What Stands Out Most From the Past Year
Before welcoming 2023, I reflect on the past year. What stands out most are the new places I’ve visited, learning to ride a bicycle, and roller skating.
Year: 2022
The Importance of Couple Friends
Making friends isn't always easy, and finding or making friends with other couples might be even more challenging. Alex and I enjoy the camaraderie of other couples in love. Enjoying their company, along with sharing similar values, is important. It's nice when we have things in common with other couples and can relate to them.
How Can You Be Happy If You’re Always Complaining?
We’ve all complained about something. Whether it be about a relationship (romantic, friend, relative, or colleague), a job, or whatever, it’s normal to vent, but when does complaining become too much? How can you be happy if you’re always complaining?
Am I Ready to Grow Out My Grays?
There's a myth that you're letting yourself go if you let your grays show. Or that you're old or will look old. That was what I used to think whenever I noticed women letting their grays grow out. Now, I admire them as it's not an easy thing to do. Women may opt to go gray to save time and money or to reduce the toxins from coloring and have healthier hair. Whatever the reason, I think it takes courage to embark on that journey. Am I ready to grow out my grays?
Why Riding a Bicycle Is the Best Thing I Never Wanted to Do
As an adult who didn’t know how to ride a bicycle, previous experiences and fear kept me from wanting to learn. I had convinced myself that riding a bike was something that would be nice to know, not a “must know.” I had done without thus far, so did I really need to learn? If not for my husband’s encouragement (and nudging), I’m not sure I ever would have. Three months ago, I was Learning to Ride a Bicycle as an Adult. Surprisingly, riding a bicycle is the best thing I never wanted to do.
