There are times when I am reminded to stop and take stock of my life and relationships.
Yesterday (Friday) was one of those moments… R went out to swim on the roof and came back shortly after leaving as he didn’t realize that they had implemented a new security system where we have to use our parking cards to access the pool. On his way back he heard some commotion in an apartment on our floor, so he asked me to come with him.
The couple inside were clearly having a fight and just as we were about to knock on the door, the woman came out of the apartment crying with a cut under her eye. We asked her what was going on and she explained … as we were talking with her, the husband opened the door sans pants and wanted her to come back in. R talked to both of them, she clearly did not want to go back inside … the apartment was a mess as if someone had been throwing things … in the end, we think she went to a nearby hotel to give them some space and we warned them that if it happens again the police would have to get involved, which is not desirable considering both were also pretty liquored… Now, I don’t write this to gossip about my neighbors or spread some crazy story about people, but rather because it gives perspective.
Both R and I realized how lucky we are to have each other and that we get along rather well. The crazy thing was that we felt the most sorry for their two cats who look petrified… π
So, although I might be a bit whiny or negative about things lately, I definitely had an injection of appreciation yesterday! π
ON A HAPPIER NOTE:
This morning, I realized I’ve been a bit depressed about my family and one reason is because this weekend is a happy celebration that I am missing. My beautiful and wonderful lil’ cousin is getting married!
I’m missing all of the fun and family functions involved…which SUCKS! So… I’m sooooo happy for her as she’s really just a wonderful person and sad to be missing out on her special day to a guy who must be equally wonderful to have captured her heart!Β β₯
