This past week Jim and I celebrated our 40th anniversary. I think we were both surprised at the calmness surrounding such a "big" number. We spent the day hiking then pulled into a camp site to grill steaks and potatoes and open a bottle of champagne. Later we shared a piece of chocolate mouse cake accompanied by a second bottle of champagne and talked about our life together.
The years and effort that go into a relationship of this length are more than we can comprehend standing at this end. We both agree that we love each other more now than we even knew was possible back then. And we understand now that we will love each other more tomorrow, more next week, more next month and next year.
We realize now that as we create memories together, as we cultivate this relationship with time spent together, we grow our love for each other. And growing love is just another way of counting all the ways we love. And counting the ways we love just gets better and better!
Life Is Good Here!
