Okay some of us were talking about wedding anniversaries today. Now ideally they should be times of joyous walks down memory lane...remembering when love was new and all that. Don't get me wrong, I do believe it is all that but it is also a mile stone marker in your life. Have you successfully met some of your life goals? How are you doing financially? How is the exercise routine coming along? Are you the size you were when you were married? Smaller? Now, for a me, a woman, that is an important goal..it is one that eludes me. I want to be able to wake up on my anniversary and say I am in much better shape than when I got married!! Right now, I would take an "I'm the same size that I was when I married!" Do I expect the same from my partner? Not really but I would be pleased if he was. I don't put the same goal standards on those whom I love as I do for myself. I need to buckle down and make some changes so that by my next anniversary I can feel good about myself...that I am healthier and more fit than this year! It would be a great feeling! I know that I should focus on the positive thoughts about how staying happily married another year is a huge accomplishment and that we are so proud of our children! I do feel all that but I also feel a little let down each year by what I personally did not accomplish.
