Welcome 2017!
Yes, I know, I'm
late. January is not over yet, so all is still good.
We woke up to 2017
instead of ringing it in. It was a quiet day and we are good with that. I
believe in "start as you wish to go on", so I cast on a new knitting
project and Sarge ended up cleaning his pistols. Things we both enjoy doing and
hope to do more of during this year. We had Black eyed peas and ham for dinner
for luck of the new year. Other than that, it was movie day. Nothing
fancy.
The last couple of
weeks have been a bit stressful for us. Transitions with college for me and job
for him. Hopefully, soon, I will be in that job place so I can take the stress
off him. Between us though, I think we are stronger than ever.
Any major event
can put a strain on a relationship. We have faced huge moves, job changes,
deployments, and my weight loss surgery. Every time, we talked our way through
it. We have had our ups and downs, but by communicating along the way, we stay
on track, together. Each time we are told by someone that the act is statistically
supposed to break us apart. I think huge changes in life can break some people
apart. I also think that their relationship was not strong before the change
and therefore could not withstand that change. If you are able to see the
change, communicate about it, and see the positive in it, then you should be
able to come out the other side much better than you were before.
We have survived.
Hopefully we will continue to survive.
When I met him, back in 1995, I never thought we would be together
this long. In two weeks, we celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.
I would say yes all over again.
I hope you feel the same about the one you are with.
Stay positive and communicate!
