This Marriage Thing

As we get closer to the time that that is a possibility, we will move to a place where there is a convenient ice floe. The one whose synapses stop firing will get an unplanned one-way trip ... with a hungry polar bear for company.

In case of miraculous recovery, the one who still has all his or her marbles will pack a few peanut butter sandwiches to use to mollify the bear. If the bear is not hungry, maybe he can snuggle until they hit the point where global warming turns ice to water. I also hears bears can swim hundreds of miles so all will be well no matter who survives.

The greater likelihood is that we will not have that particular issue. With me, the way I am anyway, there is no way to tell if I have lost my marbles so I am safe! As long as my wife can find a shopping center, she will be fine too. She seems to have an inner compass that points to the nearest Bloomies. From what I have seen of the many shoppers there, when I accompany her to the store, it doesn't seem that either sanity or common sense is required to function within their parameters - just money.

I've looked into that pit. My hubby suffered a spinal injury before our wedding that left him without feeling below the waist.

Two years into recovery, we're blessed now. My guy relearned how to walk. He has some interesting new quirks. Thankfully he's in good health with minor lasting impacts. I say now. It was a rough road. It took a lot of counseling, talking, crying, fighting and thinking to get us that far.

Imagining a new vision of our future together and releasing the old one really helped me turn the corner.

Sending you all kinds of good thoughts for peace

I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
