Today, today. Hot, hot. My day today was not unlike yesterday, so, let’s leave it lie, shall we?
Shawn, shawn. She’s been having a great week—great karma. Some would call it luck, but it is hardly that, has no such relationship with the wheel of fortune—instead, I’ll say, she’s reaping, reaping what she has sown, cultivated; grown. Yes, and I am proud, so proud. At her ISPI meeting tonight she presented, voluntarily, on the facets of HPT. Jargon to you? Jargon to me. All the more reason that a person who can present this concept, a person like my wife, deserves hearty back pats and laurels.
The leader of the chapter, Richard, lauded her presentation as, “brilliant.” I say, it’s about time, and tell me something I don’t already know.
Perhaps the strength of our relationship is the mutual respect that we hold for each other. Today, it was my turn, and I stood in awe of her, as a person, a woman, a friend.
And within this relationship, our relationship, it would be accurate to say that we have both been down for some months now, holding each other up as best we could. And at a time that I need something uplifting, anything, someone has come along, has shown me that we—as a team—are not just surviving, we’re okay, and we’re succeeding, and really, that is the essence of a team, one lifting up the other, one shouldering the load when the other is weak, so that when the day comes that both might thrive there will be only sun at their backs. Everyone gets their turn, when they earn it.
And so this one is for you Tewks, for everything that you do, carrying the lantern before me so that I might see.
