HUSBAND is no longer with me. I still have some stories to share though.
Other than "fucking Sprint", or "fucking Time Warner", he never had too many negative things to say (until recent years!!). He was the better half of me most times. He saw it differently of course, but... that's why we were together for so long.
This picture was from the summer after my sophomore & his junior year in high school. We were at Six Flags in Arlington. Oh my gosh, we loved each other.
I miss him. Good times, bad times, ups, downs... All of it. I miss him.
I've learned some important, sad, and wonderful things in the past two years, however.
It's amazing what good things bad things do for you!! (I know that's a weird sentence but I like it.)
I've learned...
- There is never anything more important than relationships. Good or bad, they control your life.
- FRIENDS are the best thing you will ever have. Ever.
- A sense of humor is the other most important thing. Keep it. Always. Laugh at everything you can.
- Keep gas in your car.
- Keep a house key hidden somewhere.
- TV is not bad for you.
- The worse thing you ever imagined CAN happen to you when you're not looking.
- When you think you can't go on, you can.
- Oprah doesn't know everything.
- Surplus money is important.
- Things that bloom in bright colors make you smile.
- Walking is better than therapy.
- Stay off Facebook.
- The litter box needs to be cleaned every single day.
- Dishes in the sink start to smell even if they've been rinsed.
- Nothing grows without nourishment and tlc.
- Google rocks.
- Flashlights!
- Doctors are insensitive and make too much money.
- Sitting in the sunshine is so great.
- Enchiladas (not chicken soup) cure almost everything.
- Pets can keep your life going and give you a reason to get out of bed.
- Keep extra lightbulbs and know where they are.
- Keep extra batteries and know where they are.
- You don't always have to answer the phone when it rings.
- Cry.
- Laugh.
I have more of these and I'll be sending them your way. Right now I need to spray my new Lavender / Vanilla Pillow Mist (a gift from someone I love, and now I'm addicted!) on my sheets and go to bed.
