Driving through the desert

Let me set the stage....

You are taking a road trip across the country and are driving on a long straight road. It is mid-day. You pan around and the only break in the horizon is the point where the road meets the horizon miles ahead of you. The radio lost it's signal hours ago and the cds you brought with you have been played so much that the songs blend together into noise. The only other car you've seen was a state trooper heading the other direction about 3 hours ago. The gas gauge is sitting on a quarter of a tank and you're not sure if there is going to be a gas station before the light comes on.

That is where we are right now. I'm not sure how we got here, and I'm not sure how we are going to get to where we are going. The only thing I do know is that we are in this car together and if we don't start talking and figuring out how to keep going, we may end up on the side of the road waiting for someone to come along and help us. I don't want to give up. I want to push on and find the gas station ahead, but I don't know how far it is.

Maybe it's just over the horizon....only time will tell.

I think if you both want to, you may solve all problems with a good talk and a spanking.

In many ways you're lucky, because that empty tank can be filled up regardless of whether or not you find a gas station. The power to get the car moving is inside of you. Wanting it as much as you do is a huge step in the right direction.

Good luck to you,
Constance

It'll take some time and effort but we'll get back on track. Things have just been so hectic the last few weeks it's hard to get in the game. Hopefully things will calm down soon or at least we'll be able to adjust. Thanks for the encouragement!
