Even when things are good, they can be pretty stressful and sometimes life just feels a little overwhelming. It’s at those times that the fantasies come, normally on Sundays or first thing in the morning when the prospect of the week or the day ahead seems like just too much to get through. I fantasize of being with you on a tropical island or deep in a forest, away from the responsibilities of reality, away from the pressure of this life. But what I do is open my eyes and do the next thing I have to and then the next and then the next…and by the end of the day, just before we fall asleep, I close my eyes and I am grateful that I am here…with you.
