One of My Favorite Things
The world around me is not safe.
Our nation is in crisis.
Our business is in crisis, though not one of my making.
My family is in crisis. Not my immediate family, my natal family. Still not of my making.
And yet.
Tonight I was thinking about my favorite things.
One of my favorite things is my marriage.
One day a priest said words that made Joe and I one. One.
One.
But.
We were so young. We didn't know anything about being ONE. We just had the hots for each other. And we wanted a house and babies and family and the future.
Nineteen years later, we're learning - LEARNING - about becoming ONE.
We are in a good, safe, happy place.
And I am so glad we both choose to be here EVERYDAY.
