to my husband

Yesterday we skipped town, stealing a day away from work and home to return to a place of Us. Holding hands and dreaming big we stepped outside the present moment to look beyond the worries that cloud our perspective to a time past and the days to come.
There have been many worries this year. Heartache born of personal and professional challenges all tied intimately to unhealthy relationships. We have lost days to the tenderness of old injuries, each turning us further inward until our future and past felt hopelessly disconnected from the moments between us.
We were so busy working at creating a life we forgot the shape of our dreams.
Life is more than an inventory of necessities, but our dreams cannot exist without the foundation of our labor. This is not to mistake contentment or happiness with the more complicated sense of fulfillment that comes from faith and confidence in the presence of challenges. Life need not be easy to be rewarding, we cannot thrive without effort.
Today I am thinking of the work of marriage, family, and home. The space of Us that centers our attention and informs new dreams. The places we have been and the path of dreams to come.
Love you.
