Do you ever feel like your life is a movie? I hope so because I certainly do, complete with an occasional out-of-body experience and a soundtrack. Right now, I hear Journey in the background and see myself out running each morning, conquering the evil vacuum cleaner, and throwing away my old flannel shirt.
The last few days were interesting. My husband and I had few good fights...and lots of laughs. I can't help but think they were related. I know they are. The fights were about establishing boundaries. We finished our budget for June and updated our to do list. At the end of the day, he was completed something he had to have done, and I was working on final edits for my book.
I'm really proud of us. We looked at our situation together, set some goals, and we reached them. I'm really proud of him, too. He's the kind of man who doesn't stop until he's completed what he had in mind. I love that tenacity. I guess that's what makes us a good match. I see the big picture and the end result, while he tends to the finer details and drags me along to the finish line.
I'm still stunned by this. I guess it is actually possible that doing something to take care of ourselves is the motivation we need to be productive. Now I have this fabulous image of myself conquering my world. Adios body fat! Ciao credit card debt! Good riddance lazy writer! We're not there yet, but I feel hopeful.

My soundtracks are all over the place! Just today, I went from a sound scape to Mighty Mighty Bosstones to Counting Crows to Muse to white noise.
I was saying that Metallica has been my soundtrack lately, but I've been trying to fade it out into Kings of Convenience or Iron & Wine.....
