Just being enough in marriage...


USUAL DISCLAIMER APPLIES - Don't read if easily disturbed, upset, worried or if you are related to me! 
Unless you want to...
 
This week’s prompt: The top area of your life where you would like to apply the Just.Be.Enough. mission of standing taller.

Hmmm... do I "go there" in the blogosphere? Ah shit yeah!

In my marriage, I want to be enough for Stud1.

I want to be beautiful enough in his eyes,
I want to be sexy enough in his eyes,
I want to be interesting enough in his eye,
I want to be supportive enough in his eyes,
I want to be a good enough mother to our son,
I want to be enough that he will continue to come home to us.
I want to be enough that I will come first in his mind and his heart.
I want to know that having known him for more than half my life is enough to stop us feeling like strangers.
I want to know that I am enough that I am still his best friend.
I want to know that my love for him is enough to get us to another ten years and more.

I want to be enough for him, even though in my heart, I feel like I often am not...

  1. Wow, what a great post! Love your honesty! And even though you judge yourself too harshly I would imagine, I bet you really are enough (and more). Remember Sproetjies...
