A Monumental Day

Today is a day worthy of note.  It is mine and D's 20th anniversary.  It's sad that now days,  20 years is considered a long time to be married.

There are those in our lives who never thought we would make it,  and in those first years,  sometimes it was touch and go.  Two people coming from two totally different backgrounds,  yet we made it work.  We made it work because we were determined to make it work,  and because we do love each other.

In today's world,  so many people seem to forget that marriage should be forever.  They reach a point where they think the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence and off they go,  or they're just tired of being married and are looking for something newer,  more exciting.  I'm not advocating staying in a relationship that involves some type of abuse,  but just because he leaves socks on the floor and she is a lousy cook, is no reason to be off on a new adventure.

So I raise my cup of coffee to D,  thanks for 20 great years,  and here's to 20 more!

Happy Anniversary..okay, I'm a day late...sorry Sis...I'm like you when it comes to marriage commitments today. It's way to easy to end something. "Irreconcillable Differences" seems to be the best reason anymore. Hat's off to both of you! Hope you had a Zippy de do da day!!..Love ya's, Zips
