Congratulations! Nicely done.

This brings to mind a quote a good friend of mine gave me many years ago: "The greatest gift one can give another is a deeper understanding of life and the ability to love and believe in self." Chanteau

[Rosa Say]

What generosity Chris, in this wonderful sharing of your personal story, mahalo.

Mana‘o is indeed the right word, and your mana‘o has very tangibly emerged as your ho‘ohana, the work you do with purpose and passion.

I’ll bet there are a lot of heads nodding as they read this, and like SweetP once did, they are saying to themselves, “I want what they’ve got!”

[Chris]

Thanks Steve and Rosa.
Steve, I think you "got it"! Chanteau's quote is what my beliefs are all about.
Funny you should say that Rosa. I had one friend read my draft for comments and editing and her first response was "I want some of that!"

Chris, You have eloquently widened my panoramic view on learning! You prove it is just so without boundaries. And your comment about your sons and sex is too funny!!

[Starbucker]

Chris, thanks for this vivid reminder of how great relationships don't just "happen", and how complacency can smolder the flames of love. Lifelong learning is a necessity for lifelong loving too, and as I enter my 17th year of marriage your great post has kept that thought in the forefront of my mind, where it belongs. Thanks again!

Chris, this is a powerful example that you've given us. What a wonderful story of not only restoration, but of relational vitality. I have learned many of the things that you wrote here having been married for 17 years myself (to the same person...not starbucker:). I know that there is so much more that we can become and learn in the next 17 years together.
