Hi everyone!
I have been out of blog land for a while. I have popped in for about 30 seconds and then been pulled away. So I stopped visiting.
Everyone is healthy. Everything is moving along here. We just had a relative visiting for a very long time. It threw everything off.
About mid February TTWD just kind of began to fade away. Our coffee dates stopped, then maintenance......then suddenly it was just gone.
One good thing for me about this unplanned break is that I realized the subtle changes that have occurred in me over the past year and a half from TTWD. Little things that I didn't realize I did or at least realize I did SO much returned. Practicing TTWD I never consciously realized that these things had faded away, but when we stopped and these behaviors returned, their presence was blaring to me.
We just started up TTWD again, but with changes. When Roster finally took over in October of 2013, He wasn't into enforcing rules. He viewed them as goals to reach. He also did not want to do punishment, only stress relief or maintenance to "help me".
Now suddenly, after this more than six week break, Rooster has come back to TTWD with a new attitude. I now have rules and he checks everyday to see if they (only 2 rules) have been followed.
He has also become very comfortable with hitching me over his hip, under his arm while standing to threaten with smacks if my attitude didn't change.
Before the unplanned break I felt that everything was becoming routine, done without much thought. Now everything has changed again. This thing we do is never stagnant, always changing, even when we least expect it.
