Who makes some of our social rules and norms anyway? Why do we believe all relationships, friendships or marriages should all fit into some sort of cookie-cutter mold?
Some people are planners, some of us really dislike talking on the telephone or making decisions or committing to an event months away. Others simply can't understand these choices or maybe cannot fathom breaking their rigid routines like Monday Meatloaf and mundane date nights. Or they are so spontaneous they don't know where they will be hour to hour. Tolerance, tolerance, tolerance.
And those crazy hoops to jump through and move-counter-move dances I watch my sons go through with new girlfriends (ah, don't call them girlfriends either!). So much wasted energy. Is it really wrong to call or text 2 days in a row? Really?
The fabulous part of today was calling that person I miss and care about even though I thought it was her turn. I came right out and told her how I was feeling. We lived. We laughed. We're going to work on making some changes. Fabulous!
