A few days after my post last week, my spouse became ill. For all the years that I have known him, he typically does not get really ill. He was diagnosed as having an upper respiratory infection. He had a cough that was so bad that he could barely talk. He was in his house for several days recuperating. He is doing much better now. I did call him everyday to check on him and even went to the store for him twice during this time to purchase food and household items that he needed. I am not writing this because I want recognition. The purpose of this week's blog is to express my joy. My joy is not because he was ill. The joyfulness is because we have over come so much negativity in our marriage to the point that a great friendship has evolved. Despite the fact the we are separated, our friendship is such that it was my pleasure to offer to help out my friend in his time of need. Also, joyous because my friend felt secure enough to ask me for help without fear of condemnation.
This journey that we are on has not always been easy emotionally, but I have "JOY" in the fact that we genuinely care about each other. Also, we understand that sometimes we have to agree to disagree on certain things. We are not one of those couples who separated and detest one another. Although this journey will eventually end with divorce, no matter what may come our way, I am determined that peace, love, and joy will always have a place to dwell with us.
