A Payment A Day - Part 8!

euronorris

Morning all!

In a better mood today. Got home and OH arrived with English treats from the English shop. He also received a letter from the Bank Giro Lotterij advising him that he had won two tickets to a beach concert on 5th June.

He has no interest in the concert, but I do! hahaha. So, he's given the tickets to me and I'm hoping that a friend of mine from the UK can come over for the weekend. There are 3 bands, Kane and Direct (both famous Dutch bands) and then Bon Jovi to finish. The friend I've invited loves Bon Jovi, but not sure if she can make it. If not, I'll ask someone here.

My dentist appointment was cancelled at the last minute this morning. Apparently my Crown hasn't arrived due to 'no flights' thing recently, so have to go next week instead. Why they couldn't have told me this yesterday, I don't know, but nevermind.

The work issues also appear to be resolving today, finally!

All in all, not too bad really.

Have a good day all.

PS. Wesker - I am so sorry to hear your cat is so unwell. Big hugs for you!

Good morning all, well done euro on winning those tickets! I never win anything, but every time me and my friend enter the same thing, she usually wins. And that dress is lovely!!
Wesker, thats a good idea about trying a bland diet. Really hope kitty improves xx
Girlatplay its entirely up to you whether you include it.... I now include my minimum payments on here but not in my personal pad amount.

Well, work was completely fine yesterday, we only bought 12 passengers back from edinburgh!! Im going a bit further afield today though so this one might be busier. My friend who I am chief bridesmaid for has asked me to do a reading at their wedding too. I've come up with 3 that i like for different reasons...... can you all please let me know which you like? Sorry for the huge post!!:o

[FONT=&quot]Never marry but for Love[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]William Penn (1644-1718)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Never marry but for love; but see that thou lovest what is lovely. He that minds a body and not a soul has not the better part of that relationship, and will consequently lack the noblest comfort of a married life.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. As love ought to bring them together, so it is the best way to keep them well together.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A husband and wife that love one another show their children that they should do so too. Others visibly lose their authority in their families by their contempt of one another, and teach their children to be unnatural by their own examples.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Let not enjoyment lessen, but augment, affection ; it being the basest of passions to like when we have not, what we slight when we possess.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here it is we ought to search out our pleasure, where the field is large and full of variety, and of an enduring nature; sickness, poverty or disgrace being not able to shake it because it is not under the moving influences of worldly contingencies.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Nothing can be more entire and without reserve; nothing more zealous, affectionate and sincere; nothing more contented than such a couple, nor greater temporal felicity than to be one of them.

On Marriage
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.


Blessing For A Marriage
James Dillet Freeman
May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.
May you always need one another - not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete; the valley does not make the mountain less, but more; and the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering over it. So let it be with you and you.
May you need one another, but not out of weakness.
May you want one another, but not out of lack.
May you entice one another, but not compel one another.
May you embrace one another, but not out encircle one another.
May you succeed in all important ways with one another, and not fail in the little graces.
May you look for things to praise, often say, "I love you!" and take no notice of small faults.
If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back.
May you enter into the mystery which is the awareness of one another's presence - no more physical than spiritual, warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.
May you have happiness, and may you find it making one another happy.
May you have love, and may you find it loving one another!

Thanks Green and Sashy and FF.... when I emailed my friend, she liked that one too. It's so hard as I don't want it less than perfect. I do have a while to think about it though.
