Good-bye and good riddance

Chapter 2013 Page 37 of 365

You are a chapter I’d rather skip, but I now realize your betrayal is essential to the development of my story.

You never were a headliner or main character, as I believed your role to be greater than it was intended initially, but now that your gone…I can’t say I even care.

Good-bye and Good riddance

This kiss

This kiss is from a moment, not a moment of chance, but a moment of choice. This kiss is shared by two, united in love, never questioning and always trusting. This kiss is about strength, compromise and a willingness to expand horizons. This kiss is a representation of who we are and how we will get there together…hand in hand.

This kiss was perfect, because it was shared with you.

Luckily…I Married My Best Friend

I may question many things in this life; what I want to be when I grow up, what career am I really suppose to focus on, where should my next vacation be or what should I make for dinner?

However, the one constant, reliable, and thing I know without a doubt, is that “Luckily, I married my best friend.”

Understand that we were not bff’s when we married, nope we grew into those roles over time. See he knows me almost and sometimes better than I know myself. He loves me with his whole-heart, he holds nothing back. He savors our time together as he knows that our days are numbered. He makes me laugh often and most times until I’m in tears. He is patient, loving, kind and understanding; but again he is my best friend, my life partner and my protector.

What man agrees to remarry you every year for the next twelve years…luckily, I’m marrying and remarrying my best friend and it is he who assures me daily that my happiness is his happiness and our happiness is all that matters in our world.

…where my heart lies

I love watching, listening and just being beside my spouse while he sleeps.

Probably, within a year or so after we married we discovered just how important functioning as a team; one unit would be. Early in our marriage we begin working opposite schedules and that scheduled separation lasted over seven of our thirteen years. Of course, this separation taught us to truly value our time together awake and or asleep.

That in no way should cause one to believe that we crowd one another, but totally the opposite…we enjoy spending time together, but also acknowledge and respect that we need time apart (however unlike many wives, I prefer to travel with my spouse) and most times, I prefer his company over anyone else.

I often snap photos of him asleep, because watching him and being near him gives me security and also because in his slumber he reminds me of the innocence and peace you see only in small children…and he is totally lovable!

Self Portrait

Welcome to “The Lovers Month” or as some like to call it…February.

This month my Chapter 2013 Blog Post Pages will focus on love, partnership, connecting, relationship, renewing, laughter, fun time, and sweet kisses…
I will be participating in the #sdms (still dating my spouse) #sdmsphoto photo challenge and my blog post will consist of the days photo and a written commentary on the
relationship aspect I have with my best friend who is also my spouse.

FEBRUARY 1, 2013 Self Portrait

Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t always about being the face out front. I love the idea of giving just enough to leave them thirsting for more.
