Mr: I’ve had these thoughts on death. If I ever blogged, it would be a post. I think death is necessary because “….” What do you think, honey?

Mrs: Nod. Hmmm.

Mr: So can I guest blog on your site?

Mrs: Without missing a beat. Nope.

Mr: What did you say?

Mrs: Nope. (Writing’s not exactly his forté, as good as he is at everything else.)

Mr: Well, with the WordPress password you’ll be giving me, when you die I’m going to put up all sorts of poorly written posts with bad grammar.

*PROGRAM UPDATE*
So no one’s getting my password. I’d rather die and leave A Holistic Journey a sealed vault of aspiration than let anyone spill a careless word in it. If you don’t hear from me for three months, know that I’ve been dining with CS Lewis. I’ll be looking over your shoulder as you blog. Keep those standards up or I’ll get mad and rattle your window.

  1. Hah! This is so different from us. Well, Don does write posts occasionally, strictly edited by me 🙂
    Anyway we got to thinking what would happen to my blog if I died, so he has the password. We also have written “The Last Post” which he can edit if he’s still alive. If we go together our executors have the password to deliver the last post. It all makes me smile. All nicely tied up with a bow. 🙂

    1. Oh my, Alison!! Yes, bow and everything. I’m smiling at how we’d have no choice but to let them edit if we’re gone…

  2. Hahaha. I could not stop laughing! Even as I write this comment, chuckles gradually follow after the initial burst. I especially love this statement, “I’d rather die and leave A Holistic Journey a sealed vault of aspiration than let anyone spill a careless word in it,” I have to admit, your husband got you good. Are you really that strict about good grammar? Sadly when i chat with my friends, I am still welcomed with misuse of the word, “you’re”.

    At least I do not have anyone writing stuff like that in a guest post!

    1. You know how firm I am on the grammar – although I do sacrifice it every blue moon for style and the music of the word. =)

  3. The music of the word! Love that! 🙂 You are so cool 😎

    1. I almost said now that you know, you don’t have to be afraid. But that’s not quite true…

      1. Bring it on, I love suspense. lol

      2. You do live on the edge. lol

      3. Living on the edge keeps me sharp
