....... of "Joining them if you cannot beat them"

Y S' golf set is very married now.
Better Half picked up golf very fast.

Yours Sincerely woke up one morning and observed the woman who has been sleeping beside him for the past 35 years. How time flies ! It has been 35 long years since Y S last said " I do" and signed the life sentence. We have been "very married." It dawned upon Y S that it would be hard to sleep alone if his Better Half were favoured by the Almighty and called home first. So, Y S had been preoccupied with the thoughts of trying not to be "so together" with the Better Half. We had to learn to survive on our own so that " parting will not be that woeful" !

That started a spat of " you do your own things " and " I do my own things." Then, golf came along and Y S could really tear himself away from his Better Half for hours upon hours. One day, Y S got a call when he was four hours away on the golf course, " Hello ! Not finished yet? " Y S realised with a tinge of guilt that his Better Half missed him. A friend with 45 years of matrimony advised that time is running out so grab the remaining seconds, minutes and hours, and do whatever you can together. Good advice to think about.

So, as they say " if you cannot beat them, join them." Better Half got herself a brand new golf set and signed up for golf coaching. LOL

We will be golfing together soon. Back to togetherness again.

AJ7, look like I have resubscribed to "2getherness." Who cares 4 2morrow? It is a mystery after all.
