Coming Back

I've barely spoken to anyone for the last five weeks except my husband. It wasn't until I returned today that I realized how much radio silence I'd been under. It was a strange feeling to be so out of touch with my family and friends. It's probably the first time I've done such a thing. It was a positive selfish act and I'm very grateful to my family and friends for making space for it and happily helping me get back in step on my return. I'm also proud of myself. I knew this time would be important for me to reset and to start my marriage on a solid footing. It's a good step in strengthening my reflexes to look after myself and those closest to me first.
