So, I'm in an obnoxiously good mood
Seriously. I'm sure I'm obnoxious to be around. I just went to writer's group and swear I was grinning and giggling like a nut, and they're all sure I'm on some form of meth. But I'm just so damn happy lately. I woke up smiling this morning, laughed out loud with my kid in the car, was excited to get out and about. I think it's a combination of things -
- The biggest is having some real direction for my near future - and knowing I'll be able to start grad school next spring is huge.
- Getting to take actual concrete steps toward said future in my online class I'm taking, and I'm officially registered for two classes on campus for the Fall
- Having crazy creative energy with the novel
- Having this renewed appreciation for my husband, who all of the sudden, I am re-realizing how fucking fantastic this man is, on so many different levels and facets. I was thinking yesterday, that my marriage isn't just about this decision I made seven years ago to marry him, when frankly, I was a very different person with very different motivations. Even today, he would still be the one that I would choose over anyone else. Somehow the idea that I would continually choose him just really hit me - and that's how you keep a marriage fresh over decades, I think. It's an active choosing, not just something I chose in the past.

Aw, I think your happiness is catching, because this just made me smile!
Yay for good moods and good husbands! And realizing that the one you chose is still your choice. That's all kinds of smiles, right there. :)
Awesome! This made me smile as well. Hey, share the creative energy, huh? ;)
Well, it is spring, after all!
happiness is going around then!!!!
Absolutely sickening. :)
Don't you just love it when life is way good?
Thanks for sharing this. I needed a moment of happiness. :) My best friend says the same thing about marriage. You come to a point where you say, "I choose you." And then you keep choosing that person over and over.
Wow dude, clam down. You're making me get a sickly sweet headache. Like too much saltwater taffy or something.
Yeah, I agree with squiddichino . 'Tis very sickening! No one wants to hear about happy stuff! Give us some damn angst, goddammit!
Hooray for happiness and wonderful husbands!
You keep on enjoying being happy, girl!
There is too much ickiness in the universe to not embrace moments like these.
Naah, we don't think you're on meth. We just feel fortunate to be around to share the vibes. You can come over and be the lunatic in my attic any time, if you promise to stay happy.
since my last relationship i understand with renewed fervency the beauty of being chosen and chosen and chosen. i know what it is like to not be chosen.
my lover and i continually remind each other and ourselves that we choose each other. the contrast between these two relationships are intense. i can not fathom a time or space where i will not be in awe of the way that we love each other.
You said: Even today, he would still be the one that I would choose over anyone
else. Somehow the idea that I would continually choose him just really
hit me - and that's how you keep a marriage fresh over decades, I
think. It's an active choosing, not just something I chose in the past.
YUP! There's the secret right there. :)
