28 Years and counting

Apr11

Relationships are work in progress all the time. I have been married to the same man for 28 years. People ask me how I do it. I say to them ,You can’t change the person you married. All  the  traits you hated before you got married they won’t go away. You have to love the whole person bad and good. Don’t try to change him, it doesn’t work. Don’t demand .Discuss. Accept the person he or she is.

If you  are unhappy with that person, and you want  him to be different and change who he is find another sucker.  Don’t marry him or her if you can’t talk or reason with them. You need to laugh with each other not at each other.  You also have to pick and choose your fights some things are not worth fighting about. You have to listen,love them unconditionally and don’t hold stuff over their head.Most importantly leave the past in the past .Because you can’t have a happy future if you dwell or live in the past.

Think about your life together, Fights over the same things over and over again is a problem.  Marriage is a mediation you have give  and take equally.Give him or her time to do the things he loves. Respect each other. Never degrade or swear at him.If he does it to you,you deserve better. Make sure you make love to him with no distractions.Know when to let him be, and don’t nag him.Love is a journey with many paths to choose.Choose the right one and life will be amazing.

Marriage is a path two people need to travel together. One should not always be the giver and the other the receiver. Marriage is an equal union..

Love is a journey two people lead together.

Coffee and a Muffin

Sep26

I had to use some banana that were very ripe and a couple of peaches that could only be used for baking.So I decided to make Banana Peach muffins. I thought to myself  this would be great with a cup of coffee.

When I went to the store the other day I made a decision to buy the store brand coffee Essentials everyday french roast ,figuring how bad could it be. It cost me 5.99 for a large 29 oz can. It’s a bargain. I perked the coffee, it tasted like motor oil. I noticed I forgot to put a filter in the percolator so I perked it again with the filter figuring that’s why it taste so bad.Wrong it still tasted bad.

 

Choose your coffee wisely the bargain brand is not always the best choice.

Nothing permeates  fall more than a cup of coffee and a homemade Muffin. The coffee warms your bones and the muffin melts in your mouth.

Glad I had another brand of coffee to enjoy these muffins. Folgers coffee made the difference.
