May 5th – Ron and I celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. WOW!!! and double WOW!!! that is longer than I have ever been with anyone including my parents, Awesome! Suffice it to say we are a great team, we work well together and we are the best of friends. In fact he is my very best friend and I believe that is what keeps us together even when the going gets tough as it sometimes does.
We have made it a ceremony to renew our relationship every year; it has become our New Year tradition. We shut the world out for a few days and devote our time to assessing where we are in our relationship and where we want to be. We look at what works for us and what needs to be changed {and it’s usually Him!} That’s a joke folks!
It used to be a once a year ceremony, but now with the speed up in our world it may become an every 6 months event. Whatever it takes we are committed to a loving relationship and realize that we are the only ones who can make it happen.
We recommend if you are interested in a lasting, loving relationship then know that you must begin by taking the time to “know yourself”, get honest with yourself and above all love yourself fully, completely, and unconditionally. After all if you do not love and honor who you are how can you expect it from someone else?
I will say that learning to love the self is one of the most difficult decisions that I have ever made and sticking with it took me 4 years before I was ready to open my heart and allow myself to be loved. No easy task but surely worth the effort.
Ron and I have written a small gift book on getting married, being happily married and staying happily married. It is a great little book for a wedding gift and even more so as a special gift to yourself.
I did the math and realized that if we are to have a golden anniversary I must live to be 102 years old. So I am on a real health kick, which means Ron is on a real health kick also even though he only has to make 98 years.
Someone recently said they had been wondering about our sex life and I assured them it was a work in progress and gets better every year!
It’s never too late to have a great life so start on yours right NOW!
Namaste’
