Thanks Cate . It is definitely making me do things I don’t normally do . I am finding though I’m very much in the middle ground with a lot , a bit like Goldilocks with baby bear . But I’m learning a lot about myself . I’m doing something for me for a change .
Yes Marsia I actually chatted to my husband about this last night in terms of things we used to do and don’t anymore . For example just heading off on a Sunday drive spur of moment . We discussed how stressful our lives are and that he is so tired from driving . Think we might try now to shake ourselves up a bit this year
Most people quite like being asked for help sometimes - both because they appreciate the unspoken acknowledgement they know/can do somthing others don´t/can´t and because most folks genuinely enjoy helping others if it´s not too much of an effort.
Yes and so few people hate to ask .
That's so wonderful! I feel the same in my relationship - that I need to initiate more, and when I do, it helps the relationship so much, and it brings out connection and working together again to have a nice life together. I know a lot of that is from writing to you about stuck places in relationship to our husbands. And getting healthy together has done wonders, as well. I was dancing with my daughter in the living room and J came and joined us and we all had so much fun. When we were first dating, J and I would go dancing in the gay bars in SF, and this brought back that kind of joy of just being happy dancing together.
- It is huge. It should be the norm for everyone but rarely is. Here's to a more relaxing & engaging life xo
It's feeling easier so let's hope it lasts.
Me too Emily but I didn't this week except for a banana on Tuesday and some black grapes today . Just a small pot.
Getting there slowly .
That sounds great!
