Feeling Relaxed

(Getting Shot) Down to Earth....


I had to laugh... I was getting ready to interview a couple of the women football players and air it during the halftime of our last regular season game. I turn on my computer and right there on my desktop is a picture of my beloved, my best girl, my love... my gal pal. The player looks at the picture and says "Hey Mik, is that your girlfriend?" I smile and proudly say "Yep, she sure is" and the player says "wow, she's really pretty." I say "thank you" and as I'm preparing to get things going for the interview, this player coughs up a little gem: "Geez, she's really pretty. How did YOU get her?" The other girl football players bust up laughing hysterically and when the player realizes what she said, she freaked and says "oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. " Me, I thought it was funny. It also kept me grounded and not to get egotistical or to take myself seriously. And to be grateful for a great lady for me to love... and even better... she loves ME... woo-hoo!!!

    Apparently they don't know you like we know you...the guy I've come to call friend is someone that deserves that beautiful woman. In my eyes you both got a catch worth hanging on to. (Hugs)Indigo

    That is funny Mik- and your gal pal is a beautiful woman (can you hear the envy in  my typing?!) tell her I want her hair!  Anyway, where was I?  Oh right.  I never was much of a looker myself- and whenI got married the first time, my (ex) husband was a good looking guy.  Well, I was always feeling the same- like how did a good looking guy end up with me?  Unfortunately, I never did quite match up with all the pretty girls who walked by.  With my husband Michael, whom I am so in love with, blessed with and by, I no longer feel ugly nor do I concentrate on his looks (he is cute- but in a way different way!)  Now, it's the person I love and I know he loves me for who I am- imperfections on the outside and inside.  I sure do hope you two get married Mik- you both deserve the best, and I think you've both already got that.  God Bless you two so much!  Love Carolyn

    Well that's an easy answer Mik, that girl doesn't know you.  If she did, she would realize what a precious individual you are and a very easy person to love.  It's not rocket scientist Mik, its everything you read in Corinthians 13, and it shows each time you talk about your gal pal.  God Bless.

    Opps, conversational misstep.  I don't know how you got her ;-), but I do know that you love & cherish her, which is how you'll keep her. The getting is often easy, it is the keeping...
