- Relationships are like road maps. You spend time with these people and you develop these really amazing pathways of who you are to who are becoming. They remind you of things that are important in your life and who you are. These relationships grow with you and throughout the years when sometimes you lose contact with these people, they still live in you. This is why they are important to me. I need them just for mere survival.
- Positive relationships in my life right now is my husband. I am 38 and I have been with him since I was 20. This is something else that is truly amazing to me. Not only loving someone for almost half your life but also living with them. I am also in a relationship with my two dogs. Each has a story of where they came from and how we met. Each has a unique personality that sometimes I only understand. Each dog was unwanted at some point in their life.
- My husband is my grounding base. I am kinda a free spirit with to many ideas and plans. Each feels like a really great one until I try to implement it and things fall away. Still he believes in me. He knows when to intervene an when to let the story play out. Our relationship is important because of the growth factor. We have both changed so much through out the years and I get really excited to think about what is in the future
- I believe in relationships that some are permanent and some are fleeting. There are lessons to be learned from everyone that you meet in life. This is what life is about. You create these beautiful experiences and meet these really interesting people, you open yourself up ( sometimes to be hurt) and let yourself go. In relationships you learn to forgive yourself, live in the moment and you take this throughout your journey.
- A partnership of any kind is never 50/50. I think when you love anyone or anything, you are more willing to sacrifice and want to see others achieve their dreams more than you want to achieve your own. If the relationship is right, the other person wants to see you do the same.
- I say every year that I open my heart to these children, love them, care for them knowing that one day they will grow up and move away. I will never forget them though.

What wonderful insights you have blessed us with concerning relationships and the gifts they give us. Love it.
Thank you so much. I believe relationships are such an important aspect of growing and just needed in order to survive. I would choose love over money any day. Although I do like both. :)
It is so neat that you have been with your husband since you have been 20! I am now 23 and have been with my husband since I was 14. I think when you find the right person, even from an early age, you just know it. Thank you for sharing your family and ideas with me!
our post is very thoughtful,our experiences with people really does stay with us,even if relationship with them is no more.learning to compromise and desiring the best for others is a positive way to sustaining a good relationship
I like how you describe relationships as road maps-when you think about it I guess they really are. Each path you take leads you to a different relationship or outcome. Our relationships do help us to grow in some way-whether it be good or bad, we are still growing and learning. I enjoyed reading your blog and seeing the important relationships in your life-continue to build on what you have and you will go far.
