at my phone and laughed. Why was this funny you may ask? It was funny because I knew that he hadn't taken the bigger car on purpose and left me to pack the kids in the sonic, but he had truly forgotten and out of habit took the bigger car.

Two years ago I would have been PISSED at him! My thoughts would have been racing and how could he forget. I had literally just told him. Now, what am I going to do? I can't go where I need to go, all because he was so selfish. I laughed because my perspective is soooooo very different now. I was so stuck in a negative mindset that I couldn't even see a simple mistake as just that, a mistake. My mind automatically made him my enemy for no reason at all. Now, I can totally see how he could forget to take the right car. I laughed because it felt good to see my husband as a human, and not an evil man that took the wrong car on purpose. My perspective changed, and I am so grateful. Sometimes it's easier to portray someone as a bad guy even when a person isn't trying to be, but life is so much easier when you can see them for who they truly are. Therapy has really paid off for me in this aspect. I try really hard to look at things from another person's perspective, and not just my own. I am trying to be understanding, and not so critical. It feels so good. It can be truly amazing when you try to understand a person for who they are, not who anxiety has created them to be! As we approach the end of the week, I hope you allow the new glasses to give you a clearer vision of someone important in your life. One Love, D'Que
