A day of service , that’s what it amounted to; and struggle to find the joy, but I did, Spicy poke early, morning groceries run, dishes and laundry, chauffeur service for different kids at different times, World Cup when I could get it, indulgence with a couple three slices of pizza, some cuddle hug time …

I Believe In Relationship
Write your guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships. Serendipitous topic, “relationship”, boundaries therein. Nearly six decades in and two marriages down, you might think I would have another answer about relationships… But I think I can say that while my romantic / matrimonial record isn’t great.
