I appreciate this post. This actually kind of speaks to me where I am at the moment as we are trying to figure out how to transition with job issues. And of course Money, the notorious M. We definitely haven't had the same first year as you, but in our first weeks as a couple we experienced the stomach flu and a funeral. Two things that immediately push you into the nakedness of true vulnerability.

I love your writing. I'm so happy that you're my friend. Great opening article, dear!
