I am Grateful for My Wonderful Wife

avatar

I am so grateful for my wife Lauren. She has been so solid through the events over the last few weeks. We've been doing everything together these last few weeks, before I get trained on my new job. It's going to require many days away from home, but it will be worth it. We'll make it worth it!

We visited Detroit last week for State Convention. It was really nice to spend the day with her (and baby) away from home. We've been having great conversations and often share deep thoughts with each other.

We're always looking for the good, both in circumstances and in people. We do acknowledge evil when we see it and in the political world, we don't-have to look very far. But there is always good around the corner and we rejoice!

I love that we're always talking together. That's why we got married, because of our conversations. And here we are 13 years later, still having conversations!

This Post Brought to you by...

After loosing my old account, I was about to throw in the towel (so to speak) and just walk away from blogging. But my wonderful wife encouraged me to continue blogging. She said she thought it was important: and she was right. Not only would I continue blogging, but I would do my best NOT to whine and complain, but express gratefulness!

So my blog is now all about gratefulness, especially when things look sour. I'm grateful my wife encouraged me to continue blogging, never once got on my case about the financial loss, has been smiles and happiness all the way through. We both acknowledge that the Most High has his hand in this and it's very comforting.

So... this post has been brought to you by lturner. Without her encouragement, I'd likely would have walked away defeated. Instead, here I am! Still going at it! Grateful for my wonderful wife!

Bless the Most High!

It really has been amazing and humbling how so many people have been helping me get back on my feet again. The least I can do is be grateful and continue blogging and curating. !BBH

So great that she's been an encouragement to you - to keep blogging and to look for reasons to be grateful even in the craziness! Someday I hope to meet you guys in real life - you need to come visit Panama!! 🇵🇦😊

If my wife and I ever had the opportunity to travel, visiting Panama would be like a dream! I'd make sure to make our visit during "rainbow season".

If only I could strap some wings onto our shuttlebus and just... GO!

Yeah! Greetings to your wife! Thank her for doing so! We all can be glad about. And greetings to you - you add a very important aspect to our chain. Sure, I don't comment very often, because I would have to switch the account to comment and switch back to the ccceo.voter account and I am in my flow... (and in private time I don't read blogs very often, because I decided to work and bring my best into it. So I don't give myself a little private time...) but your post are very inspiring. Especially because gratefulness is such an important topic and we all can benefit from it sooooo much. I had the best time in life when I was most grateful. Because it brings you to realizing what you have, about what I and we can be happy about, what to honor, what to follow. And realizing that - and integrating it into life - is really uplifting and changes behaviors. And this vibration finds it ways to how to act with other people or things and circumstances in general.

I am glad about that you deliver this aspect to our lovely chain. Some people think they bring great content with the next generic Splinterlands-Battle/Card-Posting nobody reads. May be, I don't like to judge, because I don't like to be judged. But I see much more value in your postings. You have a vibe a few more people would need.

Rock on Benjamin! Thank you for being here!

Thank you so much! What I desire most is to encourage people, remain positive, express gratefulness and to keep on building! It's a big mountain, but with consistency and determination, no obstacle is too big to overcome.

I want to be living evidence that disaster does not have to destroy the JOY that we are ALL morally obligated to express, during good times and bad. This had been great for me and I hope it's been great for my readers too. Value-for-value. I am zero (0.00) entitled to support, but I am extremely grateful for everything. I hope that my posting is creating value for the chain and that it is recognized, not for my gain, but that God is glorified through this.

Thank you for this wonderful comment, I really appreciate it.
