Anniversaries

Good morning! Sunday blog! Let’s have some more family time stories! Anniversaries are special indeed! Every year that passes and you learn the meaning of true love, commitment, is a gift! To make it all the way to 50, speaks volumes! Yesterday was such a day! My cousin and his wife will be 50 years in July! A surprise party was given to them yesterday from their children! I am blessed enough to have been raised with all of my cousins close by, with countless reasons to celebrate together! I don’t think a lot of people can say that! The older I get , the more my family means to me! We had some out of state cousins yesterday, priceless! The line of long marriages in our family is long, most of them marrying very young! We have a nephew getting married in Greece today, bride to be, her dream wedding! Beautiful memories they are making! But, again I will caution you! Real happiness does not come from another person! Our choices need to be deliberate! If I got up everyday and said to myself, I cannot face another day of Parkinson’s, watching my husband struggle! I would be living a defeated life! Is that going to make Parkinson’s go away, no! I have learned to see and face life, with all of its struggles! God has pulled back the curtain, I see life so differently! A renewed mind and heart! Denny and I are at Anniversary 42! I pray that we might see a Golden Anniversary! At this time in our life, we are Golden to each other! So, my challenge to all of you, set aside all humor and differences, really look at each other, if you are fortunate to still have each other! Don’t wait until tomorrow, it might not come! Tell your partner, significant other! You know what I mean! Again, I am no expert! But, Denny and I, both know the sting of making wrong choices in our marriage! We are together by the grace of God! The grass is not greener on the other side! I promise you, if you fertilize regularly, you will have the greenest grass ever! That’s a solid Golden promise! God bless all of you and your special one! Enjoy the rest of this gorgeous weekend! I wrote this poem this morning in honor of them, 1969- 2019, WOW! and Amen!❤️🤗🤗❤️Love!❤️
