When I was single and in my 40's, I told my friends, I was looking for a relationship with a nice easy flow, a give and receive relationship, where conflict was not the main event. What I found interesting is how many of my single friends were looking for a partner who challenged them. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a partner who had an opinion, but I was not longer looking for a challenging man to deal with.
Last weekend I was in Canmore for the Folk Fest and decided to duck out for a nice long walk along the river. As I was standing on a bridge, looking over the railing at the river, I thought of the term " going with the flow". While I was watching the river, I realized that even when you are going with the flow or with the current, there will still be challenges. There may be a big rock, a fallen branch or something even...
