Feels Like Home

A couple of days in Dumaguete then a few more in Bacolod proved one thing more than anything else, I need a place that feels like home. My condo here in Cebu feels like such; however, I do need to lower my expenses or increase my income.

My anxiety levels increase when I begin to think of packing and moving, selling my refrigerator and finding accommodations in another city. I’m comfortable here yet, my discipline at this point seems as if my comfort may actually inhibit my productivity. I’m working to sort all that conundrum but I’m certain clarity will manifest soon.

I’ll elaborate more on my excursion to Bacolod in 2020 - A Better View. One of the chapters entitled Butterflies can be read by licking the link here:

Today, Sunday, January 12, 2020, I am grateful that:

I returned to Cebu safely. It actually feels like home, especially after travelling for a couple days. Punctual, safe, and short flight(35-40 minutes) and we touched down in Mactan.

Even when travelling, He revealed His greatness. More details in Butterflies, read it free here.

I’m no longer in a place that’s emotionally compromised. An interaction with “Doc” during our taxi ride from the resort yesterday was quite revealing. He’d apparently had his feelings hurt. The difference between what I said versus what he heard left him sore and disturbed. He explained the reasons for his feelings and I offered and explanation and an apology for any miscommunication. I further explained “stupid” his interpretation of what I’d called him six times during two days was very eliminated from my vocabulary. In my past, my codependent nature would have been enveloped with the need to make sure he was happy and o.k. Today, I did my best to insure clarity with the misunderstandings and offered an apology for any misgivings. No further action required on my part, as everything I needed to do was done.

How do you clear up misunderstandings?

Do you have any misunderstandings you can clear up today?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
