Lunch with Son

So lunch today went really well. He treated, and the the entire time we were relaxed together and in good conversation. He is a talker, so I simply listened while working at the things that I know are important - being open minded, not judging, not asking too many questions, respecting the boundaries are the main things on my mind going into today's lunch. He lives not far from me, however I had not seen him for about 8 weeks after he and I had some friction early this year during a time when he had to stay with me for 6 weeks after he sustained a shoulder injury. We bumped heads a little while he was here. When he healed up and went back to his place, I knew (per my daughter) that I needed to give him his space, therefore that is exactly what I did. Growing and learning every day and blessed to be able to work on transforming me. It isn't always easy, but I am committed to the process. Just wanted to do some sharing!
