Feeling Blessed

After the weekend I had I am feeling more and more blessed. Jeff left a couple of weeks ago for a really long work trip. Before he left, he was sweet enough to ask if I was going to be ok. He knew I would be lonely without him, and he knew I would be thinking about Gram. He checked in on me all the time and encouraged me to ask my best friend to come down for the weekend. I feel so blessed to be married to this amazing man. He thinks of everything I need before I even realize that I need it.

My best friend came to visit, and we had the most amazing time. It took my mind off of Gram. We relaxed and enjoyed each other’s company. We talked about everything from our families, to our love lives to other friends. We laughed and celebrated Gram’s memory as well. We enjoyed our time at the pool and went downtown for dinner. After some drinks, we usually face-timed with my husband and had more laughs. I am not sure how he puts up with me but I am blessed that he does. He doesn’t get upset with me for being a fool and it makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I hope someday you find your Prince, too.

I saw this Bob Marley quote on Facebook a few weeks ago. I loved it and wanted to share it with you. I believe it rings true for both intimate relationships and friendships. Support each other, lift each other up, don’t try to change each other. Love them for who they are.  Be blessed to know that person. It also made me think of my favorite Bob Marley song, Three Little Birds because everything is going to be alright.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only.

She loved before she may love again.

But if she loves you now, what else matters?

She’s not perfect—you aren’t either,

and the two of you may never be perfect together

but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice,

and admit to being human and making mistakes,

hold onto her and give her the most you can.

She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,

but she will give you a part of her

that she knows you can break—her heart.

So don’t hurt her, don’t change her,

don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give.

Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad,

and miss her when she’s not there.

Love with your whole being when you receive love.

Because there are no perfect girls, but there will always be a girl who is perfect for you..”
