Relationship


Observations about traveling together…

July 25 - (Wilma writing) As we are regularly and for great lengths of time confined to small spaces together, we are experiencing a unique opportunity to evaluate relationships.  While it is not always easy to face our less appealing ways of relating to each other, the close quarters do offer us the opportunity to improve on our communicating abilities.  

You may think I am trying to find a gentle way to say we cannot stand each other any more.  This is certainly not the case, we are embracing the learning opportunity afforded us through this travel adventure:  We are developing a greater appreciation for each other and understanding the implications, each in our own way, of how our relating style influences the response of the others.  It is stretching us, but in a positive way.

I think without a doubt, what you are doing as a family will bring years of good memories and feelings of togetherness....
