Divine Parenting

As usual, this need kind of snuck up on me.  There I was, busy as a bee, doing-doing-doing all day long, not realizing the ‘what’ in the doing.  I realized that some things seemed never-ending, such as keeping up with the maintenance of the household when there are two beings we caregive, and three other adults in the house.  What I didn’t realize was — nothing was coming to Completion.

My household duties were never complete, my babysitting duties seemed never-ending, and nothing was ever in it’s place.  None of my projects were moving forward, action steps taken were not addressed by the other side, and I felt things spinning out of control.

When I sat in the energy of this (after a good cry, of course!) I realized — I need Completion!  I need to see an end to each and every action that I’m taking, and an ending to everything I start.  I need to see others completing as well – a type of accountability for their initial actions.  I also need to stop completing things for others — which has been causing a drain in my energy.

I didn’t realize, until that moment, that I needed to see the crumbs cleaned off the counter when someone in the house decided to make a sandwich without a plate.  I needed to see a dish moved from being used, to being cleaned, to being put back in it’s place.  I didn’t realize, until just then, how many times per day I needed, and still need, Completion!!

I questioned this need because of the relationship factor.  Did I need to see an ending to my relationship?  The intuitive response was – no.  What I need to see is a confirmation of the continuation of the relationship, and THAT brings Completion!  Each time my relationship status is confirmed, I feel a sense of Completion.  With Completion comes relief.  With relief, comes a respite from stress.  And all of this leads to a healthier existence.

Completion.  Who da thunk?
