Something to think about....

My bestest, dearest friend sent something to me today. 
I love her.
I love that she always thinks about me.
I love her values.
I love her morals.
I love that she makes her marriage a priority.
I love things like this that encourage you to focus on the positives in your life.
Words that make you stop and appreciate those you have.
I am so glad I have "Kristian" in my life.
I probably would have never gotten married again, and definitely wouldn't still be married if it weren't for her and her friendship.
So I will share this great advice:

*One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."*


*So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage......And old cars..... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.*
