"There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like.
In business people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you are too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else's situation as you are about your own. You had this wonderful relationship with 'x'. You no longer have what you had with them. You never want them to stop, change. But thats part of being human. Stop, change, renew, stop, change, renew."

My very own book of Awesome!
Inspired by Neil's Book of Awesome, I decided that, my husband and I could write our own book of 1000 Awesome things about us. Well, for starters...he loved the idea, ah! how divine:) So the deal is that we'd get a book/journal and make entries whenever we feel or notice something awesome about us...no limit on how many entries to make, and no judging on what constitutes an entry.
And today, I got the idea for my first entry. I was flipping channels yesterday for something to watch while prepping veggies for my cooking...and Dr. Phil was advising a couple on bringing romance back into the marriage. Well, not that I feel our marriage lacks romance, but I wanted to hear it for the kicks. So he said, most marriages/relationships have a natural ability to include romance in their day to day activities. And what most people consider chemistry is what drives us out of our comfort zone to do things that we'd otherwise think stupid. Well, I flipped the channel after that and didn't listen to the whole thing...but this morning when I came back from my walk, my son was sleeping and my husband was up (usually its the other way round) and in the shower...he asked me to join in and even though I had a hundred things to do, I joined him :)
It later got me thinking, I am not a warm and fussy romantic person, but our marriage is. I had never thought, I'd be the kind to make dirty pillow talk, but hey! I surprised myself...So here's to realizing that you are in a relationship most people (including you) would dream of!
And as my husband would put it...to a really good morning!! How Awesome!!!
