Monday

I had a few extra days off recently, thanks to being sick. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, in some ways, because it gave me free time to do some thinking, some research, and lay out some plans for things I have been thinking about for a while but haven’t set into motion yet.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

In honor of the day, here are a few more of my favorite love quotes.

I have been looking forward to today. I am going to meet a friend for lunch to chat and catch up, and then I get to spend a special evening with my husband. He also didn’t stick to our agreement to not get Valentine presents, and what he wrote in my card actually made me tear up a little bit. I’m going to keep it close by, where I can pull it out easily, so I can read it again when I need those words again.

Who Stays

So many people ignore that last part: your behavior decides who stays. When my husband and I first met, we could have easily fallen into the trap of making each other pay the price for the shortcomings and failures of our previous relationships. Instead, both of us knew, even as we were first getting to know each other, that we had found something special. We wanted to see where it could go. So, despite our apprehension, we held on, moved forward, and took good care of each other. Maybe we didn’t actually have a choice, though, because our hearts had already decided for us.
