Snuggle the one's you love....even if your annoyed.
I am annoyed. I am grumpy. I am blah. This handsome man below loves me more than anything in the world...I know this. But I have step throat, yeast infection, and pms. I'm a mean woman on wheels today. Did I take frustration out on Brent today? Yup. Am I still upset. Yup.
Today I got a shipment of 60 cots and I was so excited. Brent was not so excited because he saw a lot of work for him. I admit I wanted him to be excited. He really wasn't thrilled with the huge boxes in the driveway. So I immediately was mad. However the reality is, this is MY journey. I need to accept graciously him giving a space at his shop for my Head Quarters. I need to stop expecting him to be excited about my cause. He has his own job, his own business. I need to use my volunteers and not keep going to him. I can't just keep thinking my cause comes first. To me it is important, but I need to remember there are other things that are important too. In the end my parents help load and take the 60 cots to the shop. I don't want more stress on Brent, and we had done quick.... Plus I have more stuff on its way, so another journey is approaching.
Snuggled Up is an extra 'thing' I am adding to our lives and I'm still trying to work out the kinks, make it work, and figure out if I am even doing it right! It's stressful. It's hard. But with every fiber of my being I believe it is worth it.
So these to people below (us) aren't perfect. But we've vowed to never give up and always keep trying. Tomorrow is a new day, and even if I may not be speaking to him right now and visa versa, I love him, and I love that he let's me be me. I just need to remember to also let him be him.
