How to know if a relationship is right.

Sometimes it can happen that when a certain two people are together, each one is a bigger person, a better person, than either of them is separately. There really are some like that. It's not a fairy tale -- just rare.

If you find the person who makes you feel that way -- not by browbeating you or anything like that, but by inspiring you just by who they are -- to find the "best self" you didn't know was in you... that's the right person. That's "as good as it gets" in this life.

(p.s. I'm not a guy, but gender doesn't make a difference.)



Loving You Makes Me a Better Man

Sung by Vince Gill, lyrics by Rodney Crowell.

Loving you makes me a better man
There's things I don't know how to do
But you make me think I can

I've got a long way to go
But I know what I know like the back of my hand
Loving you makes me a better man

I've been wrong, more than I care to say
Time after time I've been lost
Just couldn't find my way

You shed a light on a path through the night
Leading right to the side where I stand
Loving you makes me a better man

I made mistakes, didn't have what it takes
Just to walk out, leave it alone
I've got a long line of heartaches that followed me home

Time goes on and I watch it disappear
I've got a mind of my own
Now that I have you near

You came to me and it's easy to see
There's a line that I've crossed in the sand
Loving you makes me a better man
Loving you makes me a better man

About Waiting For Everyman

My namesake... http://youtu.be/GgXzWhexJh0 ... If I were asked to recommend only one political / history book it would be this one... http://www.amazon.com/Treason-America-Anton-Chaitkin/dp/0943235006 ... Treason in America: from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman, by Anton Chaitkin. I do NOT endorse all of the views by Chaitkin external to this book, nor all of his actions, nor all of his associations, but I DO highly recommend this book. It is one every US citizen and everyone interested in its history should read. It it well written, meticulously sourced, and it is eye-opening -- even for those who consider themselves already knowledgeable. If you have not read it before, you need to read it, it is need-to-know information, and what it has to say is not going to be found in many places, if anywhere, else. That is my tip for whoever is passing by.
