The Next Day

There is one thing that isn’t mentioned in fairy stories.  What happens “The Next Day” and what happens the following ones are not shown.  Everything is resolved and it is all done.

But that’s not the reality, is it?  You don’t have a fabulous wedding with all the bells and whistles and the next day that’s it – you have to learn HOW to live with that marriage.  It’s different from what your new role is as you work it through with your new life.  Sometimes, it’s compromises that you don’t expect or the other persons that create the new life and vice versa.

And it’s the wonderful days that come ahead that show you the hopes and dreams of others and how they view yours.  There was once a piece of writing my counsellor read for me about Cinderella and the days after the wedding.  She is feeling rather bored because she can’t do serving work and cleaning she was used to because that was SERVANT’S  work and not hers and she needs to carve a life out for herself.

Well, that’s the gist of it anyway.  Basically once the new life begins, you need to create either a new role in life completely or as others for how to be a homemaker, maybe.

Thanks to one of my friends, he came to see me the day Kevin went back to work (with CHOCOLATE, clever man) because he knew it would be hard on me being home without Kevin and wanted to help make it as good for me as possible.  

So, as you see, there ARE things that YOU can do to help those in the midst of some of these changes in life (or any other that you come across).  If you are NOT going through these changes yourself, maybe you could find them and how to help them?
