Another year of marriage down

Today is my wedding anniversary. Life been lifing so hard I honestly didn't know if I wanted to celebrate. I did it though. I got through another year. Don't I deserve to celebrate that? I decided that I do. We always take a trip but this year it conflicts with another trip my husband had planned. So our trip is pushed back. What can we do today to celebrate?

I began looking things up online and digging in to see if it is something we can both enjoy. I poured through so many things. Nothing stood out. Well, some things did but it was just summer things nothing for today. I just sat back and thought about what we have been talking about but have not done. Of course, food is the first thing that pops into all of our minds, but I have to stay focused. I'm going to go pick up our favorite fruits and go to top golf. I got the air conditioner fixed. I know he would appreciate that.

Just be present in the moment and go play together. We both are competitive so we can burn off some pent-up stress and release it. Have a nice drive, play a little, and eat some mouth water fruit. I saw that squeezing a lemon on watermelon changes the game, so we are going to try that. Just sit back and reflect over another year married. Check in where we can be better, gas each other up for what we did well, and talk about what we would like to see in the new year.

There was a time I didn't think I could be a wife. That I couldn't be a good mother. God came in and worked it out that I am confident I am. Not perfect but I move in love and intention to do it well. God showed me grace and mercy by not letting my heart harden from what I experienced in this world. That I now decide to be what I need to believe is out there. If I can be it I know it can be real.
