Overlook It

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference"
Winston Churchill

Sheila and I just celebrated our thirteenth wedding anniversary. Somebody asked her, what was our secret? She answered, "On my wedding day, I decided to make a list of ten of Tim's faults which, for the sake of out marriage, I would always overlook. I figured I could live with at least ten.
When she was asked which faults she had listed, Sheila replied, "I never did get around to listing them. Instead, every time he does something that makes me mad, I simply say to myself, "Lucky for him, it's one of the top ten!"

This story made me laugh when i read it. I remember struggling with my hunny bunny's "faults". I could recite them by name and in most cases give excellent examples for each one! There was such freedom when I let the "faults list" go and learned I was not going to change anything on this list. I was powerless...WOW!! what a concept! I needed to accept him and everything that came with him! The horror!! teeehehehehe...but ohhhh the freedom that came with that acceptance...freedom to love him, to be stress less, to enjoy him!!! Yep...I (any hunny
bunny) are much happier now that the list is gone.
