I've really got it good. From looking in some people might say we have it rough right now, but I know otherwise.
We began this new adventurous leg of life with the best foot forward. On the wedding day Wade was extremely considerate of me and making sure the whole thing went as perfectly for me as he could make it, and as I was floored with this romantic surprise, I returned the favor. He had no attitude of "you give I give" but rather one of genuine love, I followed suit and also took this stance.
Attitudes like this are hard work and difficult to maintain, they require time concentration and effort and as with many attitudes come in waves of dedication, here a while gone a while. This time it persisted a good two weeks, just long enough to be on the recetion for the honey moon.
Let me tell you, we had a few "trials" that week, if you can call them that. Really though, how can you call it trials, we're out in the beutiful Canadian scenary with all the delicious food we could want, gasolene, and shelter, I mean c'mon what more can you want? Just cause we only caught two fish in four days of fishing, after driving three hours to a new lake on the fourth day the boat trailer broke and we had to wait in the car for help three hours (six hours sitting in the car) and cut the whole trip short... oh no the worlds coming to an end we have it so rough... I'm kidding
If we're kicked out of the house because of renovations: it means we own a house and have wonderful people who are willing to work on it for us, If we catch no fish: it means we have the time and freedom to sit in a boat on a beutiful lake and listen to the birds. If the boat trailer breaks: it means that we own a boat. If we have to wait three hours for help: it means there are people who care about us enought to drive so far.
I'm not meaning, "make life perfect by looking at the posative side of everything" because sometimes there really is no posative side, I just realize there's a need for gratitude sometimes.
