When I added this to my list, my husband and I were having a bit of a rough time…we weren’t even kissing each other good morning or goodbye. I love kissing a lot more than he does – I think I’m pretty good at it, and it’s lovely and wonderful and intimate…and he…well, he is self-conscious about his teeth, and so that is where we were. But things have gotten a lot better. I don’t even have to remind him to kiss me goodbye anymore. And he’s becoming rather incredible at the neck nuzzle. It’s not a kiss, but I will take it!

I’ve been at this job for about 8 months now, and it is the first time in my 14 years of working that I have felt like I’m doing something genuinely good for the world. While the day to day tasks that must be accomplished can sometimes get overwhelming, I no longer make myself ill thinking about work, and anyone who has ever done this knows how miserable THAT is. I don’t know if I’ll do this forever, or if this is the end all and be all of jobs, but it is certainly a step in the right direction!

Right after Easter , about 6 weeks ago, I made my first trip to the ocean in 6 years. I knew I missed it, but didn’t know how much until I began to cry as I was setting up my tent on the beach. My husband promises I’ll get to go back for my birthday in July…we’ll see, won’t we? :)
