I liked your story! Your post made me think of doing changes to bring about change during this time.
I have realized that sometimes changes only have to be something small and don't even have to be anything that has to do with us personally.
Something I did was paint our family room. This is something I have wanted to do for years, but was hard to do with the kids. I finally made the decision I was going to do it. I arranged child care and set the date. I told H the only thing he needed to do was carry the ladder up from the garage for me. Initially, he showed no interest in the project. But, then he started asking questions, including what color I was painting it. He ended up helping me pick out a color.
Once the room was painted, my H surprised me by how excited he was about it. Kept saying it made the room feel different. And since he spends a lot of time in there (where he sleeps!) , it seemed to make him happy and even energize him.
He then began making a to do list and doing some things around here. As things are getting done and our house is changing, I see a slow change in him as well. More contentment. Some pride in getting things accompolished. Talk about a butterfly effect!
Think of something fun and exciting you can change today!
