It's true

In the midst of my Jon & Kate tirade yesterday, Kara said something that rang very true.
Hearing about divorce makes you look at your spouse differently.
Even if it's just for a moment, they're suddenly an individual again - with thoughts, wants, and needs separate from you.
Makes me shudder just to think about it.

At the same time, it makes me so thankful that such thoughts feel so foreign.
Of course Keith is his own person.
But I certainly don't think of him like that.
I don't even really think of him as "mine."
He's part of me.
Plain and simple.
And so very beautiful.

So yeah - I have those gloomy no-one-ever-plans-for-divorce-so-what-makes-me-different thoughts.
For a minute.
And that's all.
Thank God.
