Relationships Cycle Predictably
Even in Florida, fall has arrived. And just as predictably, each season in your relationship takes a turn.
Why not transition through the seasons with your eyes wide open and profit from each one? Sure, you can have a favorite, but you may as well find meaning and reason to celebrate in every day of the year.
Remember when you first met your partner, and you couldn’t get enough of each other? It was as though your fairy godmother had finally shown up. At last, somebody recognized you in all of your glory and appreciated everything about you. Even your idiosyncrasies were endearing. That’s the elation of the “expansion and promise stage.”

And that choice empowers you, but it does more than empower YOU. You have resources. You have pull, connections, nothing less than magic at your beck and call. Don’t get scared, thinking you have to do it all yourself.
For the sake of discretion, I’m going to jump over hundreds of dirty diapers here. I want to tell you that Mom’s rose bushes are growing outside her window. Sam keeps her in tulips. Jigsaw puzzles and frozen fruit bars are new favorites. And as of today, 53 days later, Mom is prescription-free! She’s playing ball, living life.
