10 reasons

Well, my friend Sherry wanted me to list 10 reasons why I like being married, basically to look at the positive instead of the negative. Since the negative has really had control lately...I am gonna try to see if I can list 10 reasons....Here is goes....

1) Having someone there to go check out the strange noises in the night..that way I don't have to.

2) Having someone there that is tall to reach things high up in the cabinets, without me climbing up on a ladder.

3) Now I can say to the kids.."wait till your dad gets home".

4) Having someone to snuggle up to on a cold winter nights.

5) Having him but me quirky little gifts, like the socks with toes in them...because he knows I have cold feet.

6) Knowing that I am loved, because I can see it in his eyes, when he looks at me.

7) Knowing that I am not alone, and don't have to grow old alone. (Hopefully)

8) Hearing the words "I love you" on a daily basis, other than my kids saying it to me.

9) Being asked "how was my day" and having someone actually listen.

10) Hearing my kids say "I love you mommy and daddy".

Ok, I have to admit that was kinda hard to do, because I kept wanting to write and think about the negative....because we do have issues...as do all couples from time to time...but since this move things are worse...I am trying but sometimes I still feel like giving up...I am tired, my first marriage really wore me down....even though it was over a long time ago...those memories and nightmares are still in my mind...the distrust and fear....The "what ifs" am afraid has won....today was a better day than the other day...some are good and some are bad....I just want more good ones....but at least I can think of some good reasons...I do love him.
