Prompt: Appreciate. What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?
Pounding through Reverb10 today.
Two, four, six, eight! Who do I appreciate?
Simple – Chris, my husband.
Chris and I have had a rough couple of years. Years full of unemployment and underemployment. Years of financial stress and worry. And yet those same years have been really amazing – I co-founded The Wooden Cow Gallery. My photography gained local recognition in Albuquerque. Chris even had a small part in a feature film (MacGruber)! Great, steadfast friends and neighbors and awesome children. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
And then we made the leap to move to West Virginia – to leave the good and the bad behind and seek our fortunes elsewhere. And it’s been amazing. I’ve watched Chris come into his own with his job as a TV news reporter. This new career path is one that combines so many of his gifts and passions.
And, while things are still tight, we now own a home. And I have had the gift of time to figure out what I want to do with myself. And I have a plan to make it happen. And we can see bigger and better things in our future.
Love you, baby!
