I set my 3 foot toss around social environment during the call last week. I set the intentions to 1. Invite a friend over, 2. Take a new class, and 3. Get in touch with 2 of my cousins who live in the same city as me. Well…… tonight we are having another couple over for dinner and to watch the hockey playoff game (go Pens, eh)! This is the first time my partner and I are doing this and we’re excited. I also texted my one cousin to get together (with lukewarm response) and the other cousin and I had dinner earlier this week. It feels refreshing to connect with the people I care about and I like the feeling of those connections strengthening as opposed to staying stagnant. I’ve also decided it’s time to overcome the fight my father and I had at Christmas. This is a 6 foot toss for me, but since I’ve made good progress on my 3 foot, do I spread my wings a little further?
I love everything about this, specifically all the action you are taking around this. As I was reading this I thought of watering a plant so that it grows (can you tell I’ve been doing yard work;) Our connection and relationships are the same. And usually we have to take ownership and lead if we want connection. As far as a 6 foot toss, if it’s come in your consciousness to heal it then you are ready. It’s not always about the response we get but about our action and intention to make things better.
I was talking to my mother for her day and I asked if my dad was available. He wasn’t readily available but my phone rang about an hour later and it was my dad’s cell. I told him what I needed to, regardless of what his response was going to be. His initial response is exactly what I expected it to be. I continued on and said my piece. His response wasn’t far off from what I expected, but that’s not what it was about. It was about me being an adult and addressing my wrong, apologizing and committing to do better in the future, and putting it behind me in a healthy way. Thanks, Bev, for pushing me to place 3 foot tosses I to my life.
