Every now and then we all need a reminder to reach out to those we love. I was just hit with the news that one of my dear friends has leukemia. She is brave and I have no doubt she will make it through this challenging time with the help of her family, friends and her strong faith.

This news reminds me to hug my loved ones a bit longer and tell my online friends that I truly care. So if you are reading this, thanks for being in my life. You have enriched it more than you will ever know. *smooches*

It has come to my attention I have not posted a tale in a very long time. That is due to a variety of boring life duties I have been tending to. Today I have a lesson I wish to share though. As most of you know I am married. We just celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary last month. As all married couples do – we have had our ups and downs. For a while now we have been disconnected from one another. It really isn’t one person’s fault more than the other. The important thing to know is we allowed outside pressures and stupid chores get in the way of our love for one another. At the end of each day we were both exhausted from performing tasks than many times were not urgent instead of making our relationship a priority.

Sunday night all of that changed. We had a very honest heart to heart…yes communication is the key to any good relationship. We shared our fears of loosing one another and what our needs were. We took the time to really listen to one another. The amazing thing is last night felt like traveling back in time to when we were first together. We just moved into a new house and I didn’t unpack one box. Instead we hung out as a family. We ate dinner and played air hockey. After our daughter went to bed my wife and I snuggled on the couch and giggled like when we were dating. We both recommitted ourselves to one another. It was wonderful!

So the lesson here is communication. Have you noticed that most relationships fail? The divorce rate for first marriages in my country is 51%. That is ridiculous! I think that is solely due to lack of communication. We allowed the connection in our marriage to slip and could have easily lost everything because of it. Please learn from me and don’t allow outside forces to affect your relationships…regardless of what kind of relationship it is. Make sure you don’t take those you love for granted, and show them through your actions that they are a high priority in your life.
