I have been really intrigued about what new things would be coming in to my life, this month. And, I have not been disappointed! Movement is afoot and I’m loving the changes - well, mostly.
David is back to “Outside the House Paid Employment” as compared with “Working from Home Paid Employment” and that’s fantastic. He is able to have all those social elements that happen with going ‘out’ to work, as well as the mental stimulation which comes with bigger projects and more stimulating environments. With David’s new ‘Beginning’, I realise that the time has come for me to stand on my own two feet, again, which is a bit daunting from an emotional perspective as David has been instrumental as my main (and often “only”) support person during my grieving process. But, it’s a new Beginning for me, too.
Of course, Beginnings can only come after Endings, and our ‘ending’ is our time together. I rely on David for so much, more so when the kids were little and I was living a ‘less empowered’ life. After a few months of him being readily accessible and available, it’s taking some adjustment for both of us to find the new path through all the ‘stuff’ now in our lives so that we can still have ‘our’ time.
Our priority, this week, and maybe for a few more days/weeks after that is to find a routine that allows us to have some quality time together. Life is incredibly busy and we are going in different directions so “Our” time is going to be a bit hard to find. We will, though, because one of the things we’ve learned over the last couple of years is that time for US is of the utmost importance if we want to look forward to a harmonious relationship with each other now and once the kids have all left home. Ahhh.
