63 years; Mr & Mrs. Smith

Today is a holiday so to speak in the Smith family. Today, March 10, 2009, marks the celebration of my grandgparent's 63rd anniversary!

These are the two wisest young people i know, and I want the world to know.

Here's what my grandmother taught me a few years ago, that I'd love to share with you. It's one reason that I think my grandparents have stayed together for so long.

I was having a little issue with people pleasing. Below is grandma's reply:

Honey, I told Simmy, I can't please myself 100% of the time, so I know I won' t be able to please you. If you can't accept that, then maybe we need to do each other a favor and go our separate ways...

What a  simple way to put it, grandma!Hence they will be celebrating 63 years... Once we decide to love people for who they are, not necessarily what we want them to be or do, we would be much better off  appreciating each other.

Happy 63rd Anniversary, Grandma and Grandaddy!
