On a positive note, I have been picking up on the little things that my wife has been doing. I was told not to wait and wait for the big things but to take the little wins.

I just had received a job interview for a position I have been really pushing for for the last year. I sent her a text to tell her, and she returned with some very kind words of encouragement. She told me how proud she was of me. She asked if there was anything she could do to help me prepare. She told me that I was so capable of doing much more for my company.

I told her that I appreciated her kind words and that they meant a lot to me. I also thanked her for believing in me. She said that she always believed in me and what I have to offer.

Friday morning, I had to drop of my son on the way to work and my interview. She sent me another text on the way to work wishing me luck and said that she was confident that I would do great, She said that I looked very handsome and hoped I felt as confident as I looked.

Those were the most positive words I have received in some time and were enough to set my mood for the rest of the day and had a great interview.

On the way home, my wife called and asked if I wanted to pick her and my son up and go out to dinner. Of course! We had a great dinner out, she toasted me to a great interview, and shared dessert with a shared spoon.

It is times like this that give me hope. The little things. Our lives and relationship is in a very complex web right now, but words and actions like these are still capable of happening.
