Blessed

Yesterday, Mac and I were taking a long ride through the woods. I was telling him how I wish we could trap time and just do "fun stuff" for the rest of our lives. Of course most people feel that way, who doesn't want to have a life that's one big party? Then he goes into his speech of, "If I didn't work, we wouldn't have the toys we have." I know.

He then went a little deeper and said, "I bet so and so (no names as to not get anyone in trouble) isn't on a trail ride today with his wife." I was a little confused. He said how much he enjoys "our time" together. I was taken aback, as he's not a mushy kinda guy. We talked about all the things we want to do together. All the places we want to go. Then of course, we got on the subject of Noah. He'll be older soon, and it'll be just us. We also talked about our faith in God. Our foundation. So many couples have problems, even Christians. But without our faith, I don't think we would be where we are today. We are so blessed. 

Neither of us said anymore for a bit.

I'm a deep thinker, and a big worrier, always have been. I was thinking to myself, what a blessing it is to be sitting next to your best friend just enjoying life. Then my worry kicked in. What if one of us gets sick? What if one of us doesn't live to the retirement years? I've seen unexpected death. Thomas died at the age of 6, so anything can happen. It just made me realize, life is so short. Life is so unrehearsed. Life is cruel, and life is wonderful. What would I do without him by my side? 

So my thought on this day? Really try to focus on the now. Focus on what is important. I've come to the conclusion, I need to worry less about what other people think of me. I only need to worry about my family, and my husband. That is what's important. If we are in harmony with each other, life is wonderful. I will try to remember, life can be taken away from you at any minute. So be happy. Surprise the love of your life with laughter and companionship everyday. It is so worth it.
