I Apologized for the Behavior I Did

Tuesday, January 8th

During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today.  I then heard an internal voice say, "I apologized for the behavior I did."

My three days of insomnia caused me to become very emotional and easily argumentative in the days to follow.  I ended up getting into two verbal disagreements with my wife Kelli this past weekend.  It was mentally exhausting and frustrating for both of us.  When I become this way, it is extremely difficult for me to stop engaging and let the topic go.  My wife was brilliant.  She suddenly, yet peacefully, approached me.  Kelli offered a long loving hug.  I gladly accepted and desperately needed it!  I was just too embarrassed to ask for my need to be met, due to childhood trauma.  I assumed my wife would see me as weak, by requesting such touch.  This is not her natural response (offering touch), but she knew I needed it to calm me down.

My son Mason witnessed this disagreement.  He then took notice of my wife and I engaging in a long and silent hug.  He checked in and asked if we were OK.  I then apologized to both of them.  They both accepted my apology.  I honestly shared what I feel and experience inside and what I need, when I am lacking good sleep.  They both stated they understood and appreciate heads up.  Then my son asked, "Do you need a hug from me?"  I was caught off guard.  His sweetness and sincerity made me smile and laugh easily.  I said, "Of course!"

I am proud of myself for having the courage to share my feelings and make my requests, especially when I am vulnerable.   I am very thankful for Somoya sending me this message today.  Although I know others forgive me, per history, I don't forgive myself.  I sense that Somoya wants me now to forgive myself and move on from this incident and others.  I have informed my loved ones of my needs and I have owned my behavior.   I am forgiving myself.
