Recalibration

A recalibration is when any given relationship, romantic or not, needs a little kick start or has gotten stale. It needs a reset or refresh button, what it needs is a recalibration!

GUSton and I were in a bit of a rut last month but instead of breaking up we decided to getaway for a weekend to have a recalibration, now we couldn't be better!
