Marathon training is beginning to wind down… we taper for two weeks and the race is only 11 days away now… I can’t believe it is so close… I had a busy weekend filled with friends and fun… and the next two weekends will be equally as busy and exciting…
My to do list for today was 16 lines long on a small yellow pad…I got to cross off 8 lines which leaves 8 but someone once told me the “in box” is always full…
This afternoon I felt like I put my head down and then came up for air just before the news began at 5pm - Then I got back from dinner and looked at my desk and didn’t know where to start next… then this card caught my eye… I carried it with me in my day planner for the longest time… so it wouldn’t get beat up I put it on my desk as a reminder of how fortunate I am to have found someone who is my best friend to share the rest of my life with…
Matt gave me the card for my Birthday this year… and inside he simply wrote… “Thanks for being the greatest wife and the best friend I could ever have.” That one line says more than ten paragraphs. I’m not sure which one makes me happier - being a good wife or being a good friend…
All I know is that I must be doing something right… even when it seems like I am slipping behind on some things… or not able to get as much work done as I would like… it’s the little things that make me smile and relieve the stress even if it is just for a moment.
