Linda, long time no hear! I trust all is well with you and your sons. Things are going well in Foreverland, thanks for asking. Job, 2 times and Bright, thanks too for the well wishes and for checking in.
Vacation was great, even though we both got bitten up by sand flees on the beach… and I got traveler’s diarrhea on the final day. D’oh! We did some snorkeling, gym workouts, spa massages, fancy dining, drinking, and just hanging out relaxing/reading at the beach or pool. The best perk of my wife’s job is that we can take these all inclusive trips at great discount.
“Slowly progressing” is a good way to put it, Bright. My wife is still searching for meaning and purpose, but is comfortable telling me of her discontent. It helps that she knows I'm present for her whenever she opens up to me.
We do almost everything together, but do have a few separate friends and activities. While it has improved, our physical relationship is not as far along as I would like it to be. But I understand why, and will continue to be patient. I think it’s normal human nature to always want more, never be satisfied. The trick, I think, is to be happy with what we have and where we are.
My wife and I make such a great team and have such a long history together that there is no place I’d rather be. THIS is Love!
Bust On, everyone!
