Saturday....October 4, 2008

Yesterday we did ABOLUTLY NOTHING....sat by the pool....watched the boats go by....watched the waves come in....today we were to do a tour but we decided to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....and that's ok. Maybe tomorrow we will do ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING....or again, NOTHING.

Last week we were in Listening Heart, a Wings Seminar (http://www.wings-seminars.com/) for couples....in the seminar, the couples develop a Commitment Statement together....we did ours almost 20 years again, in the same seminar, as participants....here it is:

Dave and Linda Wood's Commitment Statement...

We are one…

We commit ourselves to creating a safe environment within our relationship where we can exist in open and honest disclosure.

We commit ourselves to share our truths and to listen to each other with an open heart and without judgment.

We commit ourselves to getting below the surface and sharing our really deep feelings and dreams.

We commit ourselves to celebrating our differences as they are an asset to our relationship.

We commit ourselves to seeking and reaching collaboration when at cross purposes, recognizing that the feelings underneath are the same.

We commit ourselves to having peace around Jonathan’s death and keeping his memories alive in our hearts.

We commit ourselves to exotic travel.
