The most significant relationship....

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous" - Carrie Bradshaw

I adore the Sex and the City series for quotes like this one. Yes, it is sometimes crude, sometimes raunchy, but always thought provoking. I love this quote and have to say.....that I am lucky to have someone who loves the me I love, maybe even more than I sometimes love me.
As women I think we are often so incredibly hard on ourselves. Whether it is a societal push or something just ingrained in us at some point in our lives.

Every morning (except one per week) I drag myself out of bed for my morning run. On mornings when Chris is home, I go anyways. I have to do it for me, my sanity. I suppose it is the third "person" in our relationship. He is different than me. He likes to work out later in the day, but he also knows how important getting my morning run out of the way is. When I am lucky he throws on some warm clothes and jumps on the bike to come with me.

Although some days I may enjoy the idea of being in my own head, there is just something so nice about having someone to talk to. Throwing out that thought to be discussed....to pass the time. When there is someone else, the soreness is easier to deal with, the chill isn't so cold..... I guess all in all I guess all I wanted to say in this blog was:
Thank you for loving me for me.

It's a humbling moment to be at your most vulnerable (physically or emotionally) in front of your partner, and yet see that they never leave your side, that they love you more for the mear fact that you are being YOU and the person they love the most. I'm so glad you and Chris have one another.....
