Hi Marion Thanks for the post. Truer words were never spoken! Good job!

Hi Marion, Thank you for the invite to your forum and the reminder of how life is to short to take for granted... I think I need to slow down and smell the roses. I believe I have a few phone calls to make too! Great post, thanks for sharing. I value our friendship here at Adlandpro, you are a gem! Regards, Donna

HI Marion, Thanks so much for this little reminder that we all need to stop and slow down and smell the roses sometimes! One day, all this will be all gone and so will we. I have to admit, I have a tendency to do this myself...not with my children, but others. I know that I need to slow done sometimes, but I have one big flaw, I am a workaholic. I always have been, and then I do not get in touch with friends like I ought to some times. So thanks for the reminder, and I am going to try and work on this very hard. HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK SISTER MARION! AND TO ALL THE REST OF MY FELLOW ADLANDERS AS WELL! God Bless, Marilyn

Dear Marion, I had to shame my husband into marrying me for many of these very reasons--he was waiting for the perfect time and financial situation. I knew I loved him and we were meant to be together. So one day, I announced to my friends while we all had coffee that he would never marry me--why buy the cow when getting the milk for free. (Yes, we were living together, and yes, it really bothered my conscience.) That was a Wednesday, and we were married the following Tuesday in a beautiful but extremely short ceremony at his mother's house. (It was February and cold, and everyone wanted back inside, lol.) And we were married by a preacher. We don't always see eye to eye on religion, but we do talk about God and try to keep Him in our lives and our marriage. In fact, it seems the problems we have had have always been worse when we have been too busy for God. I want to thank you for this reminder to always take the time--for God, for family, for friends, and for living life to the fullest. Sincerely,

Hi Marion :) thank you for sharing, That was Wonderful!! does make you stop and think. Thank you for all you do here! All the best always!! :)
