Expectations
Sometimes I really am disappointed in myself because my behavior does not always line up
with my values.
In fact a couple days ago I truly gave my peace away. I went to see my son in his new
apt in Orlando, Florida.
No lie, the visitors parking lot is about 150 yards from the one entrance to the building and
once up on the 3rd floor another 150 yards to his front door through hallways.
I thought to myself what was this kid thinking? Who in their right mind would spend 15 min
walking just to get inside his apt from the parking lot.
Also the elevator was out so I had to carry all these lounge chairs cuz he doesn't have a couch
yet up 3 flights of stairs. I was not happy. I had a few choice words about the situation which I
expressed very loudly in the stairwell lol.
Once in his place I relaxed and settled down and did my best not to express my frustration of
why he chose this apt. Not my business.
I did a little venting to my Mom later that night. She said "deek, it's his first place and he will learn".
Not gonna lie the thought of him forgetting something in the car and having to go back down or
carrying groceries in once a week gave me a chuckle.
Yep he will learn.
But this is not about him. It's about me realizing I am powerless over other people's choices and
it's just not my business.
I have to remember that people in my life are there for a lesson or a blessing. I definitely learned
yesterday that my son is a grown man, making his own money and he is young and maybe he
likes walking.
It really just should not concern me. He lives 2 hours away and I will maybe see him once every
2 months or so.
If he is happy then I should be happy. Right?
After a 2 1/2 hour ride home hitting all the traffic leaving Disney World I was grateful to pull into
my parking space, walk 7 feet, get in my apt and collapse on the couch.
He was happy and healthy when I left him and I should be so grateful.
Perhaps 10 years from now we will both have a little chuckle about his very 1st apt. But by keeping
my mouth shut I avoided a whole lot of unnecessary drama.
Any drama we need to avoid today?
