It's the Life in your Years

This past week I came across this phrase from Abraham Lincoln " And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

I found this phrase to be very appropriate for our thirty years together. We began as two people that were not looking for anything or anyone yet we crossed each other paths and joined hands to take a walk in life's journey that is now thirty years in the making.

The life that we have shared has allowed each of us to progress to personal levels of joy and contentment which were missing before we met. Our coming together allowed us to shed personal baggage from our past that had no place in our future.

Our Love produced a daughter that two parents could not be more proud of for she shows the best of the two of us.

As a team we have managed to create a home that neither of us could have ever imagined when we were children. We have worked and saved to provide levels of security that we at times were not attainable.

We have managed to share our good fortunes with family and friends so that we have learned not to take anything for granted.

I can go on and on but we will come back to the simple fact that the life we have shared this past this thirty years has been amazing.

Happy Anniversary, the next thirty may be for just us if we are allowed.
