I have requested Pastor Sharon from Dances with God do the honor of posting Sunday's blog post.
If you haven't been to her blog, take a peak.
Greetings to all of you on this Valentine's eve. I am so happy to post for my favorite person in the whole world. I have kept up with Amy's blog and noticed her sharing poetry, tips and great ideas for spicing up your relationships. Of course, I have looked for clues that maybe I have overlooked in our relationship as well.
She has opened with a verse each day, and I will follow suite.
A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself-to laugh
with me, but never at me: to cry with me, but
never because of me; to love life, to love himself,
to loved being loved. Such a relationship
is based upon freedom and can never grow
in a jealous heart.
-Leo Buscaglia, writer and speaker
#571 Once a week: Bring home Chinese take-out, or have a pizza delivered. Streamline your dinner hour-then use the time you saved romantically.
#570 Don't go grocery shopping on Friday night! Don't do laundry on Saturday morning! Those are valuable times-times you could be spending together.
Practice "chore-shifting"
* Find ways to shift chores to more efficient times.
* Do two chores at the same time.
* Do chores together: Doubling the person-power more than double the efficiency!
* Something we do: Because of our schedules, I work a daily 9-5 job while Amy works 3 twelve hour shifts per week. It is easier for her to prepare meals on her days off or go to dinner for two. However, there are evenings when it is nice to order carry out and bring it home. Most of the time, it will be Mexican food from our favorite restaurant. When there is nothing to prepare and no dishes to wash, it gives us time to spend together that we normally wouldn't have in the evenings.
Everyday I spend with you, is a gift not purchased in a store.
Every moment we have together, I only wish for more.
What would life be like, with out you in it?
I only wish for one more minute.
Let's walk through life holding hands.
At the end of time, we'll sit on the edge of the world,
at 100 years old, wishing there was just a little more time to get to know each other.

Sometimes it is so nice to be able to enjoy the little things. Last night I was tired, had a headache from talking to crazy people all day long, so when I got home Secret Agent Man and I made bologna sandwiches and watched Castle and it was so-o-o-o nice.
