Love, love, love. Is love truly all you need? Exploring the wonderful to the wacky about love and romance.
George Carlin
& Sally Wade
I’m sure that most of us have heard about George Carlin passing on June 22 from heart failure. While we know that he was a thoroughly irreverent comedian, infamous for his “Seven Words You Can’t Say On TV,” what you might not know is that George Carlin was a happily married man twice and without a divorce. How many of us get that lucky even once?

“She was the most special thing in my life and still is,” says Donald Joye about his wife Phyllis, with whom he’s shared 50 years of married bliss. How incredible is that!
They met in junior high and it was love at first sight. They secretly married while still in high school and somehow managed to keep their marriage secret (their parents had figured it out anyway, but approved and also kept their secret) so they could graduate and Phyllis could still be the homecoming queen. She never had a wedding dress, but had her prom dress altered to fit for their 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Read their fairy tale love story here.

First off, I fell off the wagon with blogging. My life took one of those sudden 180 degree turns, unfortunately, right in the middle of the Week of Positive Blogging, which I couldn’t finish. I had to make some major life decisions, drop everything and turn my 100% focus on them. Ah, life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. Sometimes it’s “yay” and other times it’s “nay.” The nice thing is that eventually, even out of a “nay” situation you can come up with some “yays.”

Forgive me, this is from an email from a friend, but there are so many funny gems here about how kids view love and marriage, I just had to post them. It seems that kids develop some pretty sophisticated opinions even at an early age—some of these are spot on! You might be surprised at what they pick up from their parents and other married couples. How do you think that your kids would answer these questions? Why not ask them a few and please share their answers here!

How many ways are you encouraged to live a fearful life? TV and magazine ads tell us we must avoid bacteria and use bacterial wipes (which are rather ineffective according to many reports), pills are offered for every type of ache and pain in our bodies with a yard-long list of side effects, we should worry about not having enough money for retirement, pet food is contaminated, toys have lead…the list is endless. While we don’t think that we absorb all of these fears on a conscious level, our subconsious is storing all the fear, worry and anxiety stories for us. We wonder why we get used to doing the same ‘ol, same ‘ol. Society is programming us to be fearful and we wind up only doing things that are “safe” without questioning what the cost of this so-called safety is taking from our full embracing of life and all its possibilities.
