Wow, 34 years… Yes, you would learned much! I loved what you wrote here about reminding ourselves that we each must fill our own cup and create our happiness. I think once we can see and accept that reality we have the potential to live really rewarding lives. Thank you, Lynda.

Sharing your life with someone that loves you for who you are, and encourages you in all your dreams is something that I have been fortunate enough to know.. My husband IS my best friend and I am very thankful for all that we have. Many people comment about our relationship, and the passion that we have for eachother and life…. It is something that takes work…the same work that is involved in keeping yourself “living”. I believe you get out of every relationship exactly what you put into in, be it with your mate, children, parents, friends, people that you have met via blogs (grin) or even the relationship we all have with ourselves and nature… Have a beautiful week Robin~

Once upon a time my husband was describing to a friend all the wonderful attributes of the woman he wished he could have a relationship with.
“She sounds like an amazing person”, his friend said. “Those are high expectations. I guess you’ll have to work to be all those things, too.”
It made my husband mad, at first- but it showed him that he needed to focus on making himself a better person rather than spending all his time trying to make other people meet his desires. By making himself a better person, he was more equipped to find and have the sort of relationship he wished for.

(And even “dream” relationships take work!)

Thank you for your blog (and your whole attitude/approach to life). I’m in the middle of an illness at the moment but your work is encouraging me to think about ways I can still take a walk on the wild side!

With love… (yes, the flow is right!!)

The honesty, wisdom and love expressed here is off the charts. I am overwhelmed by so many beautiful comments. One right after another. Each one that came in I felt better and better about the people in the world. It confirmed for me what I’ve always believed. The world is FULL of good people.

It also made me realize how off center and untrue the “news” is. I don’t own or watch a TV or listen to radio or read newspapers, but I can’t help but see the junk online every time I turn on my computer or check email. We are bombarded with junk and negativity. People are talking about the news everywhere I go. I’m not saying that there isn’t a lot of horror in our world. There is, but where is all the positive news? There are as many positive things happening in the world, if not more. Why aren’t they published? Today I realized that through blogging they ARE published and person by person you spread good news: caring, insight, motivation and love.
These comments reflect people with big hearts, thoughtful ways and wisdom.

Although there is a lot garbage on the internet. There is also a LOT of amazing people out there. If you doubt this read some of these comments. You are a selection of humanity that has landed on my doorstep (so to speak) and you are ASTOUNDING. So this means that through blogging we are able to make a difference in the world not only by what we write on our own blogs but by what we write on other people’s blogs. So the “forces of goodness” have much more say and power than we might realize. No one could ever convince me that the world isn’t full of loving, caring, wise people. Because I see them every week on my blog and in the world.

So I want you all to know that I see YOU. I see you strength of character, your honestly, your willingness to be vulnerable and your courage to be strong….and I am impressed. Thank you for the gift you give me. It’s a great honor. Robin

Took me this long but NOW I GET IT.

Really enjoyed this post. Thank you.
