Being married IS different!
So I really can't put my finger I it, but I think I definitely feel different. How exactly, I am unsure. But definitely different. It's like all of life has another lens, another perspective, with which to filter everything through.
Today I helped a good friend move, so I decided not to wear my wedding ring. It's the first time since we got married that I have not worn it for most or all of the day. I really thought I'd have a tough time getting used to it, but it felt normal pretty much after just a day or two. So now it's bed time and I can't sleep just yet. I'm exhausted, but too wound up to sleep. So I sit quietly and contemplate the day. And there, on the side table in the office is my wedding ring.
I look at it for a moment and feel compelled to put it on. When I do, I feel immediatley better. About the day. About everything. I feel like I belong to Cathryn and am happy for it. That I am better for it. The trials of the day shrivel and blow away. How do such powerful feelings come to the surface from the simple act of putting on a ring???
Stuff like this doesn't happen to me everyday, and I find it very intriguing. So this whole marriage thing IS different. How I'm not exactly sure. But I think it's pretty cool. And I love my ring :)
