Put on a Happy Face 2019

2019 Today - Make It Count 

FOREVER
For every today, we’ll live it together.
Let's take today as it comes,
seeking the wisdom the universe offers us this day,
taking the best of what comes our way,
holding each other up in the hard times,
sharing the joy and laughter.
Together, let's savor each moment we encounter on today’s path.
For every tomorrow, we’ll dream it together.
Let’s dream of wonderful things,
of good health and laughter shared,
of moments of peace and contentment,
of sunsets and cool breezes on a summer’s night,
of holding each other close by the glow of a winter’s fire.
Together, let’s dream a life lived well together, hand in hand along the path ahead.
For every yesterday, we’ll cherish it together.
Let's always remember above all else the love that binds us;
love that brings forth our best selves,
love that lights the path in the darkness,
love that makes all that is good, better.
Together, let’s hold tight to the memories of days spent together walking along the path called life.
I thank God for every moment with you - past, present and future.
love you. Nance

Heartstrings

Ours is a love of new beginnings and the reunion of souls.

Wounded and weary, we found, in each other, a sanctuary for healing.  

Trust built on foundation of openness and constancy.

Heartstrings entwined, we discovered the steadfastness of love.

Ours is a tempered love, forged in the fires of illness and loss and difficulty.

Bonds made stronger lifting each other up when the world weighed heavily.

Hope sustained; nourished by love enduring.

Heartstrings entwined, we know the true depths of compassion.

Ours is a love made rich by our uniqueness.

Each whole, with different talents, idiosyncrasies, and outlooks.

Gifts of self, shared and received with open hearts.

Heartstrings entwined, we find balance in our union.

Ours is love eternal, the unbroken circle.

Souls united in love walking the path of life.

Contentment found in love abiding and everlasting.

Heartstrings entwined, we make forever together.

Written for our wedding vows, 2014

Blog reboot - it’s been ages...nearly 9 years since my last post.  Confessions of an absent blogger.  So today I begin again with a bit of catch up of musings and art, some of which I’ve posted on on FB over the years, some which has just accumulated here and there..
