Why Hazy...

This weekend Rick had the Klondike.

(A scout camp out)
When he left, we weren't exactly on
good terms.
I think we were both glad for the space-
time always seems to make tension dissipate.

But that said, the minute he drove out of the driveway
I had regrets and wished I had been kinder.
I pictured him in his tent in the pouring rain
and I felt sad.

Later that night I came across the song, "Hazy"
and the words seems just right.

Sometimes there are so many things you want to say
bouncing around in your head that you just can't hear anything else.
But all you really want to know is that when things
go wrong...that they will be there for you.

And the funny thing about marriage is that
when things are off between the two of you
everything else is truly hazy.

There is no peace, no joy, no contentment
in any other aspect of your life
until things get back to good.

I am amazed at the power of that one relationship.
It's so important, there really isn't anything else
that comes close to the sway it has on your outlook.

But the great thing is, when that relationship is good...
wow does the world look bright!

I'm grateful for a husband that is patient and forgiving
of my many weaknesses and that is always willing
to keep trying.
