It’s no secret that the past few years have been rather rough on Heather and me. Relationships are difficult. Marriages are more so. Lack of time for each other lead to a severe strain in the bond between us. We needed to do something to make time for ourselves and our marriage.
Our answer was to make the time we needed, doing our best to shun everything else during the time we’re together. So we planned “Alphabet Dating”.
I’m writing an album. There, I said it. Well, technically I wrote it. Not the album, just that I wrote I am writing one. Perhaps more precisely, I typed that I’m writing it. This is something I’ve been dreaming about doing for quite some time. It’s difficult. And I’m incredibly scared.
Writing an album is a concept that’s been floating around in my head and on various to-do lists for a decade or more, but I had yet to really start it. Fear is a big scary thing.
You’ll notice, “Design my personal website” was not on my list. As my wife could attest, I can spend weeks prototyping and then tweaking various aspects of a website. For all practical purposes, having a custom layout designed and coded by myself did not matter. The end goal was a personal website relaunch. I needed somewhere to tell the story of my 40 x 40 list.
