Yes, there is something about men chopping wood...... I always thought that was sexy. I used to love that too.

A man who abandons his wife and children because of his infidelity is no price. I can do better then that, I deserve better then that.

The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow

Men must be honest with themselves before they can be honest with others. A man who is not honest with himself presents a hopeless case

I have found that one compliment breeds another. It is just getting the first few started. I noticed that the more I compliment H the more he compliments me.

There is something very attractive about men doing physical labor.

Sorry, my wife has always said this to me, and I never figured out why. I consider myself "normal" or average in every way, yet she persists in sitting and staring at me when I work outside! LOL.

I think what you wrote is awesome and healthy and well... Just good.

LOL.
There is something primal about this I think. The smell of woodsmoke in his hair, the sawdust on his clothes, watching him chop wood for a fire to keep us warm together makes me feel very safe and cared for.

H would say he is a fairly ordinary-looking man, but I don't see him that way at all.
