Miracle of...

Sunday morning- Simmy got up on and put the coffee on. As predicted, it was raining but only slightly. With matrimonial cake in hand, Simmy went to check on her blog. It never ceases to amaze me which 'Search keywords' will bring people to your blog.
'j m quote on changing your husband' was sitting there under that category and, at first, Simmy thought it was funny... but then, she started to think of all the trials she had been through in a very tough relationship with Sam. So,... she wrote a letter... to the woman who typed in the 'Search Keywords' quote on changing your husband.
Dear Suffering Wife,
It takes a miracle... yes, it does. Unfortunately, the miracle will probably happen over a long span of years. That is sometimes the problem with miracles. They don't happen quite as quickly as we expect. Now, you are probably wondering what is in that Miracle bag.
I'm going to tell you!

First, a sore back and knees from,... you guessed it... praying for a miracle.
Second, the Bible you buy for that stubborn man cause you know nobody but God has the power to change him. Warning- He may take that gift as a judgment but only at first! When he starts to read it, he'll get all caught up in the adventure, sometimes quite gory... men love a good gory adventure...
Third, hair products that can change your hair back to the color it was before you started... "Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying..." Turn on Dionne Warwick and sing along!
Fourth- maybe a book by Stormie O'Martian... Now you and I know that the day the honeymoon was over you found a martian in your bed where your new husband had been and we also know how stormy things got after that so you might as well read a book by that girl called... The Power of a Praying Wife.
Fifth- feathers... lots of feathers... some for the cushion you're going to kneel on every day and...
Hey, a feather boa for when you've got a good attitude about all this stormy stuff.
Sixth- Something to help you 'unclench' your teeth from biting back your words... Medication? A small bottle of wine... occasionally... Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding so if that is where all the trouble started, it was Jesus Himself who gave us all the wine solution.
Seventh- Band aids...

Now, I'm not trying to be overly dramatic here... that scar just happens to be there at an opportune time for me to bring in a little symbolism.
Really, it is from dropping a dot of hot glue in my hand as I make all the stuff for my Christmas Sale which, so far, has brought in a whopping $50 in three days... not counting the money earned from baking. That is what the other scars are from on the arms.

P.S. Wikipedia defines 'Entrepreneur' as... 'an owner or manger of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative... and accepts full responsibility for the outcome.'

Let me tell you, so far, there has been lots of initiative and risk and not much money but I am still taking full responsibility, every day, for the outcome.
Sounds like marriage, huh?
