Communication and Expectation [Rerelease]

Keith and Laura were looking for a way to recalibrate and energize themselves. Both a little tired and run down, the couple try to focus on the family’s weekend. A trip to a winter market, what could go wrong? Keith’s practicality and sense of obligation can create overwhelm and distract from his practice and creativity. This time around, it threatens the whimsy and sense of play Laura craves while they explore the market.

Laura loves to recharge through creative work and travel. She doesn’t like to sit still and has several projects to check off her list. She leans into making holiday treats and festive crafts. Keith balances the feeling of not doing enough with making time for creative projects and relaxation. Laura reminds Keith that he is a maker. He acknowledges the need to plan, prioritize, and simply use his time effectively. 

The couple ends up talking about partnerships. Is there a shift where someone is not only your partner, they’re your confidant, they’re your friend, they’re your coach, they’re your everything? The pressure to be everything, everywhere for someone can be a lot to feel and hold.
