High five

Yesterday Ryan came home after a day of work, things are busy at work right now. He sat down at the table across from me & started talking. He shared some frustrations & reasons why he was stressed out & some things that he wasn’t looking forward to. I sat across from him with my chin on my hand & just listened. It’s not common for him to do this & most of the time he’s reassuring me. He is a positive person. He’s confident in his abilities. That’s something I admire about him & something he’s always teaching me to do with myself. We talked & we came up with a game plan. We had a mini pep talk & we high fived at the end. It was one of those moments when I realize, that’s the best part of this whole partnership for life thing… someone to talk to & someone to listen to & someone who isn’t necessarily your better half, but rather helps you find your own better half during the difficult times & lets it shine through during the best times.

Then we had grilled cheese & tomato soup & it turned out to be a pretty perfect little Sunday night.
