Sent D off to camp this morning where she will be leading teen girls. She is a strong, resilient, beautiful young woman and I’m very proud of her. So it’s S and I. We are doing very well. Some extended family are in town so lots of family fun planned. I will carve out my GAL time. Dancing tonight, kayaking tomorrow. Enjoying my friend group. Healthy social and fun. Wearing my wedding ring is a helpful reminder of my reality. At dances some people have asked about my wife. I don’t mention much (they are not in my close circle of trust). I just say, “this is for me. I have finally decided to learn to dance.” Have done some social things outside of dance with mixed small groups. Not dates. Going to a birthday party next weekend from that group.
Enjoying some steaks with decent red wine in my price range recently off the grill just for me in the evening. I love good food and I’m getting such satisfaction from cooking. Been moderating my red meat for health but nothing quite like it.
Have had very encouraging dr appts recently that confirm the health progress I’ve been making and inspire me to take it further.
Definitely thinking of how much I would enjoy a bike for the rest of this summer.
