This was a different kind of weekend for my wife and I. My wife isn’t available due to work obligations so I had to find some other things to do myself.
Something I already know and that was reinforced today and that I tell people is that my wife is truly my best friend. Usually on the weekend we do some things together and we spend time talking together. But we always know where the other is and we can interrupt each other during the day to talk or whatever.
We are both busy and don’t always get a lot of time together during the week. Between evening and weekend meetings, separate outings with friends and other activities or obligations we don’t always get a lot of time together.
We decided some time ago that rather than worry about the time we don’t get to be together we would try to take advantage of the time we do have together and maximize that time. We respect each other’s needs and desires and work together to make our lives work together.
Not everyone wants to do that but whatever your situation you have to do what works for you.
Today I got to catch up on some reading, do some shopping that I rarely ever do, do some cleanup at the house, spend time visiting with a friend and his family, hit some golf balls at a local range and there were about 20 other people with the same idea, caught several NCAA games simultaneously at a local restaurant, dinner out, did some writing and yet to do some walking/running, preparation for a meeting tomorrow, a little more reading and some more NCAA basketball.
Looking forward to the next time I see my wife. It’s always more fun doing stuff with her.
