My Lucky Break

I was on a call today with a client. We were chit chatting.

He asked about my baby. I love talking about the sweet girl. She’s much different than the little dude was at this age. She has much more YOLO in her. She freaks me out sometimes. Idk if it’s because she watches Julian and learns from him, but she is much faster in all the stages. She stands up and falls over and tumbles around constantly.

Anyway, this guy asked about her and so took the opportunity to brag and gloat.

I mentioned how grateful I feel. Then without thinking about it, I mentioned how lucky I am for my wife.

Some people go their whole lives without ever finding their person.

Some people think they find their person, but then when life starts becoming real life, they discover that they weren’t actually a match at all, but by then it’s too late.

I made some good choices in my life, most notably getting sober. But finding Jules, that was pure luck. I was blessed. It was by the grace of God. We came into each other’s lives and instantly connected. It is the best thing that ever happened to me and I deserve no credit.

When you get older, you realize that marriage is a partnership. Of course, there is romance and attractiveness and all the things that makes love exciting. My wife is super hot and I’m very happy about that.

But most of the time, a relationship is a partnership. Life takes managing, and having a partner who you can communicate with is the difference between a pleasant life where you can take on life’s unexpected challenges, and a dreadful existence where every day is a conflict.

I appreciate her and I know she appreciates me. I hope she feels like I go out of my way her make her feel loved the way I know she goes out of her way to make me feel loved.
