Struggling Well With Life

I was off for a week, and I have to say - it was so good to be away.  Sometimes you don’t know how depleted you are until you sit for a bit.  And I sat for a bit.  Terri and I spent a few days out of town celebrating 20 years together, we hiked, relaxed, and you know we ate well.  It was just what this heart and body needed.  It was nice to just be a couple for a few days. We are at a new place in our marriage.  For the last two decades most of our efforts have been poured into the girls, and at times we worked a lot harder on parenting than partnering.  This past year or so, we have found ourselves a lot less needed in the day to day activities of our girls, and have had time given back to us to be more of a couple.  Last week away was pretty cool, I was driving back from the mountains with my bride excited that after all these years we still like each other, and actually want to spend time together.  Last week was refreshing,and encouraging.
