I haven't blogged for a while. I've been on emotional overload, too much to share. If I had, it might have just been ramblings OR that sentimental menopausal mix that you have to be another woman in her fifties to understand. We have our own code, don't you know.
Jim and I had our 32nd Anniversary in October. Now I don't know how that happened when we just got married oh, I don't know, 10 years ago?! ANYWAY, it was a lovely day, just us.
We have lived through quite a lot since our last anniversary. We lost a grandchild, life changing. Losing Asher was not something we were prepared for, but the Lord knew and He carries us. We married off our youngest son, so we are ALONE. We stay up as late as we want, sleep in if we please and buy groceries we actually get to eat. Neat!
When we were married in 1979, one of the songs we claimed as "our song" was "Danny's Song" sung by Ann Murray, written by Kenny Loggins. It is amazing how it still "fits" us.
While our "chain of love" has grown considerably, I am so thankful we continue to share our mornings, our "tears of joy" and know that "every thing's gonna be alright". God has been so good.
Oh, the seventies.
I love this quote from one of my favorite John Wayne movies, "McClintock!". "All the gold in the US treasury and all the harp music in heaven can't equal what happens between a man and a woman with all that growing together". I'd do it all again and I want 32 more years.
