........ try this instead! :)
If you need something to lift your spirits, take your breath away, or give you the "ultimate high," go grab your partner's hand and find your high together. :)
Yesterday, I fulfilled a dream that I have had since I was nine years old. In memory/honor of my father, who was a paratrooper in WWII, I parachuted from a plane, at 14,000 feet, wearing his Airborne wings, and his dog tags.
B1 didn't skydive (because he's a scaredy cat, :rolleyes: well, he says it's because one of us has to be logical and sane...... whatever that means.) :p But, he was right beside me, every step of the way..... right up until I got onto the plane. And, when I got off of the plane, he was right there, waiting for me, taking pictures, hugging me, kissing me, and telling me how happy he was for me and how proud he was of me.
It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. And, it was made possible because I have an incredible husband who loves me and who believes in me. Every single day, he encourages me, he inspires me, he adores me, and he desires for me to be happy. He says it brings him so much joy to make me happy.
I am so incredibly blessed to be loved by this man. I want to be the best possible me that I can be, because he deserves nothing but the very best! :)
B1 and I still have many challenges in life. Some are because of external circumstances that are beyond our control, and some are because we will forever be a couple whose marriage was dealt the devastating blow of infidelity. I did that. But, that's all I'm going to say about that in this post. There are plenty of other threads that discuss the devastating effects that infidelity has on individuals and their relationships.
This post is about recovery and reconciliation. Sometimes, people do heal, sometimes, people recover, sometimes, marriages that were thought to be broken beyond repair can rise above the ashes and become something absolutely spectacular, again, or for the first time. Beautiful relationships never happen because of infidelity. Infidelity is devastating to everyone it touches. But, sometimes, despite (never because of) infidelity, people can have a brand new relationship with the very same persons(s) who destroyed the one before.
Maybe not every time, maybe not most of the time, maybe very rarely, still, sometimes, it happens! :)
We choose happiness! (Of course, there was, and still is, a lot of work that goes into that.) :)
I gotta run, the kids aren't here, today, which is rare for a Sunday! I hear B1 snoring. I think I'm going to go and wake him up. I'll start with some lotion and give him a nice massage. I think he deserves a great big "thank you" for yesterday! Don't you guys agree? :D
Here a link to me checking off one more item on my bucket list that B1 made possible for me.
I love you, B1!!! :)
