The piecing forum is enlightening, a reminder that there is no quick "all better", you know? And I just don't know if I could do this again, but, I have surprised myself A LOT on this journey...I never knew I have within what I do...so I am not assigning any thing or path to the future. Just trying to make the most of each moment.
No trips planned yet, my oldest and backpacking bud will be fighting wildland fires during the season, not sure about the younger two...but with them I can always car camp. W might do more car camping...backpacking? idk...but I am content with car camping from her.
As far as BB, she is more the aerobic/Jane Fonda type...but she DID finally start doing my prescription for her triceps...kinda cute walking around doing tricep extensions with her "blue chic weights" ...but i have no expectations. BB even for me is focussed more on "function" for my life activities rather than gracing the cover of a magazine...once I look good nekkid, of course...
I really wish she wouldn't put so much on the looks thing, I don't...I care more about her being happy and glowing from within and me being important to her.
I hope we find some "couple friends", but that is farther down the road I think. Maybe not, I just don't know.
Yes, who they are is quite the mystery...some of "old" spouse, some "new", some teenager, some alien....guess we just have to go into it with a beginner's mind?
And this processing feelings (anger and such) that we have kept on hold for so long....sooo hard not to express them inadvertently...but as I told W when I had a little issue reaction regarding her PA a while ago..."it's only been a week since I found out, please give me time to adjust and process"...and she agreed and said I was doing well with it...I think they at some point get that there is stuff unsaid with us LBS, that we've been holding in, and can, in bits and pieces, allow and forgive us as well. What do you think?
Have a great weekend, rH! T^2
