#1. For the first time since Dan and I split, I am going out with a friend on a night that I have Jake. Of course he is totally fine with it, because he gets to hang out with his cousin. I feel guilty!!!! It's not a date - it's my friend Kim and I venturing out to the Rochester Fair. But still....it's a huge step for me.
#2. I think about...ok..analyze people and relationships. I reflect back on things and take in the things I see around me. I hope they don't mind me mentioning them, but my ex-in laws, Russell and Beatrice are quite a team. I've wondered what it is about them that gives me a sense that there is true love and devotion out there for all of us. Russell and Beatrice have been married for a long time - and they STILL hold hands when walking together. They STILL leave little notes for each other on the kitchen table before/after work. They DO NOT take each other for granted. They TREASURE their moments together and their time on this earth. And...they have a very strong, educated faith. I think people can learn a lot from couples like Russ and Bea.
Thanks for checking in. I'm going to cheat a little on the diet and enjoy some fried dough tonight ;-)
