Perfect Person

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All
of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to
partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had
by all.

The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was
very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love
they had for each other was true.

A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I
read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our
marriage." she offered.

"Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit
annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix
them together and make our lives happier together."

The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the
house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.
They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote
down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table,
they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start,"
offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it.
Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of
the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear
in her husbands eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep
reading your list."

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her
husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands
over top of it.

"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both
of our lists." She said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I
think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to
change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't
want to try and change anything about you."

The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her
and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed
and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them.

We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.

Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or
annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things
before us?

I believe that WE ARE HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good and
try our best to forget the bad. Nobody's perfect but we can find
perfectness in them to change the way we see them.
