Bummersville, USA?

Well, welcome to Bummersville, USA. The weather around here has been perfectly gloomy for the past week. Along with this, I’ve been dealing with The Monthly Grief and hence feeling in a groggy fog for a few days now (although it’s better than feeling in a foggy grog!)… Daddy is nursing a minor injury from running. The house is in need of a major cleaning before our out-of-town guest arrives, who is presumably only coming here in order to squelch our sexual antics. *sigh* But wait…

One would think this combination of malevolent factors would spell doom for our marital bliss, but alas, no! We are indubitably more in love than ever! How maddening! Try as we may, we simply cannot manage to stop loving one another… ;) We wake up smiling, we touch, kiss, hug, and caress each other throughout the day, the “I love yous” are plentiful and sincere, and we are connecting and communicating like a team. My submission is as absolute as his dominance. Each day is better than the last and each challenge is a new way for us to work together and come up with solid solutions. Ain’t life grand??

So, I know that I’m losing some of you with this saccharine-sweet stuff, but my point is a simple one: There isn’t only one person out there for each of us and many of us could find happiness with a host of different folks. But when you find one of the special people who loves you unconditionally, completes your sentences, tells the bad joke before you get a chance to, wakes you up with kisses, touches you in the most perfect, tingly way, and who understands both your beautiful and your ugly sides, you need to hold on to them and love them with everything you’ve got.

You owe to them.

You owe it to yourself.
