Continuing on with the Love Dare

So Mr. Wright and myself have continued on with our dares and I would say its going quite well. We have learned a lot about ourselves in the process and how to stop and think about how our actions are affecting others.

Beginning of the Love Dare

So not that our marriage is in trouble but we along with our closest friends are starting the Love Dare today. So today on Day 1 was to deal with patience and being not being quick to snap at your partner, to hold your tongue and be silent. Which is a trying thing for me and my hubby, we are both very quick tempered. After work is our most trying time, so hopefully after work today it we will both still be able to keep our tongues silent and say nothing negative.

Making it work

So I had decided to turn over a new leaf for Lent. I had walked away from God a few years back, not really turning my back on him but I know I wasn't making him the priority in my life that I should have. Lately he had been laying on my heart that I was needing him in my life now, and I believe that I now know the reason, and no its not necessarily for me, but more for a friend and how to help her through a rough patch that she's facing currently in her life. So I believe that God laid on my heart so that I would be able to truly listen to my friend and truly find a way to help her in this crisis.

Thoughts of the Month

As you have read, my mother's twin, my uncle, is has battled colon cancer for about 10 years now and has now been told his cancer is spreading. So my new outlook on life, is to take control of my life and live it for me and do what makes me happy and to stop pleasing other people.

Also today on the way home, the country station I listen to has a daily "Something you can hang your hat on" segments of inspirational stories that will make you think. Today's message goes right along with my new outlook on life.

SOMETHING YOU CAN HANG YOUR HAT ON

I got up Saturday morning with snow on the ground and this statement as a status on a friend's Facebook page: Just ate doughnuts and drank hot chocolate with the kids. First time i have had that stuff in forever and it was great! What the hell, its a snow day!

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

Have you ever thought about all those people on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back?

How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word 'refrigeration' mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched "Sportscenter" on television?

I overheard this at a funeral once. "I cannot count the times I called my sister and said , 'How about going to lunch in a half hour?' She would gas up and stammer, 'I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain' And my personal favorite: 'It's Monday.' We never did have lunch together. "

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of 'I'm going to,' 'I plan on,' and 'Someday, when things are settled down a bit.'

Now..go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to...not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

And that's something you can hang your hat on.
