Me: Y’know, in a decade, we loook pretty close to what we looked like back then. You look great!
Her: Oh thanks, you too.
Me: Well, I always look good.
Her: That’s…hey!
Met up with Hazel for some drinks the other night. She’s come around to my way of thinking that meeting your person deserves as much thought as getting a good job or going back to school for your career.
Me: Imagine if I said, “I’ve decided that I’m just going to leave getting a job to chance. It’ll happen when it happens. Until then, I’m going to sit at home every day and night and I believe that a high-paying, awesome job will call me and want just the way I am.” What would you say about my career plans?
Her: That that’s not a good idea.
Me: Right. But I can’t tell you how many times I have people say to me, “I’m just going to meet the right person. It’ll happen when it happens.” The right person’s a big deal – too big to leave up to chance. You make your own luck in this world.

This recent study has a new take on why exercise is so good for us. Apparently, it makes our very healthy cells eat the weaker cells in our bodies as a kinda natural recycling.
Goes to show two things: (1) why exercise really is the fountain of youth and (2) that I can find a way to eat regardless of where I am and what I’m doing:
Me: We vacation well together – we can hang out or get our own alone time.
Wife: Yes, like I go to the spa, you go eat, I go to the beach, you go eat, I go to the cafe, you go eat, I go to…
Me: I would say something but that’s pretty accurate.
Location: getting dressed to meet a client
Mood: contented
Music: on the other side I’ve got friends and they’ve got my back

Something I read a long time ago that I still remember. Regarding your spouse: Only marry someone if you would be proud to have your son/daughter turn out exactly like them.
If anything, more time should be allotted for finding a spouse vs finding a job, no? One can work at a job they dislike, but would you want to have a child you dislike?
I couldn't agree more – you can always get another job but no one wants to get a divorce. I know several people who had divorces and it's just a heartbreaking thing.
I'm on the exact same page as you.
Dating is really important ..
[…] That’s why you sit where you sit and I sit where I sit. Him: Didn’t you once say, We make our own luck in this world? Me: I did. Before I realized that everything I touch turns to shit. Him: Not everything. (thinking) […]
