W and I met with our tax guy last night. Our 2013 return came up with a balance due of less than $10, just the way we like it. Yay!
Through this entire crises, W and I have always lived and done things together. Immediately after BD things were extremely tense between us. You could feel it, and it was like that for quite awhile. It’s getting to be more and more noticeable how comfortable we are becoming around each other. It’s been a slow, gradual change that is difficult to notice, unless I stop and really think back to how things were many months ago.
Still not a lot of touching between us, but I think that may come with time. W has to feel comfortable enough to do it on her own, there's no way I can force it. Besides, I only want it if it's real. I just gotta be my confident, comfortable self. Allow her to see the passion I have for life. Tune into her, be fun, and open up as she warms up to me.
W likes to add quotes to the bottom of her emails. Inspirational messages like today’s:
The most difficult times for many of us, are the ones we give ourselves. ~Pema Chodron
I like what I’m seeing.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
