On a personal note.

Today at work, one of my co-workers mentioned to me that her husband was just “in love” with my wife. Now before you assume this is some big scandal, I should probably tell you that they’re an older couple who we had over to our house as part of a Holiday get together over the weekend. He got to meet Angela for the first time and was very impressed with her hospitality, wit, charm, etc. To top that off, Angela sent my co-worker a recipe for a cake that he really enjoyed, and sent me to work with some leftover Habanero cheese that he enjoyed too, proving that her thoughtfulness and hospitality extends beyond just the event at our house.

She made the comment that Angela made quite the impression on him, but that was no surprise, that she is impressive. I said, “I know, that’s why I married her”. 🙂

It’s unfortunate that sometimes I get so lost in my own work or problems that I have to be reminded of how wonderful my wife is, but I’m glad I was today. I’m incredibly lucky to be her husband, and while I can’t say that I deserve her, I’m glad that I was able to overcome and become the sort of person she’d want to be married to.

  • The Difference Between Knowledge and Life Experience

    You should not feel sorry for me. This post isn’t about me. As I said, I have a condition that millions of people deal with every day. I’ll do the same. It’s about the reality that people around us are living with things that require efforts that we don’t understand. Just showing up for life every day requires effort and dedication from everyone you know. The amount of effort and challenges are different, and they are not distributed equally. You shouldn’t dismiss anyone’s struggles, especially if you’ve not been in those same circumstances yourself. 

    Some things have to be experienced to see all the details. When someone is willing to share the details of their challenges, listen and learn. Raise their voices instead of assuming you know the answers. 

    Experience is a hard teacher. We all can learn the lessons from those who’ve lived it.
