You know how you feel when you are learning something new? Or when you are doing something for the first time? Isn't it similar to what a flower must feel like when the seed breaks open to sprout? Or similar to a snake trying to shed its old skin?
You are just bursting out at the seems.
It is like that with our children. You can sense it. They start rubbing up against us in a new way. Sometimes, they challenge old boundaries. Sometimes, they challenge the rules.
It feels like that in relationships too. All of a sudden, whether from a move, an illness, a new job, a new title, a retirement, an empty nest, a death, a birth, a new direction, a new hobby, there is this shift and we rub up against our spouse or partner in a new way.
If we aren't receptive to change, friction builds, communication breaks down, our relationship falters.
Things can either get better or get worst.
Stick with kind thoughts. Be patient. One day, this too shall pass.
