There’s nothing like a crisis to make us realize just how much our loved ones mean to us. The death of my maternal grandmother, “Granny” made me much more aware how you always think you’ll have more time, but that’s not always the case. Now, every day, I leave a piece of myself on the LifeTrain to hint at the importance of each of us acknowledging what we mean to each other.
Why wait for something bad to happen to appreciate your relationship?” Make a daily point of mentally appreciating your equally-great-half and all that your relationships bring to your life. Just having a partner has so many perks — from the profound ones, like having someone to talk to late at night, to the practical ones, like having someone else to those cookies and milk late at night. By valuing those fringe benefits, you can’t help but feel good about him/her.
Heck, just the fact that you and he/she are still side by side is cause to break out the good wine glasses. To be in a solid relationship, where more right is happening than wrong, is a wonderful blessing, treasure that, and safeguard what you’ve got.
In other words…Well, LISTEN VERY CLOSELY: CLICK
Listen.
Once again my Brother in Christ you have hit the nail on the head. This is an ouchie for me beacause I allowed myself to get upset about not knowing about a family members illness. I didnt want to talk to my Dad because of it. Now I realized that was precious time lost over stupidity.
Hi,
Just wanted to bring you up to date….I’m really enjoying these days. That situation with my daughter has gotten better and we have now moved to the city closer to my job. Her father still has not stepped up to fill in the gap in her life, but I am “baking in the sun” and enjoying her new outlook of her life as we face each day together. I thank God and I’m also sending a big THANK YOU to you for partnering with me by sending up your prayers for my daughter. May God continue to bless you.
