The Bloody Doors Off

Been a while.

Aside from a few dips, mostly in the evenings, I’ve been pretty happy. I’m producing a Fringe show, my contract was extended at work, I’m happily married and a step-father.

But I’m still learning. Oh yes.

Like tonight. Marlo and I went to see Grapes of Wrath and Crash Test Dummies at the Phoenix. And earlier, as well as before the show, we’d been talking about a retreat coming up for her, and plans for her and Maddy to take a few days.

And it actually dawned on me. Like I hadn’t had this thought before. Dunno why.

But I could do the same thing. I said so, and she agreed.

How awesome is my wife?

Of course, I have nothing planned save for the Fringe. But I could. And that’s pretty incredible to finally… accept.

I’m living my best life. And tonight I realized it could be even better. Because I just gave myself permission.
