Move closer and closer apart....

I understand this quote better than most people should. During the busy times Kevin and I are lucky to see each other for 5 minutes a day - yes we normally talk on the phone and know what's going on with each other but we don't get to spend much or any time together.

In the words of A.D. Hope the Australian poet, 'move closer and closer apart.' I think in a general sense that is what marriage is about. The apartness is a part of the closeness, perhaps a recognition of it: certainly a pledge of complete understanding.

I don't want to live this way forever....but for now the $ is good and we accept the way things are and make due. Instead of hanging out all night and spending lot's of time together we take comfort in the 5 minutes of cuddling at 6am in the morning when Kevin is just getting home from work and I'm just getting up. Is it hard - yes. Will it be worth it - yes.

Here's my thought for the day...

Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something.

I think too many people play the blame game. That is my biggest pet peeve - people who don't take accountability. Life is as simple as taking accountablity and accepting what is in front of you and doing something about it. It doesn't matter "whose fault it is". The people I admire the most are the ones who dive right in to any situation regardless of whether they are the ones that created it.

YAY for Friday! I love Fridays cause it's the start of the weekend. I have no plans except for trying out my new vacuum cleaner (I know I'm lame!), which is specially designed for pet hair - thank god for that cause my dog Dutchess loves to shed :) I have tons of cleaning to do, and some yard work and fixing up around the house as we are gearing to put our house up for sale.
