It all has to be mowed.


Have you ever thought about the price of happiness? What does it take to get it? How many people try to buy it? It cannot be purchased although many continue to try but it does come at a price. I've seen women marry men with money thinking that would bring them happiness but it didn't keep them warm at night. It didn't fill the void that only true love can fill it merely pacified them. They go on shopping sprees in attempt to make themselves happy but this is only temporal. The reality pricks the heart once the clothes are in the closet and there are still no arms around them, or no conversation from the one that should care about her day. On the other side of this coin you have people who are always looking across the fence. Of course I mean they think the grass is greener on the other side. So when they destroy their family by cheating for the sake of "happiness", what price was paid for it? Did they truly find happiness, did it work out the way they thought it would? There is much I may not understand in life but I have had a crash course in this area over the last year or so and the biggest thing I've learned is: chop your problems up like a pie, you can't eat a whole pie but you can consume it one piece at a time. Work on the problems one at a time, otherwise I promise you, you will get overwhelmed! You may not salvage your marriage, it may still end but you will know that you gave it a fighting chance. All relationships take work if you want them to last. As long as the relationship is alive it is growing therefore it needs maintenance. Once it fails and is truly and legally over, then and only then should you seek another pasture. Green grass sure is pretty regardless of what side the fence it is on. The reality is though, it all has to be mowed. Keeponkeepin'on
