I discovered today, once again , that I become more and more my mother but even more my daughter shared that she has discovered that she is becoming me. The better parts I think.
I also discovered that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
And the VERY BEST thing I discovered is that my Mate brings out the best in me by simply allowing me to see an honest reflection of myself in him, supporting my efforts in personal growth and enlightenment, and not feeling compelled to "fix" me himself.
"Si vis pacem para bellum" if you desire peace, prepare for war.
