Happy Anniversary!

47 years ago today, I got married.  September 5, 1971.  It was the only free time my fiance had between his many activities including law school.

That initially told me a lot.  Limited time to get married?  What about time to live a marriage? Either way, I celebrate this day.  I celebrate for all the love and care in my heart that lasted 30 years, 28 of them married ones.  I celebrate for the precious lives of my children.  And maybe most importantly, I celebrate me.

This isn't an ego celebration.  I am just passing through. I celebrate the me that was conceived from two good people.  Their marriage completed as well - after 25 years.  I celebrate the honor, integrity and love that is a part of a healthy marriage.  And I celebrate a goal of doing no harm.

Friends are in town.  They are on their way to Vermont.  Got a text last evening that they would like to meet.  I knew they would be up here soon.  So this is dandy.

I kind of think my friends will return to New England - from whence both were born.  They love skiing and ski often.  They've been married a long time, too.  A very healthy marriage indeed.

Way too much going on next week so I will just enjoy the moment.
