What I Learned About Me


I know that I am difficult to live with. I always have been.  So, why am I surprised that is one of the things I learned, again, from this recent trip to the Yellowstone.



I also do not make choices well. This aggravates other people, I think because they are afraid that if I do not make a choice, I will resent their choice, when in fact, I usually do not. I am smart enough to say this is specifically what I do not want to choose, at least.



Sometimes, I tell someone these are my preferred options, either is okay. That does not seem to satisfy people who want me to make a choice.



The other thing is that when I do make a choice, my companions do not always recognize that I have done just that.  It is as if, since I do not always express myself, when I do, my choices are not always recognized.  I appreciate that and understand that.  It really does take some discernment to understand that I have made a choice.



I knew for a year that we were going to be making this trip, and I am not happy with myself that I did not work at getting in physical shape for this trip.  But, that does not mean I cannot work towards getting in shape for the future.  Hmm, let us see what happens.
