Huge block has been lifted!
2 years ago
We talked and talked and talked about the hard stuff… the stuff you never really want to talk about… perhaps out of fear of rejection… perhaps just fear boiling up from the past. But we talked anyway, and all kinds of surprising things came up. As painful as it was to be so opened with each other, and say the things we dreaded saying and to hear the things we dreaded hearing, we somehow were able to come up with a compromise that we both actually really like. It actually doesn’t seem like a compromise to me because I am getting what I need, and visa versa, plus I don’t feel like I am giving what I don’t want to give either.
Compromise can be a beautiful thing.
It keeps getting better, even through the awfulness. Like a phoenix through the flames… reborn into something even more magnificent!
A nice long hike

Yesterday my Steve and I went on a nice long hike off the Mountains to the sea trail, one of my favorite trails. I hiked longer than I have hiked in years, and felt fine! The trail was strewn with these catawba rhododendren blossoms. It was like a sexy celebration which was helpful on our KISS & MAKE-UP day.
