stay sweet, never change

when i was little, my mom gave me a ring 
that was engraved with the phrase,
"stay sweet, never change". 
i don't know what happened to the ring
(i'm sure i lost it somewhere)
but that saying has always stuck with me.
i think now that i'm married,
being sweet is more important than it's ever been.
if there's one thing i've learned 
in my two and a half years of marriage,
it's that the most important thing is to be kind to each other.
i know it's not rocket science,
but when i make an effort to be sweeter
and ignore stupid things that bother me but shouldn't,
our marriage is so much happier
(luckily for me, richie's one of the sweetest guys
in the world, so he makes it easy).
