First, I’ve been thinking a lot about marriage vows. This one is popular: “to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live”. This in turn leads me to think about divorce. I’ve been really curious about why or why not certain marriages end and why some work out. I wonder a lot about what the people were feeling, what their thought process was – at the beginning, in the middle, at the end. Maybe it’s the amount of people I know getting back together with their ex. Which is interesting because I’m finding that I’m ridiculously accepting? Or maybe it was the 5 days I spent vacationing with Casey’s Dads side of the family. I wondered what it’d be like if I had ended up divorced with two boys, the one on the other side of all of this. It’d be extremely hard and I think I understand some fears now that I didn’t before. On the other hand sometimes staying in a bad marriage or relationship can be just as damaging for the parties involved so it remains a grey area. It’s just been on my mind.
Secondly, I’m going through another one of those semi weird life changes. I’m got some interesting things going on with work. I’m moving yet again, which is proving to be a forced cleansing process.
Third, the American economy is awful and unemployment is going up up up. But more about that later.
