I was not going to waste my day by brooding over this situation, so I took my bike out for a long ride on a trail by the water. My bike and I got reconnected and as I rode further, the calmer and more empowered I felt. I took my banana break by the water and watched the waves, the birds, and the wildflowers. And it suddenly "clicked" with me--that I can choose to not be enmeshed in this madness, that I don't have to live in this craziness if I don't want to. At that moment it just seemed so simple to me (an epiphany?). And as I watched the water and nature and calmness around me, I realized that this is what I would be missing today if I had chosen to stay inside and brood and try to "make up" with my parents for what they perceive to be a "wrongdoing". They may still be on the crazy train, but I can get off it.
AWESOME. AWESOME. AWESOME.
And can I just add: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful post & image of recovery in action.
This calls for a dancing banana....or three!
