The next 3 weeks will be a time of transition as my daughter's family prepares to move.  I will be glad to have my own space again.  I have to spend sabbatical time because I need to see where my marriage is headed.  My husband and I really need to understand if we are trully meant to be together.  Our paths don't seem to flow together smoothly.  There are areas of development, character defects, negative attitudes, and mutual plans that need examination.  Looking inside oneself is not an easy task,yet, a necessary task.  When I can come to a place where I realize what I want in life then I can make it known to others.  The worse thing is to expect others to know what you want when you haven't told them. Introspection is nothing to be feared.  It opens the door to freedom of expression.
