Day 44 - I do...Again

“When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.”
~Tom Robbins~

Today I'm grateful for:

love and it's ability to grow with just a little tending.

I Do Agains. They are a cosmic do over, a reward for good behavior, a badge of honor. Had I not I do'd in the first place my life would be lacking and the tragedy is, I'd never have known why I was so broken and empty. But I did and even when I didn't you did and we continue to I Do together every day. That is a gratitude beyond measure and beyond words.

my man, but only because of how he looks in Chocolate brown. What? I never said I wasn't shallow.

remembering my list is about gratitude and not the random extra crap I throw in it.

my friend Aubrey. She turned me on to Tom Robbins and saved the day. Love you hot stuff!

finding the perfect dress at the last possible minute. Now if I only had some help with the shoes!

23 years ago tomorrow a young, hot and buff Flyboy with a game show announcers voice asking "So, how fast can you plan a wedding?"

planning a wedding in 2 months and 4 days.

not letting the black eye stop the tears. Or the missing tooth stop the smile.

never again playing softball.

23 years of adventure.

Tom Robbins quote:

Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”

being not just willing, but longing to say "I do, Again" to my favorite outlaw.

Day 39 - Corrigendum

Typos are very important to all written form. It gives the reader something to look for so they aren't distracted by the total lack of content in your writing ~Randy K. Milholland~

Today I'm grateful for:

God's tenacity.

signs from the universe. I may not always like what they have to say, but it's always interesting hearing them, and in such creative ways too.

Valentines dinner plans with a prince in chocolate brown. I do indeed, again.

faith. I have it though I'm still lacking the ability to take the first step.

my little dog. He rocks and though he was rather scared, he conquered his fear and kept me company on the new treadmill. Which I named Herman but the way.

the new treadmill. I've got the flue, I feel like crap by my little dog needs a walk and so do I. Walking/riding is my non-chemical mood stabilizer. Herman is awesome and very unbeast like. Once I feel better, I'm gonna give this a go. We will see if my knee holds out. Since I started exercising regularly I have not had to ware my knee brace. That says something...

Poohisms: “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

my book. No one has bought a copy, Oprah has not called, it's chocked full of Corrigendum’s, but I can say, in earnest and with complete honesty "I wrote a book". That's enough for me. BUT one day, Oprah WILL call. Perhaps once I remove all the corrigendum’s...
