Still hopeful for some pleasant surprises

[SirPrizeMe]

I am reading Susan Page's book - How One of You can Bring the Two of You Together. I'm only starting.

In the beginning she suggests building empathy and goodwill toward the other person. There's homework "exercises" involving writing. Write your complaints and how you feel about the situation, then flip the complaint around and write from your spouse's perspective. Sometimes we can climb inside the other and see things even they do not recognize (like guilt or shame or regret etc).

I've found that to be helpful today.

One day at a time!

I'm going skiing with my boys today!
yeehaw!
