So, I got up, took a walk in the dark, came back in, sat down and read for a few minutes, then heard my wife moving around in the bedroom.
I went back to check on her to make sure she was ok, talked her into going back to bed, and even laid down with her to encourage her to return to her sleeping.
Then as I lay there, I got to thinking:
Why did I do all of that?
Was it for her benefit?
Or mine?
I knew the answer, but I did not feel good about it..
It is so easy to get self into the way, while trying to do "good" for others.
Truthful answers are not always satisfying.
And they show more than I want to about myself.
The reasons why we do things show more about who we are than the acts we do.
She got to sleep, and I got to think about what took place.
And WHY..
Oops
