Small Stuff

Just had one of those "we're getting a little too familiar with each other, and being careless with our words" moments with my wife on the phone. It's the small stuff that counts. A slight turn one way leads to laziness, vulgarity, and boredom in a relationship. . .a slight turn in the other direction leads to hypersensitivity, self-righteousness, and lonliness. . .straight ahead is vigilance, hard work, and deep love for one another. . .behind us is. . .well, that's behind us. "Keep the weels straight, ignore the mess in the rear-view mirror, and pray for good weather darlin'. . .we're gonna need it."
