This guy tonight was talking to a girl who was getting a tattoo. He asked her whose name should come first, hers or his, and she said his. When her "he" came in, Mr. Tattoo asked "he" whose name should go first...and he said hers, of course. Mr. Tattoo then imparted some wisdom on the couple...he said, "You two will make it, you know." And they asked how he knew that, and his response: "It's simple. I asked you both whose name should come first, and you both answered the other person should be first. If you are willing to put the other person first, and instinctively like you just did, then your relationship has a really good chance of lasting. There is no hope for a relationship where either or both of the people put themselves before the other."
It seems like such a simple thing, doesn't it, but when you think about it, I think Mr. Tattoo is a pretty smart guy. I love hearing the insight that others have and learning from them. Thank you, Mr. Tattoo, for a lesson learned tonight.
Who do you put first? I'm going to try to be more conscious of who I choose to be first. I don't want to be a selfish person, and I'm sure you don't, either.
Happy LOOOONG weekend, Friends!!!
(For picture's sake....he is the 'tween stage of the removal of she who must not be named....she is all gone now, but I'll have to post that photo at a later date as I did not get one tonight. I will say this: Emerald is a really cool dragon.....)
