Blog-a-thon Day 25

Today is the 35th anniversary of my first date with my husband, Neil. We were out to dinner and talking about how his one decision to ask me out for "National Secetary Week" changed the rest of our lives. He was an appreciative boss, what can I say? Nowadays it might be considered harassment. Ha! Although is it still harassment if the female is consenting? I don't know. I have not been in an office work environment since the 70's.

But yes, that one decision changed the course of the rest of our lives. There are three human beings who would not exist today if it had not been for that first date. It's interesting to think about how some of our choices go on to affect everything. Usually at the time, we have no idea. What would have happened if we both had taken different paths? There's no way of knowing. Thank goodness we took the path we did.

On another note:

My life's journey keeps taking me  to acceptance. Seems like I am often drawn to wisdom that points in that direction.

Acceptance

"If you are on a train, will you reach your destination quicker by running up and down the corridors? Some processes just need to take as long as they need to take. That's not easy when you feel a burning desire to get them over with as quickly as possible. Yet that's actually all the more reason to make sure that you don't waste your energy. Even if it means incurring the disapproval of people who do not understand, you need to pull back a little and pace yourself. Focus on what can be done, and become less agitated about whatever, for now, cannot be altered."

And finally:

Today I got a phone call from the producer of "The Morning Scramble" here in Arizona. I am going to be interviewed on Friday morning. The show can be viewed online in real time or after the fact. I will be getting up at the crack of dawn to drive to Prescott, Arizona for the show. I have sisters-in-law up there too so it will be a two-fer. Grateful for my "thannie" who will be stepping in to do the morning Kyle duties so I can be "TV ready" to leave by 6 AM.

I will be on  between 8:45-9:30 AM (Mountain Time) on "The Morning Scramble" AZ TV 7 (Prescott AZ) or Cable 13 (Phoenix AZ) OR streaming LIVE online. http://www.aztv.com/category/195810/scramblelivestream.
