So, I have been wanting to write more. One of the things I have been reflecting upon as this new year begins is my desire to get back into writing, connecting and growing through my writing. It has been a long time--too long in many ways, and I think it is time to change that. What to write about? I am not exactly sure, but nonetheless I will keep writing.
As the winter months shroud the world like a dark gray blanket, it feels ironic to be planning a spring wedding. But planning I am. Thinking about flowers, music, and colors make me smile even during this cloudy season. I realize that this year is going to be a year of getting to know my husband for the first time--we have discovered that it is important to do "life" together--cook together, clean the house together, go to the grocery store, all the little things that are important for daily living. I know it goes against the paradigm to not live together before we are married. I was struck by this contrast especially yesterday as a random older gentleman overheard my conversation with a friend and asked me if I was living with my fiance. He seemed suprised when I said no. It is interesting to note this and then see how Dan and I can do life together without actually living together. Thoughts?
A few musings for the beginning of a Tuesday. And the writing has begun.
