Re: "Thank You First"

My Lifes been like one great big book,

Twists and turns, some very sad, But Some fantastic.

When things seems to be going awry in my life, I have a pet phrase that I toss off to remind me of a deep truth. It's EAT-O-TWIST, which is an acronym for Everything Allways Turns Out The Way It's Supposed To. By 'supposed to' I mean the way that we expect things to turn out, the way we spend our time 'supposing' things will turn out, matches the way they will turn out. That 'supposing' is pure creative energy, rightly understood, but it is seldom rightly understood. If we apply such a creative force over time to destroy the things we would else treasure, who can we blame but ourselves?

Jeff,
Just a suggestion. If I were you I'd somehow try to hide from your wife the songs you write inspired by her. Put them all on one CD and give it to her for a special occasion. (anniversary,birthday,etc) She must be a great person for you to create such beautiful tributes of song. Well done, again.
