A Society With No Soul?

Image
  To paraphrase what I heard on a podcast recently: What we are experiencing right now is so miraculous we don't even realize it... we have things so good: 1. We throw away more food than we consume  2. We have an obesity problem, not a starvation problem 3.

This is “you are _____” and “I appreciated it when you _____.” N eeds: State a need you currently have (not necessarily one that must be met by your partner). This could be a need you just recognized or one you have mentioned before that still has not been met. Don’t skip this one. Sometimes you may have to think for a minute before you can think of what you need you can share. O wnership: Take responsibility and apologize...

R&R Working to laugh and become friends again

We had a discussion/ argument. Want to work on being friends and talking easy again. I'm going to try to journal about Renae and remember the fun things and hilarious things we've done together. 2011 Road trip to Lake Powell.  Sleeping on the top of the houseboat, we wake up hear a huge Murph and Andy's like "ducks out"  Hiking ding and dang I put one of the young women's leaders on my shoulders and walked.  Teresa was soo whiney.
