"Putting on the Game Face" |
Yesterday was busy. Linda and I got up and went to exercise class (Rehab in my case, otherwise the same thing), did some shopping and last night I went to Indoor flying. I am so glad Linda decided to join me in the exercise class. I am not an avid conversationalist and do a lot of self-conversing in my mind. As a result I'm not as social as I could be and our relationship suffers as a consequence. After fifty years of marriage I tend to run out of things to talk about and If I don't force myself to generate activities we can do together, and make myself talk out loud, things don't always go as smoothly as they should. Conversation is the lubricant of a relationship and without it the relationship begins to wear out. I certainly don't want this to happen since I love my wife as much as I ever did . So, I make a conscious effort to show it, by forcing myself to talk more and come up with activities where we can do things together. Anyway, Linda has a wonderful smile and radiates in the presence of others. It beams in the class and I love to see it. It makes my heart go pitter-pat, pitter pat. |
