Sure, the core values and parenting was much the same, but the reality was we had two entirely different personalities - practically opposites. And I'm glad for their differences, even though it required a certain shift in the ways of dealing with each of them. Priorities and TLC. - Blog Entry12 Jan 2008 01:15 PM Really, How interesting that you've visited both that site and my blog. Who Am I to Judge? - Blog Entry07 Jan 2008 03:13 PM I agree it's easy to pinpoint faults in others and be judgemental when often they're the same faults we have ourselves. I wrote a blog about this topic and what to do about it -Dealing with differences Is He the Man of Your Dreams? - Blog Entry07 Jan 2008 03:06 PM My husband is not perfect. That's okay, since I'm far from perfect either. I actaully get worried when people think their boyfriend, husband, wife etc are perfect, because it means they have an idealised view of the person and are not seeing them as they really are. I never thought my husband was perfect. What I did know, was he was the one I wanted to spend my life with and that his faults were those I could live with. After all these years not much has changed. He's still the one as the Shania Twain songs says 'I want for life.' He's still my best friend and lover. I get annoyed at women who run their husbands down to friends. Their loyalty should be to their husband and some things should stay within a marriage. Communication Breakdown? It Might Be That You are TOO MUCH Alike - Blog Entry07 Jan 2008 02:54 PM My daughter and I are alike in a lot of ways, which is helpful when buying gifts for each other etc and in undertsnading each other. We know where the other's coming from. I always tell her she has a lot of good qualities. Unfortunately her bad ones, like being a worrier etc, came from her mother. No doubt about it, we are alike she and I . We both recognize it. More often than not, that's a blessing. It's a rare occasion when it's a problem, unlike a relative of mine- He and his father were so much alike they couldn't be in the same room ten minutes without arguing. 6 Uses for Used Calendars - Blog Entry05 Jan 2008 10:20 PM I have often used scenes from calendars and framed them in simple frames then grouped them on a wall, as they are too pretty to throw out. We used to have them in our living room or family room. Does Your Husband Support Your Dreams? - Blog Entry05 Jan 2008 10:17 PM I always knew I had a husband in a million. He has at all times supported and encouraged me in my dreams and my writing. It must be extremely hard to do it without that support. I'm thankful I've neve had to try it. The Giver - Lois Lowry - Blog Entry01 Jan 2008 05:05 PM you reminded me of having read this book years ago when my daughter was younger and i used to read most of what my kids read so we could talk about them. thanks, dale Smoothing Out Misunderstandings - Blog Entry26 Dec 2007 12:46 PM Good article, Kori, with practical advice.
