LRT and Christmas

[Sad_but_happy]

Hi Barb,
I wanted to chime in with something I read last night about marriage. It was an analogy of marriage using sea glass. I will need to paraphrase.

When sea glass is first dumped into the ocean, it is jagged, sharp and raw. It will cut you if you're not careful. Much like marriage in the early and mid stages (fighting and jockeying for position). Over time the waves crash and the glass starts to smooth. Jagged corners become rounded soft edges. Much like a marriage settles into a comfortable smooth, quiet place to be. The anger and unforgiving jagged glass goes away and leaves only smooth rounded corners and it feels nice to the touch and nice to look at.

We sometimes forget that it takes time and patience to smooth the corners of our own selves. And it takes time and patience for our S to do the same. But once we do (and it takes a long time and much wisdom) we feel great, comfortable, and secure.

I want to hurry this process up as well but if we take our time, the reward is a comfortable, warm, smooth life.

Good luck!
