This weekend has been great - I have spent time with my sis, Emma planning, talking, reading, eating, drinking, watching movies and 'Earl' and generally chilling out. We may have no water soon, though due to the floods in the area.....
Last week I made a massive vision board of pics of couples etc, and then asked my friends who were in long-term relationships to tell me the 5 best things about it. It was wonderful. I got some beautiful replies and created a piece of 'future' writing that I then sent to each of them.
Read it here......(slightly edited to prevent weird links to the blog!)
MY WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP Sometimes when I just think about him, the strength of love is so strong, I can feel my heart swell. I love having a soul mate, who loves and adores me as much as I do him. I love him, and enjoy the feeling of being in love and loving someone who i spend time with. We are kind to each other, nurturing and caring for each other emotionally, generous practically with little actions that we do all the time to show the other person we care and are thinking of them - from making him a cup of tea in bed, or buying him a CD, or receiving something from him that is unexpected - magical little moments of joy We have a wonderful relationship, built around companionship. We are friends as well as lovers. I know my lover really well, in depth, as a separate person to me. We allow each other space to truly be ourselves, and accept each others less desirable aspects. We are able to let the other go off to have adventures, safe in the knowledge that we will return to each other and the stability of our relationship. I have the security of a person who will be with me throughout thick and thin, as friends move away, and everything else changes, it is great to have someone who is going to adventure along with me and will grow as I grow, whom I trust and respect and who trusts and respects me. We support each other through the amazing as well as difficult times. We can be open and honest in our communication with each other, and are each others best cheerleader. I have someone who in a few words can boost my confidence or make me feel great, and I do the same in reverse - he can in a few words replenish my confidence or help me be sure of my capabilities when I perhaps am doubting them myself. He has a very positive perspective and just lets me know that he knows I can do it, which is a great source of support. Having someone to share this amazing journey - who knows me and I know them, we create our own stories together, catching each others eye and knowing what we are thinking, without uttering a word. We enjoy being physically intimate with each other, from holding hands, kissing, hugging, snuggling together, massaging each others cares away to beautiful l***making and exciting spontaneous **x! We interest and excite each other intellectually and physically. I have a secure feeling of being OK - that if someone that wonderful fancies and wants to live with me for the rest of my life, that it means something and that I can feel good about myself. We respect each others opinions and love to talk, discuss plans and imagine our wonderful future together. spending hours talking, feeling totally un-selfconscious, we have shared values and beliefs and work together to make our relationship the best it can be.
We laugh together all the time - he makes me laugh until I can hardly breathe, and we giggle together at the world, and each others comments, we can get p**sed together, laughing our heads off, cracking up at the same things!
We explore the world together - we travel, visit new places, and try new activities together and separately. My relationship gives me a feeling of security - a home life from which all adventures start and to which i return after all adventures
We can truly be ourselves in the relationship - the good, and bad, stubborn, moody, crabby as well as the funny, inspiring, caring and supportive. I never have to pretend to be anything I am not, and know I will be loved as myself. We have created our beautiful children together which has filled my heart and home with more love than I ever imagined possible. Be open to love, happynurses
Yes, it's important to have a vision of where we want to go or what we want to achieve. And vision boarding is a very important tool to start with. Like the angle of your vision board.
