My Better Half

Life is pretty darn amazing, you know? i'm sitting here watch my sweet husband talk with my Grannie as she eats her dinner. he went to the store and got her fried fish because it's her favorite, heated it in the oven, and plated it. now they're sitting in the sunshine on the back patio "having dinner together." i am appreciating it all through the window (as I much prefer to do when it comes to outside). 

all day today i have been soooooo tired. i've struggled to get work done. i have not picked up, cleaned up, or even showered. i'm blaming it on my allergies but it's quite possible i'm simply worthless. i guess we all have days like today. i wonder how other people manage. i can't imagine how people with kids do it. i guess we all get by on some mixture of ambition, determination, hope, and faith (not necessarily in that order!).

God knows i do. i couldn't do it without Russ and i'm not too proud to admit it. i can't imagine what i'd do without him. i don't ever want to find out. truthfully, i hate to imagine where i'd be without him. when we met i was on the fast track on a short road -- if you know what I mean.  he saved my life. He saved my life by sending him to me. i am truly blessed.


i chose this song for its lyrics. consider: 

You've got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say-you really got a way 
You've got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see... you got a way with me 

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love 

You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me 

the thing is -- take the time to appreciate the people you love. enjoy the time you have with them. you can't know when you might have that time again or even if you ever will. so, here's my tribute to my wonderful husband. i guess I'll go ... *shudder* sit outside.
