Well, the last month or so has brought a lot of fresh stress to the pile.  The economic downturn has been felt at Diamond, the time change always makes for some grumpy mornings, the weather hasn’t been overly pleasant as we wander into winter, and our schedules have just been insane.  Funny enough, the one constant light in my life has continued to be just that.  I know at this point I may be starting to sound like a lovestruck teenager, but through all the craziness that has been happening around us as of late I’m constantly reminded of why I’m so deeply, passionately in love with my Wife.

Thank you Shannon.

So, to continue the previous posts… Here’s the next batch of devotions to my best friend and partner in life.  Enjoy.

10/27 – “Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”  – Oliver Wendell Holmes

10/28 – “The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.”  – William Shakespeare

10/29 – “When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.”  – Dr. Seuss

10/30 – “Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.”  – Thomas P. Kempis

10/31 – “The soul mate is what we aspire to and like to understand about us, is what we deem to be perfection, purity and endless regarding our own being.”  – Sorin Cerin

11/03 – “Sometimes people care too much.  I think it’s called love.”  – Winnie the Pooh

11/04 – “Love simply is — it asks no permissions.  Acceptance is all love asks, the only demand it makes, but it is an absolute one. You can either admit it to your heart or refuse it, but there’s no other option.”  – Stephanie Laurens

11/05 – Shannon Forgot her Phone at Home

11/06 – “Love, true love, is that which can give the most without asking or demanding anything in return.”  – Mazie Hammond

11/06 – (Makeup for the 5th) – “Beautiful eyes are those that show the beautiful thoughts that burn below.”  – Ellen Allerton

11/07 – “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”  – Winnie The Pooh

You know, the Internet is a vastly remarkable thing.  I spend a significant part of my day researching problems, and looking for insight and information to assist with my job.  In all that time, I can truly say that I’ve never found a subject that I can’t find information on.  What a resource we have!  I had the thought when I started finding and sending these quotes of endearment, that at some point I’d find that I’d used all the really good ones (I’m pretty picky), and would have to change something… That hasn’t been the case so far, and doesn’t appear that it will be an issue for some time to come.

Anyways, Here’s the next batch of quotes sent to “woo” my Loving Wife.  Enjoy!

10/13 – “Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.” – Antoine De Saint-Exupery

10/14 – “Doubt thou that the stars are fire;  Doubt that the sun doth move;  Doubt truth to be a liar;  But never doubt I love.”  – William Shakespeare

10/15 – “The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.  Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.  They’re in each other all along.”  – Maulana Jalalu’ddin Rumi

10/16 – “What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?”  – Friedrich Nietzsche

10/17 – “Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.”  – H.L. Mencken

10/20 – “He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.”  – Ralph Waldo Emerson
