Well I am an Ass...


      My kids have been away at summer camp for the week.  The wife and I have a good week, or so I was thinking..  Not her fault, see I am a man, I am not sure if it is a man problem as a whole, or just me.  My wife has been asking to do something so very simple.  Lets go to the park and have a picnic.  What is my response, no that  sounds like a lot of work.  See my wife likes that sort of thing. I not so much, and so not what I want to do. So we never do it. Tonight there a free concert in town, I say lets go and see whats up.  She hears, lets go sit in the grass, have a picnic and watch a concert. I am thinking lets check it out and move on.  Lets just say I hurt my wife's feeling.  Not my intention but I did it none the less. I got her hopes up that we were finally going to do the one thing she really wanted to do.  Through our discussion she pointed out I say no to most the thing that don't sound fun to me, or sound like to much of a hassel. From this day forward I am making a commitment to say yes to the things my wife and kids want to do, and have a good attitude about it. So men if you read this. And if you thinking what am I doing wrong. I am here to tell you, its not all about you. Try saying yes to the things she and they want to do. A chick flick is that bad and you might actually like it. I strive to nurture, protect and show my wife everyday that I love her. But I lose the important  things to much. Don't focus of one of the area because you hurt instead of help.  All I had to do is listen....


Another day in the Walk......
