In Bolzano Italy, there is a museum that houses the remains and
belongings of an ancient man called affectionately by the Italians,
“Frozen Fritz.? Seriously, this Ice Man was discovered in 1991 by some
hikers in the Austrian/Italian Alps.
The authorities thought that the man was from the last century at
first, but further study shocked everyone. He was from the copper
age?..3000 years before Christ. The museum displays all of his clothing
and tools, well preserved in ice all of this time. They were even able
to discern what his last meal was by evaluating the contents of his
stomach.

Bless my man’s heart! He brings me flowers, after nearly 4 years together.
You know that special kind of flowers?.the for-no-reason flowers.
I was on the phone (happens a lot) and he came home after golf
yesterday with three pink roses in a bud vase. Not just a bouquet from
the store. No, he took time and picked something for me.
I can’t help but reflect on how cool that is. I choose to realize
how happy he makes me feel at times. Knowing he took time to think of
me while he was away from me builds my confidence in my ability to
strengthen our connection by thinking about it in a consciously
positive way.

As the meeting went on?past the scheduled ending time, I felt my stomach clutch into a knot. Knowing my man was waiting for me and yet wanting to stay until the end of he meeting, I found myself feeling tense and uncomfortable.
I knew he would be upset and I find myself bending over backwards to
keep that from happening. I felt pressure in my throat. Wait a minute
here. Haven’t I felt like this before? Only a thousand times. Wait
another minute, how old am I? Thirteen?

Not even now.
Yes, I have found a man who is more that I ever hoped for and yes, I
am ridiculously happy these days but truth be told, I live very
carefully most of the time. The age old thought habit driving the need
to be perfect is a tough one to overcome.
I am challenged this day to examine that position. Do I really
believe that no one is trustworthy? Where did that belief come from.
Hmmmm. Yes, there have been a few disappointments along the way. And
yes, a few people I thought were solid as the rock of Gibraltar had
feet of clay but in their humanity, weren’t their errors in judgment
right in line with who they were at the moment?
