Every good relationship requires negotiation. As you can see, Missy and Patches are still working at it.
I am blessed that hubby and I seldom have to negotiate. His is such a kind and generous heart that I am almost never in want of anything in particular. Just as today, when he is away picking up his new truck, my heart is joyous in knowing that I can share in this gift to himself. While he aimed low in seeking out to possibly buy a friend's old truck, I encouraged him to get something that he likes. Once he passed by the Dodge Ram, all else paled in comparison. And, knowing his rear is rolling down the road in the big red truck does my heart good this evening.
The art of negotiation binds the places where we draw boundaries, the blessed give-and-take of all of our relationships...may we all be artisans of the trade.
