I don’t know why, since I tell people all the time that I love them, that after reading the “Guy in the Glass”, telling myself that “I Love You” felt weird.

Maybe I just feel self-conscious, or that it just that it is so new to me. It’s not that I don’t feel deserving of my own love, but I just never thought of it that way.

I am used to giving to others, but not so used to receiving graciously. That, has taken some practice. But now this new assignment has been thrown at me.

I have been diligently completing the assignment, but not without feeling a bit uneasy when I tell myself that “I Love You”.

I knew that when I decided to complete the MKE course, there would be times when I would feel uncomfortable. This is one of those times.

I see a lot of my father in me, and I was a grown man when I first remember telling him that I loved him. I think I remember seeing the discomfort in his eyes, but after a while, he was more accepting. I know that in time, I will be more accepting of my own love.

Meet Michael Bordyn

I’ve always loved the outdoors and exploring. Growing up in Florida, I earned a degree in forestry from the University of Florida, and worked in that profession for 15 years. Subsequent forays in sales and customer service drew me into a desire to help others. My wife, Millie and I have been married for 21 years, and spent several years living in western North Carolina, and upstate New York. A brief visit to South America inspired us to move to Ecuador, where we have been living in a completely different environment for the last year and a half.
Still exploring…….

  • I love your blog Michael! It reminds me of the very first time that finished the poem, looked myself in the eye and said, “I love you”. I just laughed out loud! In a good, kind way. I don’t think that I had ever said it to myself, never mind out loud! It was good.
    Keep it up – it gets easier, more enjoyable and more believable!
