The best day in your life

It´s been an average Wednesday. As your hand extends to open the door, your mouth stretches from ear to ear. Your steps rap joyfully on the floor, taking you to where you´ll find the hug that greets you. That night, your head rests calmly on the pillow, and you know tomorrow is going to be another best day.

Let´s face it, if you think your wedding day was (or is going to be) the best day of your life, you might as well die: there´s nothing left to look forward to.

Your best day has to be this one. Today. An average Whateverday that takes you from sunrise to sunset, waking up to and going to sleep with, the person you feel happiest with.

That´s the target. I´m not saying that every day should be ideal, just that it could be. You shouldn´t need a big production, like a wedding, or a birthday, to feel great about your relationship. Because life happens every day, not just on your anniversary.

So go ahead, have crappy days, that´s ok. But have wonderful, average days, too.

You just have to find the person to share them with.

Just a friend

And that´s the problem with that dagger: "let´s JUST be friends" means exactly that. Just. As in, there´s nothing else. Nichts. Because a warm coat of fur, big ears, and waggly tail can fill that space too, and you are not looking for a pet here.

Physical attraction is not the most important thing in a relationship, but it is (very) important. It tips the scales on the "I´m going to like waking up to you everyday for the rest of my life, side". It makes you tingle in that tender place when you suddenly see your partner. It´s the blow that forces that "wow" from your lips when you meet for a date.

Time does not fade it when you combine it with all the other things that make a good relationship turn.

So go ahead and look out for beauty in the form you can best appreciate it, and pair it up with other good qualities. Or just look for a friend in your nearest kennel.
