My Husband's Birthday

Yesterday was my husband's birthday.  This was the quote for the day on my flip calendar, "Good company on a journey makes the way seem shorter."

Things were so hectic yesterday that I didn't see this.  But this morning, I saw it and thought how true.  It made me think of my wonderful husband and this journey of life that we have been on together.  I'm so thankful he has been my partner in this journey of life.  Believe me, we have made lots of mistakes and we didn't do everything right but as I have told my children,"every one has issues and everyone makes mistakes but the important thing is that you learn from your mistakes and that you do your work to change your issues." The work to change the undesirable part of ourselves is not easy and it is the hardest work we have ever done.  I don't want to sound like we are finished or that we have arrived because we haven't but we work everyday on becoming the best we can be.  My traveling partner has never abandoned me along the way when he saw my ugly!  We have learned to be very patient with each other.

Because of his good company the journey has been exciting, tolerable, meaningful, sweeter and full of revelations.  As for shorter, the years have flown by.  I can say truthfully, that I look to the future and smile!
