My husband and I are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary today on October 15th. I’ve learned so many things during my journey through life with him that I thought I would share 15 of my life lessons with you.
- Breathe: No matter how crazy life gets, there’s always time to take a deep breath.
- Dream: Think about and talk about your dreams regularly.
- Take Action: Many of our dreams from the past 15 years are a reality today because we talked about them and took action to make them come true.
- Laugh Often: He tries to make me laugh every day. Sometimes I groan at his bad jokes, but he won’t quit until he gets me to laugh, which in turn makes him laugh.
- Celebrate: Sometimes we have champagne on Tuesday, just because it’s Tuesday and we’re alive.
- Don’t Wait: We went out on our first date because I asked him out. Maybe he would have asked me out if I had waited, but why risk missing out on something great because fear held me back?
- The Dust Will Wait: Dust accumulates in our house when we’re focused on more important priorities, like celebrating Tuesday and laughing together.
- Listen with Empathy: We give each other space to vent frustrations without always trying to solve the problem.
- Help Others: Some of our most enjoyable and fulfilling time together is when we’re helping others.
- Ask for Help: My career took off when I asked him for support to take over a few things at home.
- Enjoy the Scenery: We take time to share stories about the little things that amused us every day.
- Play: We are both the best versions of ourselves when we recharge our batteries and make time to go on adventures.
- Give Compliments: He’s a great cook, and I tell him that all the time. He appreciates the compliments, and that might be why he keeps him cooking for me.
- Receive Compliments: He hates when I deflect his compliments, and I’ve learned to accept them sincerely.
- Be Grateful: There’s always something to be grateful for, hence the occasional champagne on a Tuesday.
Wishing you the best!
Amy
