in Caring For a Spouse or Partner
It's another anniversary. We had multiple power outages yesterday and I set my clock ahead by mistake. So I got up an hour earlier this morning. I almost went back to bed but instead I started my day with prayer as always,then I did the checking account,made hummy juice,watered the outside flowers,,ect. I am glad I did, dw got up an hour early as well. And that broke the routine. She didn't remember the date so I told her Happy anniversary, and  a few minutes later I did it again, new everytime. She did the math for our anniversary and said it hasn't been that long, she sounded so sincere. We will go out to eat and celebrate,but the eating out is routine. I thank God I stayed up cause I was able to get the stuff done without causing a meltdown this early.  We are supposed to go to a birthday party late in the afternoon for a friend from church. Long day for mama.

    TBE - Happy Anniversary! I hope you have many sweet moments today with your lady love. I know our PWD LOs alter ego shows up sometimes, but what a blessing to have 44 years together. Wishing you both a good day.
