A Simple Pleasure

A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it. - Anne Morrow Lindbergh


Don't just take time; make time.

Limited Resources

Return on Investment

To finish up my mini-series on women I give you this poem:

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.  
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.  
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.  
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.  
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.  
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. 
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit. - Anon

Solutions

A women under stress is not immediately concerned with finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood. - John Gray
