Hiya Martha - I remember FISH - must dig it up for a much needed revision, thanks for the tip. These 4 principles are well worth remembering every day.
Well, we got home late last night, have plans for a lazy weekend, relaxing and just hanging out. Maybe catch a movie. In the meantime, I have started reviewing my threads over the past 12 months. I'm not quite ready to go back all the way to the begining, for fear it may stir up unwanted memories. These past 12 months at least have been about healing, I think. Plus its time to polish up what I want to shoot for in 2006. I see a new job on the horizon, and it may well mark new beginings in other aspects too.
Back in November 2004, I resorted to taking each day as it comes, no expectations, little by way of planning, just making the most of each day. Seems to have carried me through.
NG comes to the same conclusions as I do about our challenges. I note that sometimes we approach things at a different pace, and in a different style. I must remember that results matter, not how we each get to these results. There is room for difference.
My honest assessment is that I'm still a conscious-competent in this space. I have to keep reminding myself that NG does not process things the way I do, and sometimes takes action before I have even realised what is happening, I just need to go with the flow. Or if I'm ready to make a move and he is still pondering, that should be OK too. Time and space are good things in a relationship, especially one as ours, where we spend no more than 20 hours a week not in each others' company, on average - we both get to work from home a lot
And now I must get back to my Saturday. Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend.
Slowly
