Nothin Spectacular just Ordinary Splendar

I played cribbage with my husband last night, after putting kids to bed, going grocery shopping, making my lunch, and convincing Joel that we've worked enough at 10:30pm we played cribbage. I enjoy my husbands company so much when he gives it to me and we make the time for it. Two nights ago we picked raspberries together and played badminton. Joel is a person I am working to be friends with. I am learning to accept him as a person and not just someone responsible for meeting a need. I am working on respecting him in language and action especially when we are in a disagreement. I want so bad to just be able to give and receive love with him without pain and hurts and betrayals and insecurities to take over that free flow. It is a slow and meandering river, but it is flowing and the damn is being demolished.

I'm glad you're letting that river run, my friend. We all love you and hate to see you miserable.

Making the choices you have made shows that you are giving love in the most unselfish way. Soon you will feel that love returned (if not already).

Treasure the ordinary, without it the spectacular is nothing.
