Chicago celebrates St. Patrick's Day by
dyeing the Chicago River emerald green every
year. Thousands look on, cheering a three man crew on a tiny motorboat that pours
a powder into the water changing the color. You could say that the weekend was
a pretty lucky one, and Irish eyes were smiling in more ways than one. Over the
weekend, two good friends of mine became engaged, and I loved being there to
take in the surprise. The look on her face when he got down on one knee and
proposed was worth the price of admission, but afterwards it got me to
thinking. How lucky are we as men to be able to find “The One” when they come
along?
Contrary to popular belief and stereotypes, men want to stop being single
and settle down, but we’ll only do it for that someone who is worth settling
down for. As I stood in the middle of a piano bar in downtown Chicago witnessing the proposal, it was clear
this man found “His One” in that woman. Only one woman is worth settling down
for, even if you've settled down before. Watching my friends since they became
a couple arrive to this moment in their lives would make some people greener
than the Chicago River, but not me. I
celebrate them both as Love's #1 Fan and especially as their friend, because
they give hope to someone like me who has settled down before too.
So, what do men live for? We all live for that someone worth
chasing, that someone worth loving, and that someone worth fighting for.
Ladies, if that something in YOU can spark that something in US which promotes our
wanting to change, your eyes may not be Irish but they can smile too…
Made me smile! Congrats to your friends!
