Thankful for the Lady that Shares My Life

We are into the Month of Gratitude and Thanksgiving and it's appropriate that the theme of the challenge this month, hosted by Debe Maxwell is to be Thankful.

I am so thankful for the woman that shares life with me and is always so supportive, my wife Cauna. We have both had marriages prior but we can agree that ours was meant to be and we appreciate each and every day together.

She was supportive when I called her on a Monday afternoon after we had just come back from a Hawaiian vacation, and I told her I had quit my job. She thought I was joking, but I wasn't, and I was in that "Take this job and shove it' mode when I went to work that morning.

Then again years later I did similar when I was told that I had to start traveling to the Pacific Rim for business, and I walked out as I was already spending every third day in a motel.

Thankful for the Lady that Shares My Life

We just got back from our Anniversary vacation to Aruba, and even though the years pass quickly we continue to enjoy and share life together.

I only wish I had the nerve to ask that attractive young girl that sat next to me in Trig class out to a basketball game. Who knows if we would have had those additional years together even though we are a 35-year couple and still counting

With a career that is 100% commission based, it would be extremely difficult to operate the business with so many big costs. Knowing that there is a fall-back reserve beyond what we may have put aside is a blessing. Also, the understanding for all those late nights, cold dinners and weekends and holidays spent with others and not the family.

Hello Ed - while I have never been married, the term "happy wife, happy life" seems to play over and over in my mind while reading your post.

Hi Ed,

How romantic and sweet.  I have only been married to my present husband for 50 years.  But I do believe that one can find true love after being married before. I am so happy for you and Cauna.  You two are blessed, and I am sure there are many happy years ahead.

Now, onto the other bombshell.  Did you really quit?

Oh my goodness, you're such a sweet romantic, Ed! That's why you've enjoyed the love of your life for 35+ years now! She puts up with the long hours, cold dinners and weekends/holidays spent with others because when you are there, you treat her like a queen! She's a lucky, lucky woman, just as you are a lucky, lucky hubby!

Thank you so very much for sharing more of you in this month's challenge, Ed!
