So early in the morning, and the backsliding is beginning. Stop it, Kevin. You've had a decent week, don't start this kind of defeatist, negative, bs thinking.
Once again, you're already looking for a "spiritual awakening" in your wife -- you need to be patient! A few days ago you were talking about "standing for your M" even if it takes 50 years, and now a few days later, and you're feeling at the end of your rope.
What fun are you planning for this weekend?
Also, remember that the card and pic for your W was supposed to be given WITH NO EXPECTATIONS, and now you're talking about "planting seeds". Stop it. If you can't give the card with no expectations, then don't do it.
BTW, you've been giving very sound counsel to others on these boards. Go back and read some of your own advice, and then apply it!
