It allows me to ‘vent’ when it’s 1:53 in the morning and my wife is fast asleep behind me. I have been struggling a lot as of late. I’ve recently (in the past couple of months) gotten married to my partner of 7 years and also started my new role with Domino’s as a General Manager. To make a long story short, the store has taken over my life and it’s disrupting the time I do have with my wife. I’m struggling to take care of myself and it’s affecting my physical, mental and spiritual well-being, my environment’s at home and work have been chaotic, it’s just been a crazy rough ride. But, it’s not all lost, I know what I must do. For example; today I got to go to the beach with my wife and while she laid out and listened to music, I laid out and read a book. I was so happy! I was so excited to pick out a new book to read and I got to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waves as I read. That made me feel whole. I must take care of me so that I may better serve those who most deserve it, most especially my wife. This is just the first step of many but it’s the first step that’s always the most important, no? Anyways, thank you for reading and have a safe and Happy Halloween!
