What Can I Do To Make Your Day Better

Richard Paul Evans and his wife Keri have been married for years and it got to a time, their marriage was no longer working as it should. As a matter of fact, things in their marriage got so bad that their oldest daughter, Jenna noticed. Here is what Richard Paul Evans , being a concerned Husband did and he Wrote. My oldest daughter, Jenna, recently said to me, “My greatest fear as a child was that you and mom would get divorced. Then, when I was 12, I decided that you fought so much that maybe it would be better if you did.” Then she added with a smile. “I’m glad you guys figured things out.” For years, my wife, Keri, and I struggled. Looking back, I’m not exactly sure what initially drew us together, but our personalities didn’t quite match up. And the longer we were married the more extreme the differences seemed. Encountering “fame and fortune” didn’t make our marriage any easier. In fact, it exacerbated our problems. The tension between us got so bad that going out on a book tour

Know, Keep Knowing People In Our Lives

A doctor wrote, It was a busy morning, about 8:30 when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I wasn’t busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while! As she is a victim of Alzheimer's disease . As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. H

My Father - Poem

By Costly Oma .  1. Who for the thought of me drove him to her. Bringing their path closer more and more. Separated only just by time, distance, and chance. 2. He, Who despite the persistent blockages of life. And the persistent resistance from her persisted. Like in a tunnel, saw a light, me. 3. He who against all odds. Made a dream of me in his heart. And worked on it coming to pass. 4. He who laboured in the fields. Both in ash and favourable conditions. Not minding the vulnerabilities of the times. 5. He who cut and put up trees. He who tilled and cultivated the soil. Under the sun and in the rain. 6. He who crossed villages, towns, cities. He who trekked and paddled. Both under the sun and in the rain. 7. All these and more, you did. Just for me, you did. Just to make me a better person than you were. 8. Holding his hands while walking, Was like having every good thing I ever needed in my hands. And his walking-stick I was called by his pairs. 9. My father, My thoughts, you guided

What The Coming Back Of Your EX Truly Means

By Costly Oma . "Sometimes your EX comes back around to check if you are still stupid. Sometimes your boyfriend comes back around to check if you are still stupid." Those statements above or the statements that seemed like those ones above have been around for a long time now and I'm sure that social media is housing quite a lot of such statements presently. I've never quite agreed with any of such statements from the start but I really did not want to say anything about it because as far as I'm concerned, people are subject to having their own opinion about things as such. Surprisingly, the long-overdue opinion I didn't want to share was triggered by a post from someone I thought to think differently on the subject. I've not met this person before but we have been following each other's activities for quite some time and I was surprised to visit this person's wall on this day and be greeted with "Sometimes your EX comes back around to check i
