Swimming with the kids on the weekend was so amazing.
What it reminded me of was a motorcycle trip years ago where these little kids swam across this lake we we were at....
⠀
Sounds like a good idea we thought.
⠀
We should follow them over to a rope swing.
⠀
Turns out this was a terrible idea.
⠀
The kids were able swim across no problem and I had to be picked up by a guy on a canoe because I was struggling so bad.
⠀
This feeling of helplessness was felt again swimming to a dock on the weekend with my kids.
⠀
Just like in my life, I thought I was helpless.
⠀
Couldn’t talk to my wife about things that was going on at work.
⠀
Couldn’t talk to my wife about how scared I was in life in general.
⠀
Absolutely frightening thinking about 17 years with the same person and you feel like you can’t talk about your feelings.
⠀
How helpless I felt.
⠀
Where in your life do you feel helpless, but if you just let go and communicated those feelings to explain what you are doing....
⠀
And just tell them you don’t know what you doing and reach out for help?
⠀
How would that change your world?
⠀
Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY’S TALE FROM THE TRENCH.
