I'm just trying to be cool.

Cool
I’m just trying to be cool
It’s all because of you

This is the photo for the cover of our debut cd.  Just kidding.  Sadly, I am not a singer.  Though, by looking at this photo one may think we have a "husband and wife" duet going on.  We don't.  Unfortunately, the husband and I are not musically inclined.  Sure, I was in chorus once upon a time.  Sure, the husband was in chorus as well.  However, nowadays we limit our performances to the shower and our cars.  I wouldn't have minded one bit had I been a superstar entertainer like Britney Spears (minus the breakdown, ain't nobody got time fo' dat).  

A good time.  That is all I yearn for.  I've never considered myself lucky (seriously, it is almost comical).  Then, today I was walking around Target, frappuccino in hand, and it dawned on me.  Goodness, how did it take me this long to realize?  I am one of the luckiest women in all of the galaxy.  I married the one person who makes all my times, good times.  And, that is no easy feat, because I am one difficult bunny.

I am the happiest in his presence.  Not all days are perfect, yet, I choose to spend even the toughest of times with you.  So, here is the thing.  If you are yet to meet that individual who is happiness personified, do not discourage.  To some, being alone is happiness, and that is quite alright as well.  Whatever route you decide to take, be sure you are having a good time.  Because there are no substitutes for a life well lived.

Amidst the chaos that is life, sometimes we forget to acknowledge those individuals whose very existence is critical to our being.  From the moment we met, I knew I had a friend for all my days.  Shower your cherished ones with love.  There will never be a moment when a spoken "I love you" is enough.  

So, if you feel it, say it, share it, shout it to the world.
