Working on words for my 15th wedding annivesary out loud. Tell me what you think.
A lot of of guys are wondering what I did to trick a girl like this to marry a guy like me. All I can say is that God knows what is best and He put us together. I thought my 20 year old bride could not get any better, but after 15 years, she is more beautiful than ever. She is a great mother to my children, a wonderful wife, and an awesome person. I am lucky just to know her and call her my friend.
If love was a raindrop I would send you a shower
If hope was a minute I would send you an hour
If happiness was a leaf I would send you a tree
If you need a friend you will always have me!
I am not the boss of my house.
I don’t know how I lost it.
I don’t know when I lost it.
I don’t think I ever had it.
But I’ve seen the boss’s job, and I don’t want it. –Bill Cosby
I leave for work in the morning before my wife takes our daughter to school. A few days ago, I put a note on her steering wheel before I left that simply said “I love you” just to let her know I was thinking of her. This prompted her to send me this note later: “AWWWW thanks for the note it made my day. Love ya.” Of course that made my day! Now, I need to get more creative and come up with better ways to repeat this cycle and keep it going. This is what marriage should be about; having fun and enjoying each other’s company. I hope that you are doing the little things that make a marriage great.
An interesting quote from “The Man In the Mirror” by Patrick Morley really caught my attention this week:
“The desire for things appears to have become more important than having a meaningful life philosophy.”
I have to admit that at times I find myself falling into the trap of desiring the wrong things. As we embark on a new year and get a chance at a fresh beginning, let’s keep in mind the things that are really important. The Rat Race is unwinnable and unsustainable anyway. For me, the most important things are God, marriage, family, friends, work, fun.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. –Matthew 6:33
Its time for forward thinking, relooking at priorities, and setting goals (not resolutions which are usually doomed to failure).
I am declaring 2009 the year of organization. I could stand to pay more attention to detail at home, the office, time management, fitness & nutrition, finances, education, practically every facet of life. This will really help me to be better personally and professionally. It just makes life so much easier.
I plan to create lists and schedules that reflect my priorities so that I spend more time on those things that are important. I hope to pass along tips and sources that I find useful. Look for my delicious tag: organization
Here are some tips on sticking to your resolutions.
