so how lucky
am i that this one has been with me for 30 years
~
to say he's my world isn't saying enough. to love him more than i do is impossible.
to celebrate him just today isn't right. i try to do that all year long.
now granted
some days aren't perfect. i mean really. nobody can be together as long as we have and say that marriage isn't a challenge. because it is. or at least it can be sometimes.
and
what's wrong with that. a hurdle to jump every now and then keeps us on our toes.
and
honestly. i can't imagine my life any other way.
sometimes when i can't find hearts. i draw them. or make them.
and
most days i have a helper
who leaves tiny paw prints behind
to make sure i don't ever forget her
do you look for hearts
everywhere
too
~
oh i hope you do
~
happy valentine's day to all of my fellow bloggers
who inspire me everyday
with
laughter and wisdom
passion and sincerity
and
most of all
a desire
to continue doing what i LOVE to do

Happy Valentines Day to you too, beautiful post.

ReplyDeletehappy day of love ...all year!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 30 years, and thanks for sharing this beautiful post. Marriage, as you point out, is not always smooth sailing but as you suggest, its the rougher seas that give us the strength and resolve to keep navigating through to calming waters.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Beautiful. And just a lovely, lovely, beautiful couple... :)

ReplyDeleteso much love in this post : )
ReplyDeleteare those sea sponges in that last photo?
You too are such a goodlooking couple and what a sweet post. I really do look for hearts everywhere. Once, I actually captured a heart cloud with my camera. That was exciting. Yes, I agree that you should celebrate your love everyday not just on Valentine's day. Every day is a blessing and I am blessed in my life and by your inspiration as well. Happy V day.
ReplyDeleteAwww.... Happy Heart Day to you too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Happy Valentine's to you too Beth!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E back on ya!! that photo of the two of you is so darn beautiful...xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you too ;-)
ReplyDeleteI heart this. And you. What a sweet, lovely picture. I never used to look for hearts so much, but lately, I have started...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet valentine to that handsome husband of yours! Happy Valentine's Day to you Beth! May you continue to find hearts everywhere you go:)
ReplyDeleteI am learning to look for hearts and you do inspire me. Thank you so much! Happy Valentine's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog post. But it also made me sad. I always felt that way - always! Until a certain special needs child came into our life and turned it upside down. I hope to get back there someday soon. On the other hand, I, too, look for hearts! I draw them, I seek them in print, I color them, I doodle them. What I haven't done is look for them in nature! That's my new quest for 2011. Thanks for the great post. Happy V day!♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd post a photo of the two of you because you two really are like the ultimate Valentine's heart!
ReplyDeleteI look for hearts everywhere, too. I think lots of people do -- I was surprised when I posted a pic of the Gyp how many people said his freckly nose was shaped like a heart!
happy valentines day back to you...one of the few people that never have anything to say bad about their other. the splitapart.
ReplyDeletethis portrait is gorgeous of you two.

ReplyDeleteWhat a special post - I wrote another poem, of course....which seemed very suited for you and your sweetheart -

ReplyDeleteI saw a heart drawn in the sand on Laguna Beach Saturday and totally thought about you!
