Not much to say other than I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with H. It was just the two of us. We went out Wednesday night and slept in on Thursday. It was great. We took our time and didn't eat until around 6:00. We fixed way too much but enjoyed each other's company doing it. After we finished eating he played his guitar for me. He did this Wednesday night before we went out too. He said "Since you tell me I never play for you, I brought my guitar along." I was thrilled. In the 8+ years we've been together I can count the number of times he's played for me on one hand. That's really sad considering how often he used to play. He wasn't playing much if at all when we met, but he always talked about how much he played and loved to play. I always tried to encourage him. He told me his interests changed and he just couldn't get back into it. After we S he started playing again because he didn't have much else to do. He's been playing a lot again. When he played for me yesterday it made me cry. He was concerned but I told him not to worry it was a good thing. I told him how talented he is and how glad that I was that he is playing again. It makes me so happy because I know it is something that makes him truly happy.
The rest of the night was pretty uneventful but very nice. We watched a movie, ate some pie and just enjoyed each other's company.
I feel so blessed to have him back in my life and to give us a second chance. I am determined to be the person I should have been and I can see the changes in him too. I have realized you can change others, but only by first changing yourself. I truly believe Mahatma Ghandi's quote, "Be the change you want to see." It governs my life now.
