Save your best self for each other
There’s general wisdom among healthcare practitioners that says you don’t treat your own family. My husband figured out why. We had been trying to schedule my latest consultation with him for weeks, but other things took precedence. Then he realized that the reason why practitioners shouldn’t treat their own family is because they too often put family members last, when they should be putting them first. That’s when he realized he needs to put me on the books, honor my appointment and to run the same tests he does for paying clients.
My husband and I have committed to save our best selves for each other. It can take a little time to figure out just how that translates into action.
I get my blood work tomorrow.

He slipped something into her coffee that tasted divine. She wondered what it was, and he confessed it was love.
My husband did this this morning. Unlike the date rape drug, it’s legal. And it made me want him.

She disregarded what she thought in favor of what she saw and enjoyed a secret last laugh
Have you ever discovered that a sweetheart wasn’t who you thought they were, and looked back to realize they showed their colors all along? It’s so easy in early love relationships to see who we want to see. Then, as the “in-loveness” fades and we are faced with a mere mortal, the dynamic continues…only now we are seeing only flaws and overlooking the greatness.
So what would happen if you just opened your eyes and suspend your thoughts and see others as they are – unique, fascinating and flawed people who are worthy of your love and might or might not be appropriate love partners?
It takes a lot of pressure off to disregard what you think in favor of what you see. If you don’t, the last laugh will be on you, because reality always has a way of impinging on fantasy.
