complementary

I like to think that I'm a well-rounded person with many talents. I'm reasonably intelligent and I do quite a few things pretty darn well. But, like anyone, there are plenty of things that I'm just no good at. Do you want some examples? Here goes:
I lack self-control, or, in other words, I'm totally impulsive. This applies to food, shopping, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I have to completely cut myself off from temptation because otherwise, I'll end up eating a whole bag of candy or drinking all the soda in the fridge in one day.
The filter most people have that sorts out the thoughts that are not appropriate to put into actual verbiage is mostly absent in my mind. I'm really good at saying totally inappropriate, insensitive, and/or private things at all times, and I usually don't even realize that it wasn't okay for me to say it.
I am not so great at following things through to completion. At any time, I'll have between three and ten projects I am "working on" in various stages of completion. It is unusual for said projects to ever be as finished as I intended them to be when I started them.
And that's it. Those are the only three weaknesses I have. Everything else in the entire world, I am really quite good at. For realz. *wink* Anyhow, the point of this post isn't for me to bag on myself (though I am quite good at that), but to talk about something for which I am grateful... today, that happens to be: the way Landon's strengths complement my own, and vice versa.
I picked those three particular weaknesses highlighted above because those are three areas in which Landon is strong. He has stellar self-control, is impeccably tactful and sensitive, and never leaves something unfinished. Like myself, Landon is a very well-rounded person with many talents and strengths, yet somehow, there is little overlap in our weaknesses. We are fantastically complementary, and I think that strengthens our relationship. I know I can rely on Landon to be strong where I am weak, and I know that I can be of assistance to him when he is facing his own limitations. We work together to fill in the gaps, and that is totally okay. In fact, it's great to know that I have that ace in the hole when ever I need it!
So today I am grateful that Landon is my complementary counterpart who strengthens me and makes me a better woman.
