Relationships!

I was thinking the other day about relationships.  I have failed at a few and did pretty well on the short term idea but what about the long term?  What happens when the flair is gone and you are living the day to day things we call life? When the kids are gone, pets died off, and the house is just the two of you.  I know people who have been married for 30 plus years and some who could not last a year.  I was reading the paper the other day about a couple who were married 65 years, I thought, wow that’s pretty awesome!  What were they thinking?  LOL.  I wrote the other day about the first 15 minutes, it was pretty funny to think about that since after the charm you get the everyday things.  My dad was taken from my mom at an early age.  They were married for 38 years.  She still misses him to this day.  I am reminded everyday that I have said I will never marry again.  Does not mean I will not have a person in my life who means the world to me.  I really like the fact I have someone now who lets me be me, does not try to change me and lets me do the stupid things I do that make up Ronnie Allen.  Appreciation is a big thing.  You have to learn to appreciate the good and the bad of someone who makes for a relationship.  Think about it, it is a lot better to go through life with someone you like than be miserable and alone.  Have you heard that variety is the spice of life?  Does not mean a different person everyday but having different things to share is AOK in my book!  Bad habits or good habits.  You cannot be 100 percent all the time, why try!  Last thing is tell your partner, spouse, and significant other, whatever the case may be that they are appreciated.  It goes a long way! Until next time!
