Positive Post Tuesday



Today I would like to recognize my husband Mark in my Positive Post. Mark and I have been married for 5 years (two months and 9 days, but who's counting) but our story began in September twenty six years ago (that's 1981 if you hate Math as much as I do). We were High School sweethearts.

Diana and Mark 2005


Rather than take you through each of those years, the lyrics to Alanis Morissette's Head Over Feet cover some of what is wonderful about Mark, my husband and best friend (with my notes) :
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again (You still state your case time and again)
I thought about it (and I think about it and appreciate it!)

You treat me like I'm a princess (I am The Diana)
I'm not used to liking that (still)
You ask how my day was (and ask how you can make it better)

You've already won me over in spite of me (in spite of all the times I've pushed you away)
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet (and I want to fall over and over again, for the rest of my life)
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for (you took me on)
That's not lip service

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things (Like Alison said "he loves you like no one else ever has)
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
I love you Mark.
