CAPTIVE

Do you keep your husband captive for something he did many years ago? Do you hold onto a grudge and rehash it from time to time? Do you throw past mistakes up in his face when you get angry? How ugly and sad we can be sometimes. Do we like to feel powerful and hurtful? […]

AGREE TO DISAGREE

Do you always have to have the last word? Do you always have to be right about everything? When you put two different people together they are going to disagree sometimes. Is it that important to fight over? Is it that vital to stay made and not talk to each other for a week? If […]

HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY

Do you tend to see the good in things or the bad? Are you a positive person or a negative one? I do not like to be around negative people, or people who are always griping. Don’t be like a vulture, always hovering around looking for something to devour, looking for someone’s eyes to pick […]

HOME SWEET HOME

My husband has always said he wants to sell our house and buy a motor home when he retires. I never wanted to sell my house. I told him we could go traveling in the winter and live at home in the summer. I would want to be ‘home’ for the major holidays. Now I […]

Everything is runs smoothly. Does is stay shiny and new? Does everything always run smoothly? What would happen if you never maintained your car? You […]

BE VERY MARRIED

“If I get married, I want to be very married.” ― Audrey Hepburn What does ‘be very married’ mean to me? I had to think about that one awhile. I want my husband to be very married to me by not wanting another woman. Are there prettier women out there? Yes! Are there skinnier women […]

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR

“Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.” ― Katharine Hepburn This made me laugh. Should we just be neighbors and be friendly to each other only when we see each other? Should we just visit over the back fence […]

PRETTY AND SPARKLY

“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick.
