Love Love Love

Im in love

It is almost 18 years since David and I tied the knot and I was reflecting today upon all the ups and downs we have been through

We are in a really great space, together, at the moment and it is so nice just to be enjoying each other. Swapping stories about our day, scheming together about what we want to do when the kids are grown, pottering in the garden, planning the final details of our holidays.

Being in love is so much more fun than being disgruntled... and some times I find that i go on for weeks being disgruntled before i finally say - this isnt working can we do something about it, and we reconnect and start liking each other again.

Its funny to me how easy it is to keep that loving space going once we get back on track. It also amazes me how much my pride (and David's) can get in my face and stop me from re-connecting, when my feelings are hurt.

Some days i think "This relationship is never going to work" and then I just say that out loud and David is so open and accepting that we just talk about it and I think to myself "This relationship will never fail as long as we have honesty and compassion at the heart of it."

In all the years that David and I have been together through the good and the bad our relationship has always been real - you know honest - sometimes brutally so.... but i wouldnt have it any other way.

I am on a total high right now. I am married to one of the most authentic, tender, compassionate people i know... and he's good in the garden!! How lucky am I!!
