Sanity Journals

Once upon a time my husband and I met, fell in love, and got engaged.  Soon

would see our affection or intimacy and say things like “Ooh, they’re newlyweds,
just wait. The honeymoon will be over. Oh, that won’t last for long.” These
comments felt like a curse, a looming sentence soon to be reality and a
statistic. It felt like there was a looming monster that at some future date
would swoop in and snatch away all the bliss and magic that we had created
together.The fear that these comments might someday be true for us turned out to
be the greatest blessing to our marriage. It ignited something in us and we
would talk about it often. It became our mission to tell a new story. We
recognized this monster was imaginary and it’s power only lived in our belief in
it and the energy we chose to give it.   Click here to read the rest!  Published in Sparrow Magazine!
