What can attachment theory teach you about yourself and your relationships?
Confession. I struggle with attachment styles and I’m looking to change mine. It starts with an assessment you can find in the article I reference here: “How do you feel when your partner doesn’t respond to your text right away? Is it easy for you to express your feelings to friends or loved ones, or do you struggle? Do you stay in touch with exes? Worry your current partner will leave you?
How you answered those questions can offer some insight into your attachment style. According to the field of attachment theory, each person has a unique attachment style that informs how you relate to intimacy: secure, anxious, avoidant and a small subset who are anxious-avoidant.” Source: What can attachment theory teach you about yourself and your relationships? : Life Kit : NPR

The path of the inner truth
“God calls all of you to take the path of the inner truth–and that means taking responsibility for everything that’s in you: for what pleases you and for what you’re ashamed of, for the rich person inside you and for the poor one. Francis of Assisi called this, “loving the leper within us.” If you learn to love the poor one within you, you’ll discover that you have room to have compassion “outside” too, that there’s room in you for others, for those who are different from you, for the least among your brothers and sisters.” Richard Rohr

No More Lonely Nights
Only true Paul McCartney fans will know this obscure, sweet song. I guess that makes me a true fan…
Jug of Punch
I sang this song to me boyos as a ‘lullaby’ when they were young. My favorite verse is “What more diversion can a man desire that to sit him down by a snug, turf fire? On his knee a pretty wench aye and on the table a jug of punch”.
