It is for sure the longevity of it all. The familiarity feels safe and warm. It's also the belonging. When my kids jump in our warm bed, or the grandson needs a cuddle, there isn't a second thought.
It's also the hard work over the years looking forward to this time. A time when work is less, money is more, and the kids are grown. Taking 25 yrs to get to the point where we can come together again as a couple and reinvest ourselves as lovers and companions.
I do have some determination in me, but I fear that sometimes holding out can hurt the sitch. Holding out can't mean holding on...there is a fine line there.
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
