Well, I was just as strong as I ever have been. And it felt good. Earlier in the day, she asked what my plans were. I told her my list of things to do, and then that I was going to our favorite coffee shop. Said she was welcomed to join if she wanted. She replied, “that’d be nice!” Well, she got busier than expected and came into the kitchen as I was putting away my lunch dishes. She said, it’s already 2:00 and I haven’t run or sent out work emails. I said, “yeah, the day did kinda get away. I’m heading for coffee.” She replied, Ahhh, no, not without me. I panicked and didn’t know how to respond, so I said, you want me to pick you something up while I’m there? She said, nah, I gotta get busy...with a really sad face. Thanks for offering. I said no problem and walked out. It felt good to GAL. In the past, I would have made her feel guilty or not gone by myself. It actually felt good, and I could see her wheels turning. I think this is the Freedom part from the Ruiz book...

I’ll keep posting!
