Today Lynn and I have been married for 46 years! Can you imagine that? It has been a lot of years and a lot of ups and downs, happiness and sadness, good times and bad times. No one tells you when you get married that it is not always going to be good. I can say that now in our later years it does seem to be all good. We have had to deal with some health issues and some financial issues but our love has grown. We have learned that when it comes right down to it.....it is just each other that we can really count on. Friendships have come and gone. Things we once thought were most important are not. Our faith which has taken it's own ups and downs is now where it should be....foremost in our lives. It is now easier to look at the things in life that were once overlooked. The beauty of nature, the goodness of people, the happiness in little things that seemed so unimportant in the past. We are both looking forward now and not backward. Life is short......something we never thought about before and we plan on enjoying every bit of it till the end of it is here and the beginning of it is "there"!

Happy Anniversary to us

You have a way with putting things into words Lois. So beautiful the way you talk about your life and the way I feel about ours too, but would not be able to put it into words. Happy Anniversary and many more to come. Looking forward to wishing you Happy 50th. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Lois and Lynn! I was wondering this am how many years it was, WOW 46 is a long time together. How great that you both have learned so much together and now value so many of the really great things life has to offer!! Have a great day with your best friend!!

Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDelete46 years is just wonderful and I hope you have many more to come.
Hugs and good wishes.
More congratulations! And, "AMEN" to your beautiful blog! Well said! I too had been wondering how many years—but I now have 1963 as the year you were married in my "file", so I'll be able to check it out each year— as long as I remember to check! lol Huge hugs to both of you—and it'll take both to follow through!
ReplyDeleteI was 2 when you were married. (smug grin)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!!!! BTW, just because I'll forget if I don't mention it now...you get 10% off on your next AVON order. :]
