It has been a crazy whirl wind of jetting, driving and hopping all around the United States.
• Completed a refresh of my mom's house
• Visited some good friends in Texas
• Finally settled in San Luis Obispo with the goal of learning some coding
I was struck with the realization that all this travel took away from the structure of developing our relationship between Michele and I. We have started the REFRESH, REVIVE and REINVENT but we're not hitting our strides for RE-VIVE.
As the husband I've been guilty of operating outside my role in this whirlwind. I tend to operate well on the 'on-the-fly' moment, but I've lose some structure. To 're-group' we've been reading a book called LOVE AND RESPECT and that means carving out time for Michele.
The REINVENT aspect of this trip is hitting some touchy points - especially with the real prospect we might not have kids of our own. Five miscarriages makes me gun-shy, but I was reminded very well by a friend, "NEVER SAY NEVER"...just keep the door opened.
