Generous wife tip & Progress report

Your tip of the day and progress on my anti-procastination to do list. Scroll to the bottom of this post for the progress report. In line with today's tip: My hubby gave me this poem on a plaque. It sits on the top of the toilet tank in our present home. When we lived in St. Thomas it hung on the wall above our chest of drawers. Reading it at times has brought tears to my eyes. It's called I'd Marry You Again.

With tiny tears that glistened,
my eyes were fixed on you,
and thinking of the life we'd share
we softly said, "I do".
Our hearts were knit together
from the time that we first met,
and memories were gathered
that we will never forget.
While daily living life with you,
you saw the real me,
and still you chose acceptance,
a lifelong mystery.
With many happy times gone by
and others when we cried,
some days we'd share so endlessly,
while other days we'd hide.
With all the ups and downs we've had
in learning to be friends,
I know that in this heart of mine,
I'd marry you again.

Just typing this moved me. Do this tip ladies. You can use the above poem if you wish.

Generous wife tip:
Frame the lyrics to your favorite love song and hang it up in your bedroom. No favorite song? How about a favorite love scripture or poem.

My true-love hath my heart and I have his, by just exchange one for the other given; I hold his dear and mine he cannot miss; there never was a better bargain drive. Philip Sidney

Think generous! Lori <><
