Fine Tuning My Life - My Children's Love

Fine Tuning My Life
I have been doing this as long as I can remember: See a path... See all the differences, but down the path a ways, the similarities arise. I work very hard on the issues, have awakenings and then find an opening on the other side. A crossroads. I choose my new path, See all the differences and then repeat as above. When I am almost to the awakening (the darkest part of the process) I think I have gone down the wrong path 'again'....

This creates emotional situations with me that are difficult to manage but, manageable. With help from others and a box of tools I have acquired along the way. So now looking back, I see something I had not noticed before. The 'patterns' the 'process' the 'roller coaster' of highs and lows is just how my journey goes along in my own way. I am making progress each time I go all the way through a part of the journey, I am learning along the way, and then the next time I am faced with a challenge, (even when it seems like the Same one) it is really a higher level of the lesson. Like 'fine tuning' a musical instrument.

I can tune my guitar to a generally acceptable place and then it takes someone with experience to fine tune it for me. In the case of life in general... each new journey is another lesson in fine tuning and I truly believe (with all my heart) that there is a lot more progress than we are ever completely aware of. Each new adventure allows me to learn a bit more and to gain the experience I need to fine tune my own guitar. ( or my life).

My Children's Love
I received an email from my grown son and remembered when he was 12.... He taught me everything I know about computers. I talked to my daughter on the pc to pc free calling and remembered the day she was born.... I saw her babies over a web-cam and saw her as a child all over again.... She taught me everything I know about Loving mommies.

A grown child/parent relationship is woven with past/present/future elements that are far too complex to put into one line.... They (MY Children) have taught me everything I know about Unconditional Love.
