Thursday Thoughts - Turtle Marriage is Tough Too

Tortoise Photo by Michael Elliott via freedigitalphotos.net

Dear turtley frustrated Bibi and Poldi,

I was saddened to hear that your wedding bliss has turned moldy

and that you're demanding that your future days be lived solely

for thine own pleasure with plenty of private space to treasure

because your marriage has evolved into boring, mundane leisure.

I know you've already endured bits of counseling

and feel your desires have little to no chance of bouncing

back to the early days when your skin glowed

and your love for one another proudly showed...

Yet I can't help but wonder if a reconstructed environment

could somehow help you begin to invent

a new life where you aren't completely alone

and are both happy to call your home?

Perhaps an architect and expert in fung shui

would be the type to guide the way.

What you need is a space that feels totally new,

has space for twosome time and some for just you.

Maybe adopting a "child" would give your relationship new purpose
like the pigs loved by a tiger or the hippo who is friends with a tortoise?
We all need a drastic change of pace sometimes,
but ditching friends and loved ones is like trading lemons for limes.

Turtley sour times shall pass if you're patient a while.

Take care,

Rachel Hoyt
