I sign my emails with the quote, "They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." This is from Carl W. Buechner. It's so very true.
We've all received heart-felt compliments. What are some that you held with highest regard?
I remember years ago, my mother & I were talking & she said to me, "I worry what will happen to you three when I'm gone." Then she sat for a moment & said, "Well, I don't worry about you, but I do about the other two."
That's when I knew she was sure I could stand on my own two feet & take care of myself. It really meant a lot to me.
My idea of romance is just being with someone who makes the butterflies go wild in my stomach. When you hold each other, it's as if you can't get close enough. Holding hands, looking into each other's eyes, & knowing that you're one.
A man feared his wife Peggy wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.
The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.'
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.
'Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner ?'
No response.
So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'
Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her.. 'Peg, what's for dinner?'
Note to self: when calling someone, make sure you call the person you intended to call & not a guy you brushed off with the same first name programmed into your phone.
