Day 6: A Moment I Wish I Could Relive

Lisa: This was a little harder for me, I had to think about it all day. So... do I want to relive a moment and change it or just relive a moment as it was? I also couldn't think of just a single moment. I have missed going to all the events that my children have participated in from the first soccer game of Mikes, to the last dance competition of ShanTays, and all the swim and dive meets, track meets, choir performances, plays, graduations, camps, etc., etc., etc., in between. I loved watching my children succeed and growing in the things they enjoyed doing. I also thought alot about the first time each one of my children were placed in my arms for the first time after they were born. Each was such an incredible moment. I have decided that I will for ever cherish each moment I have had with my children and that I don't really want to relive any of them. Each one is a great memory that I will always have. I just want to have many, many more wonderful moments together!

Tony: I wish I could relive the day I agreed to do this challenge..... Then I could use Mike's line. "Or not."
I, like Lisa, have cherished the times with my children and their accomplishments. I miss sitting on the couch on Saturday mornings with my kids sitting next to me. When they were all safe and secure in my arms. Those were good days. But I am a fortunate man. I get to relive my favorite moment every day. The moment I look into Lisa's eyes and see the love I feel for her reflected back to me.

Day 5: Favorite Quote

Lisa: I have a couple of quotes that I like. I don't know who said these first two.
"Live in such a way that those who know you, but don't know God, will want the know God, because they know you."
*****
Thought on Marriage: The path that leads to happiness is so narrow that two can't walk on it unless...they are one.
*****
This one has to be the best though:
"I never meant anything more in my whole life." by Darla Miles

Tony: Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ouselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightend about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of Gd that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we uncounsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

I really like reality TV but my favorite show is the Lost series.

The basic concept of good overcoming evil in every episode had an influence on my life. That and the Vulcan mind control - Get Me Pizza - Get Me Pizza.

Day 3 - Favorite book

Lisa - The Book of Mormon: This one was easy, since I really haven't read that many books. I confess I like the ones with lots of pictures, aka magazines. But how can you not love a book that make you feel as good as this one.



Tony - The White Dragon

Day 2 - Favorite Movie

Lisa: The Blind Side, I love Sandra Bullock movies and this was her best so far. A great story plus you can't help but love this womens personality.



Tony - Chisum
