Love is what you give away.

Every time you are stuck in rush-hour traffic it is interesting to look around at the various license plates to see where people are from and of course to try and figure out what the special combinations of letters and numbers mean to their owners. Some are very simple and depict a favorite sport or team or how much they love their car. Others are extremely complicated and it seems the vanity in that situation is that no one can guess the correct answer. One of the senior members at my golf club had the license plate 8 ACES, as that was the number of holes in one he had accumulated. He had had that license plate for many years and needed to replace the plate and ordered a new one. While waiting for the plate to arrive he scored another hole-in-one and had to reorder the plate which now says 9 Aces. A few days ago I saw a vanity plate that I can't stop thinking about. It read RIC and Me. Who is me? Think of the number of times during the day when we all try to bring a little glory on ourselves. We try to be the first to tell big news or we pass on gossip about someone, (did you ever notice that when you gossip about someone else you say the gossip in the way that makes you look better than the person you're gossiping about), and revel in the spotlight of bringing value by being the first one to share the news. Whoever the creator of this license plate is clearly puts others first. Not only are they not looking for glory they prefer to remain anonymous by excluding their name. I would like to meet" ME". This person understands that love is what you give away. By identifying Ric only they have put the focus on the person they love and not on them selves, a great lesson in loving on purpose. What behavior change will you effect today in order to improve your relationship with your spouse?
