Love is what matters

As today is valentine's day I get to be spoilt by my husband.
Now this does not happen often nor every year. The past 2 years have been dark years for us with it being easier to see the faults in ourselves and eachother.
But in just the past weeks we have both been trying to embrace life for living. The fun, the adventure, the people we meet, and the way we are eachothers friend, confidant, lover, and soul mate.

I was surprised and spoiled on Friday with the most beautiful arrangement of roses and lilies. I carried it around with me all day reciting the message inside.
"you are the bang that started my universe"

Saturday was a day out combining the adventure and excitement of a race with a walk on the beach. Can you believe that san Diego in feb is 70 degrees. Wow!!! Coming back home and enjoying our gorgeous house, lying in the sun, finishing the day with a great bottle of Syrah.

After a long night of sleep (how much I need to catch up here with the work hours I'm pulling and the sickness my body has been ravaged with).

I wake up to be treated to an outdoor oasis. Photos from our 16 years together encircling a throne to sit on and be cherished. Breakfast ensued that was fit to be made by any Top Chef master!!!

Oh what it is to be loved in life! Enjoy it, treasure it, celebrate it!

January life

Trying to match my personal life to my work life - which means pack in as much as Possible into a few hours.

Hiking mountains
Biking cliffs
Lost 12 pounds...think it is more stress related...

You don't know what tired is!

Living through the busy work season. It really wears on you to be exhausted weeks upon weeks.

You question if it's worth it, your marriage pays a price, you start to snap at people, and you don't know how to stop when you have a chance to not go 100 mph.

Do you get addicted to the speed? Is it worth it?

I have an opportunity to do something else - 5 years in 1 company is a long time. But it is easy to say the grass is greener on the other side?

And yet I feel like I would be stupid to accept this current state as normal - to say it's ok to work 35 hours in 2 days every week for 20 weeks.

Should I stay or should I go?
