Yes, it is 1 a.m. and I am awake. Not very shocking for those of you that know me. Figuring that I might be a little constructive, I went in to iTunes to update my iPhone and decided while it was updating I would check out the new free Apps (applications that you can put on this handy-dandy little device.)
Anyhow, looking for free books to put on there to read while I'm doing all of those fun tasks like waiting at the doctors office, the DMV, the Post Office (especially this time of year), I ran across a book called, "Why Did I Marry You Anyway?" Of course, the title grabbed my attention and even made me giggle.
On the second page of this eBook, I found the following statement, which I instantly appreciated. It is as follows:
Love is friendship that catches fire; it takes root and grows one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity; you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy; there are nagging doubts, unanswered questions; little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil your dreams. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfections; it is REAL. -- Barbara Bartlein, RN
As Brian and I get ready to celebrate our 11th Christmas together, I can definitely relate to this. I thought maybe some of you could do.
All my love,
Christy
