To quote Mr Zig Ziglar:
'Money can buy you a real nice bed, but it can't buy you a good night's sleep'.
I remember the nights when I couldn't sleep. Mainly because every time I thought about the money I'd wasted, or the lies I'd told my wife I would get a knot in my stomach and my brain would be going round and round in circles, yet the next day or at least in the next few days I would be laid there again with the same regrets and the same feelings of guilt.
I remember trying not to breathe in her direction so she wouldn't smell the beer on my breath, because she thought I had just been out working. I'd make sure I didn't put my hand too close to her face so she'd smell the nicotine on my fingers, as I had promised to quit....again.
How did I not see it as bad?
When I moved back in with Torz and the kids, although at first it felt a little awkward, I can honestly say that I don't think I had slept as well as that for months.
She knew about the spending and we dealt with it. I had no alcohol in my system which helps ridiculously in getting a good night's sleep. Plus I didn't come to bed stinking of cigarette smoke.
Being in a relationship means you no longer should think about only doing what makes you happy. It's about compromise and communication. It's not always easy, I know that.
We have our ups and downs still, but we know what to do more so these days.
If you truly love someone and they love you, then there is always a way to work things out.
We can find true peace of mind and joy in doing things from the heart.
No amount of money, booze or cigarettes can buy you that.
I'm going to enjoy your blogs if they are this open, honest and inspiring. A man who can't make a mistake can't do anything - but if he can admit and learn from his mistakes - then watch his journey progress!
