The iPad Documents – Collected and Created Knowledge From Trenna
This post is a simple one, but to Trenna and I the following was important.
In May 2017 Trenna wrote the PDF document that appears below. The formatting was as she wrote it on her iPad. The font size she used was large to help her read it.
The distinctive colour was to help her find it on her iPad when the document was minimised.
As far as I can judge, our relationship was a pretty good one. It was based on love and an abundance of shared values. Nevertheless, Trenna was always looking to improve things.
About the time she wrote this I had had a fair bit of time on leave from work. I was using my leave before I retired. So I had been around a lot.
By 2017 Trenna and I had been married about 28 years. We were starting to get the hang of it. That is not to say there wasn’t the odd hiccup. But when there was we would treat it seriously and do whatever we could to normalise things. If we had had an unresolved disagreement we wouldn’t go to bed without apologising to each other.
When she wrote this she showed me, and we agreed that they were worthwhile yet simple strategies. It wasn’t a momentous occassion, more just one of mutual agreement that this was a topic worth talking about.
We probably only went back and looked at it a few times after that, but the act of writing the list, and discussing the items provided a great foundation for the future.
No doubt the strategies were aimed more at me than at Trenna, but that was fine and appropriate.
Like most Posts on this site I have included it to give you an additional insight into Trenna, and of course, if it also helps you, or you want to share it, go for it.
It is just one page, nine points.
