Connection rules
To be fair... there are no rules in connection. No strict guidelines that say this counts and that doesn't.
I've learned something really interesting about connection in the past couple of days. I'm obviously deeply connected to Billy and the kids, but I always think it's really fascinating to see specific situations where this is demonstrated.
Riley came home on Monday night. She was coming in really late, so I let her dad pick her up. Ha ha! At 1 a.m., I woke up, and that's not a common time for me to wake up. There was no noise, no disruption; I just woke up suddenly. And it was right around that time that Riley landed at the airport.
The next day we were talking about her welcome home dinner, and I said, "I have an idea that I think you'll like!" I told her I thought I would make fish and chips because it's one of her favorites. I have never, ever made fish and chips at home.
And she said to me, "That's bizarre." Just as you said that, I was thinking, "I wonder if she's going to make fish and chips."
I don't think these are coincidences. I think these are examples of connection. Maybe a little spiritual, maybe a little woo-woo, but I think it highlights the deep connection that she and I have. It makes me happy. It warms my heart, and I am so grateful!
And the very best part is that I think she sees it too! I believe my kids are my greatest accomplishment, so seeing them, being connected to them, and engaging with them is an amazing example of how connection elevates your life.
It doesn't always have to be a romantic connection... whatever the connection is, though, it matters and it needs to be nurtured.
