what's on the top of your list?

all this team talk (see yet another blog below!)
has me thinking......

when you create that list in your mind for what you
want in a partner...
when you dream of things as a young woman for the partner
you want....
when you get out the piece of paper as an older woman
and decide to write it all down......

do you put TEAM MATE first on the top line???

i didn't.
don't think that ever even made the list...let alone
hit the top three things!

and yeah!!! i actually listed stuff at one point.
(it's a long, great story of how i actually made
a list because of a bet from a friend...
who turned out to be the person i was looking for
and didn't know it!!!!
ahhh...but that's another blog....)

as i sit here and look at the most moving moments
with my partner, i see a common theme. every single
one of 'em was filled with the feeling of being a
team. a team of true friends.

and then i replay a recent conversation with a married
friend. 'team' isn't anything that they are about.
there's control, and tolerating....not team work.

how did they lose that?
did they ever have it?
and then i look back at my own history....
there's gonna be a lot to look at there for me.

one thing i know.
it's something that's vital.
and it's something i don't want to lose again.

may i never take that lightly...
