Today is my 20th anniversary. Needless to say my situation isn't what I had hoped for on this day. Thankfully I was able to have a telephone coaching session yesterday. I discussed appropriate actions to take. Do's and don'ts.

My coach agreed that the following message that I texted to my wife would not go against the DB game plan. This is what I sent

20 years ago today, I married my best friend. I don't know what the future has in store, however, I do know that August 31, will always be meaningful.

Her reply, "I agree, the date holds good memories and will always be meaningful". Have a good day at work.

I am unsure what king of response I wad expecting, if any, but I am happy I did receive a vague but positive response. I will continue to treat today as any other day. There has been no I love you's, no gift, no card. I have never forgotten our anniversary and have always given her a gift and taken her out to a nice place for dinner.

Tonight I am preparing a dinner that I have never prepared before. Part of the 180. Not doing anything is very difficult for me.


Don't count the days, make the days count.
