Anniversary
Six years ago tomorrow, Hub Man and I were doing this:
[album 65561 ringer.jpg2.JPG]
It has been a good 6 years, but so many things have happened! Changes everywhere...
There have been marriages, divorces, deaths, babies born, youngest sons moved out on their own, and our blended family is scattered from north to south. My husband jumps out of airplanes, and I am holding menopausal mayhem at bay.
When one looks at the big picture, sometimes it's overwhelming how many things come and go in our lives. It creates in me the desire to re-group, take stock, have attitude adjustments, make new creative productivity commitments, and pull closer to those I love. I have the impulse to try to get more control of my life, but at the same time, life experience itself is reminding me that control is an illusion. And that even now, the universe is turning the ball in its hand, hiding it in the glove, positioning its fingers just so, preparing to throw a curve ball my way. And me, I've just taken the first steps in getting used to the fast balls. Kind of...
They should teach us, first thing in school, on the very first day. It should be written large atop the blackboard.... Nothing Stays The Same (Except for Gravity!)
I don't know if it would help or not. I probably would not have believed it anyway.
In any case. We only get one day at a time. So today, we are going to go up to a little town near here that has a lot of small shops and just browse around. I'm taking a small pittance from my allowance along, in case I find the perfect journal, or the perfect pen, or some such thing to commemorate the day.
To Hub man, I have this to say: If I had it to do over again, I would do it over again!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Hub Man for tomorrow. I hope you have many more come and lots of happiness in the future.
The fact that nothing stays the same is probably the most valuable lesson I have learnt over the last few years. When you look back over your life it is absolutely staggering how things can change rapidly.
Like you say it really is only worth taking each day at a time.

happy anniversary beautiful entry probably all this zen cooking has to do at least in part with your husband ha ha I dont like to analyse a journalist who am I to say what is going on in someones head I would rather say well this is the thought that has come to my mind
we might get a curved ball from the universe but I think a crucial part of self confidence is knowing that whatever ball comes you will find beauty in the moment and appreciate what you have and love will grow from this
everyday should be shabbat shalom
have a gorgeous day mon amie
love and light ichandra

Congratulations! I was going to say Mazel tov, but my research indicates that means "good luck" and it looks like you and Hub Man already have that in spades. :)

What size hook are you using with the Amore? I used it for my mother's shawl, and I believe I used a K hook. I wouldn't go too much smaller than that. You can, of course, but that might be why you are having a hard time with it. Possibly. New yarns are always tough to get used to, but don't give up. You are going to love how the finished item feels.

Congratulations and MAZEL TOV!
From what I've observed, you both have done well in this marriage. I wish you 6 times 6 (at least) more years together.
Love...

Exactly how does one hold menopausal mayhem at bay? Whatever your doctor has you on, I want some.
