-------------------------------------------------

hello Our Dayley Happenings readers!! i'm soexcited to be over here sharing Holly's corner of the blogosphere. Isn't shethe cutest!?! and i LOVE her puppies. makes me jealous! but I guess having onetoddler is pretty much the same thing :) kidding!

i guess i should introduce myself before i startthe inappropriate jokes. my name is Megan Robinson and a wife, mommy, randomdance party-er, joker and wannabe yoga master! i blog over at {and here'sto you, Mrs. Robinson} and love it! i havehad my little bloggity-blog for a while but just recently started developing areal passion for it. i like to talk about everything from my family, marriage,my chubby boy, and my every day struggles that we can all relate to.

i just recently got hired by StrongerMarriage.org to be their official Stronger Marriageblogger!! i love it so much and it really is my dream job! sincei spend a lot of time researching and writing about marriage, it's on my mind alot. so i thought it would be fun to talk about something i learned over heretoday!

on the anniversary of 9/11, me and my husbandwere mad at each other. like, pretty contentious mad. Feelings werehurt, we were annoyed with each other, and there was just a hugeproblemwith communication the whole day. and to make the situation worse, hewas leaving to go out of town for an interview the next day.

i am not proud of this day.

at one point, after we both kind of snapped, ilaid in bed reading and looking at websites on my phone because i couldn'tsleep. i knew i should apologize, i knew iwas being petty, i knew a lot the argumentwas my fault, but i have a really big problem with PRIDE.

{and i really hate caving in.}

while i was perusing facebook, i started readingall the different statuses people posted about remember 9/11 and honoring thosewho died. i then remember reading one in particular (i don't remember whoexactly) saying that the biggest lesson they learned from the 9/11 attacks wasto hold your loved ones close & to cherish them.

i'm sure you can guess what happened next....
i.felt.so.GUILTY!

i realized what a huge jerk i was being and thati really wasn't cherishing my husband at all!

i immediately got up, swallowed my pride,and went to my husband to ask for forgiveness.

at that point, it didn't matter whose fault itwas or who was meaner to who
what mattered is that we loved each other & caredfor each other
{we just lost sight of what we have for a second}

so my question to you isthis:

how often do we all lose sight of what reallymatters?
how often do we all forget to truly cherish our loved ones in our every dayactions through life?

how often do we say i love you?

or give hugs?

or give kisses?

i know i have a lot to work on!

i'm definitely not perfect.

but i know that if i try hard to keep thateternal perspective of what life & marriage & family is all about, iwill be able to more fully cherish& love those close to me!!

how are some ways you try to keep your lovedones close and cherish them often??

i would love to hear your thoughts!!

thank you again,Holly for letting me share my thoughts with your readers! i loved writingover here today and i'm excited to meet lots of new people! hope you comeover and visit me soon! :)
