New Post for Wifey

[The Wifey]

Gardener,

Thank you for the man's perspective. Here's your $.02!

This whole thing is kind of like a dance. I love to dance, but this one is making me dizzy.

I will tell you he was very concerned when I was laid off from my job. I could tell he was thinking that if he proceeded with anything legal that he would have to pay me lots of money.

I never said or intimated such. I didn't expect it. I didn't say I was independent, I showed him.

Now that I have applied for an awesome opportunity, career job, he seems to be more relaxed. His eyes were as big as saucers when he saw the canvas letter I received in the mail. For civil service, they canvas the eligible candidates in case some of them would not want to be appointed to a certain location, or at the salary offered.

I am trying not to get over-excited, but this would really be a career position that I could be in for years.

I don't know where we go from here. But each day is a new day and I'm still grateful to be here. I wished the bomb had never fallen, but my personal growth since then is an item on my list to my husband that I am grateful to him for.

I challenge anyone reading this - Can you write out a similar list? Can you look past the hurts and the negatives, and write out what you are grateful to your spouse for?
