A happy little thought about my husband

A happy little thought about my husband – by Rocket_owl

Posted on April 17, 2015 by Kindness Blog http://kindnessblog.com/author/thekindnessblog/

Last night while asleep in our bed my husband let out a startled moan.

I then felt his hand patting the comforter – searching for me. It came to rest once it found my side.

I realized I LOVE that:

Despite the fact he is a 28-year-old, dirty hand working, beer drinking, beard growing man.

Despite the fact he sleeps with a baseball bat beside him because he knows it makes me feel safe.

Despite the fact he served 5 years in the army which included one tour to Afghanistan.

I’M the one that protects him from bad dreams.

Life Outside The Boundry

This is a Blog I follow on WordPress by Peter Wells in his blog called CountingDucks. https://countingducks.wordpress.com I Had entered the winner’s circle: wealth, travel and: ( check,check,check. ) women: mine and any one else’s I could charm. I could walk into any restaurant and they would say, “On us sir” and I would nod, because modesty is part of the package. I was a known speaker, whose financial visions had been aired on television. I had children by more than two women, all of them cherished and nurtured because that’s what civilised people do. My money was my own to spend in my lifetime, but my children could inherit my insights to light their future, and trust in their own abilities. All, well and good. Pat on the back for the big man, and mine’s a large one. Oh yes, I could ” Hang out” with the crowd and sniff a line of something: drink without regard to safety and spread the ...

The Ship Breakers

This wonderful story has been written by Allan Hudson It won an honorable mention in the Kyle Douglas memorial short story contest, sponsored by New Brunswick Writers Federation. Despite those accolades! I thoroughly enjoyed the factual and humane elements Allan has seemingly woven into the tale. Please do not credit me, but Allan himself at http://allanhudson.blogspot.ca/ where you can also read more of his works. The Neptune Giant is a VLCC, a very large crude carrier . When it was completed in 1979, it ranked among the largest oil tankers in the world. From bow to stern, 75 Cadillacs could park bumper to bumper. The crews used bicycles to travel the elongated deck. With a beam of nearly two hundred feet, five bungalows could be placed lengthwise side by side across the deck; her keel is six stories underwater. The raw steel is covered with over fifteen hundred gallons of paint. She’d been given a lifespan of thirty years; i...
