I just I might check in a little earlier today, instead waiting until the evening. Mainly, my phone is doing a software update, via the laptop, so it's takng some time. My day has been pretty good, so far. My stomach ailment seems to be in retreat, as is the stifling heat. I was able to finish a plate of couscous with garlic, onions, and shallots without feeling sick. I've thinking today about how relationships require work. This is in reference to a brief exchange of messages between the Brit BF and I. It started yesterday when I mentioned to him that a couple of mutual acquaintance would like to see us together. My feeling is that if it's meant to be, then it is. He's not a believer in the "meant to be theory," rather, he believes that through hard work and preserverance, the goal (happily ever after) will be achieved. Relationships are work. They require a 100 percent effort from both halves of the couple. This means learning to be patient with each other, to listen with an open heart and mind, love and tenderness. When tensions do arise, as they will at times, learning not walk away but to stay and try find a solution without restorting harsh words. It's tough but if both are willing to make the commitment and be honest with each other, then it's all worth. Non-sequitur: software update is moving quickly, yay. I feel that the Brit BF is capable of doing this and he has the ability to find humour when things seem like crap. I like that, the ability to laugh. Life can be way too serious at times. You just need to lighten up a little evey now and then. The one thing I hope we never become is one of those couples who have barely anything to each other. Or one of those couples that just hate each other. Non-sequitur: my phone and laptop momentarily freaked me out. I don't know what the future of our relationship will be but I know I am willing to make the effort to cultivate it and make it grow.
