I forget sometimes that life is an intensely personal experience as we wade through the journey of thoughts and feelings. The lessons we learn spill out and into the lives we touch but they are ours first to own and process.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the initial stages of relationship building. It's so easy to step over the invisible boundaries of what you're ready for. It may look like a vase but that doesn't mean it is ready for water. Delicate greenware still needs to be fired by the experiences and nurturings that will transform it into something solid and enduring.
Easy does it, I remind myself. We've made the decision to marry and there are ripples through everyone's lives. Feelings are bound to spring up when change happens, even with happy events. Patience is needed more now than ever as we move forward into our life together. One day at a time we will build, love, and cherish our families and friends. Anything beyond that is gravy.
