i married a good man part.... 8?

not often enough do i take off my me hat
and put on the thankful hat.

sure makes it easier to appreciate the blessings
i have when i do though.
one of them is brown-eyed-handsome-man.
he's a pretty good critter for sure.
the latest thing is: we went to the movie on saturday.
sure we squeezed it in between chores and 
making a call on some people.
who doesn't multi task these days?

what movie?
hope springs.
the one about 'adding spark to your marriage'
after 31 years. 
sheesh we've been married 35 years!

it was a funny movie. 
i'm one of those people who laughs out loud in 
the theatre, even if no one else does.
i can't help it if they don't.
handsome man laughed too.

there are lines, scenes in this movie that
are funny because they are true.
it's what happens some times.
i really appreciated the line about
how she didn't marry the espn tv channel.
some days i think i did.

anyway.
brown-eyed-handsome-man didn't put up 
a fuss. 
he willingly went to see the movie with me.
(it was my turn to pick anyway.)
he's cool like that.
i appreciate it...lots.
and sometimes i need to be reminded to
remember to appreciate him.

later in the day he made this observation
re: the movie..
" you know, if they would just communicate with 
each other, it would work out better."

sure 'nuff honey-pot.
good, gentle, non-finger pointing communication
is what it takes to keep all relationships healthy.

that and commitment.
even in the hard times.
we make those choices to make the relationship
work. 
end of story.
no..
beginning of story.
or 
continuation of story.
it's a daily choice.

happy thursday!
go laugh and hoot somewhere today.
and be thankful for
who sits around your table .
