The Secret To A Successful Marriage

June 8, 2010

I was checking on one of my patients, a sweet eighty-year-old lady, and was about to leave the room when she caught my hand. Her: Are you married? Let me see your ring. (Looks at ring.) Ooh, that’s so pretty! How long have you been married? Me: About a year and a half. Her: Aww, I bet he’s a good one. Me: Yep. I love him. Her: I think that’s so great. I’ve been married for sixty years now, and I still love mine. Of course when you get older it’s different. It was really hard when we found out that I had cancer, but you have to go somehow! My husband and I dealt with it and then he…

I went nonstop for the rest of the weekend, giving in to an urge to clean my house from top to bottom.

Current Book(s): After my ADD last month where I was reading five books at once, I decided that I’m going to restrict myself to one at a time from now on.

Current Playlist: Since I’m back to running a few times a week I thought I’d share some of my favorite running songs. Christy Nockels – “Marvelous Light” Katie Herzig – “Hologram” Matt Redman – “You Never Let Go” Third Eye Blind – “Wounded” and “Semi-Charmed Life” Coheed and Cambria – “A Favor…
