4380 Days or 12 Years

Yup, we did it.
Today is Michael’s and my 12th anniversary from the day we met.
Never in our wildest dreams did we dream we would be together this long.
Together this long and still like each other immensely, wow, that is truly a miracles.

Here’s a little of the story for those of you new to my journal: Cast of Characters.

This entry tells the tale of the meeting of Michael and Mz. Em: I Said I Do.

Is It Really Saturday? This entry takes me into our tenth year together.

At 11 years this is where we are: Eleven Years Ago Today.

And, here we are today. It’s strange that Michael is at work and I’m here reflecting on our years together. It’s okay, sometimes reflection is good to do by yourself.

I don’t regret one single day of those 4380 days. Some of them weren’t very much fun as we worked our way through the growth spells. Grow we did, more in love with one another as we walked together through each character building event in our life. Lots of laughter, smiles, tears but no fights; disagreements did arise but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t work through.

Would I do it all again, you betcha!

I’ve had some fun tonight as Michael gifted me with a glass fountain pen – kind of like a calligraphy pen but glass. It’s going to take some getting used to. I have some blobs of ink but that is just character building on the page.

Ah, I love my guy.

As I type this entry, my other guy, my fur child Spike, who has more years with me than Michael, is sitting in my lap. His butt is hanging over my right arm and his left paw on my left wrist. Oops, now the right paw is on my left wrist. Me thinks, he’s telling me to finish up so he can have my whole lap.

Let’s Have an Auction – Day Four

Saturday’s paper had a story in it about a wife auctioning a day spent with her 96-year-old husband. The opening bid was $19.99 and is now up to $222.50. To check it out go here:

The bid is still holding at $222.50 with one day and some hours to go. The bid is higher than I thought it might get but I’m sure he’s worth every penny.

Do you...

1. Feel safe in your community? Why? In my immediate community, yes but I wonder. Just last night there was an item on the news about three young men, under the age of 20, in the city where I work, roughed up a senior citizen as he exited a burger joint. The man ends up with bruises and a broken ankle. Then later these three highjack a car that is parked in front of a school as the mother goes to pick up her children. And one wonders why I keep my car locked all the time. I can remember when that wasn’t even a consideration.

2. Tend to be a follower or a leader? Depends on what it is; I’ve done both.

3. Like where you are in your life? Why? I’m okay with my life. I would like a better handle on the depression and anxiety and yet, I’m holding steady.

4. Confront problems or try to ignore them? I confront them and not let them fester and end up being worse than they really are.

5. Stand up for your beliefs or keep it all to your self? Again, it all depends; I pick my battles and some things are mine and don’t need to be brought out in the open.

Okay dokay. Another day has come to an end. The dishes are washing, I’ve had my dinner and Spike is becoming very heavy on my arm. I hope ya all have a grand evening.
