Twenty One Years and An Undecided Future

A Slow drift in warm, slimy, stagnate waters that is what we have become. He comes in the door and doesn't speak daily; He never asks me how I am. His only response is no.... Just a touch in all the right time and places would mean so much. The seven year itch has a hold on me accompanied by severe sadness that no pill can hide. Losing long time neighbors often has my clock ticking noticably by me. Sickness and aging has a deep sadness gripping my heart. I know to hold on to hope and make the day a blessing. Overwhelming pain takes my happy places. Tomorrow......there is hope!

I tend to write feeling I have instead of fussing at my hubby.....when I know alot of time it is just my own silliness causing the problem. We have been better since then. no worries.

Read you after a longtime with a note of hope, Doris, remember we have one life to live and this is not a dress rehearsal, as I always say.

writing new chapters in life is exciting yet difficult Doris.. another stepping stone and hurdle my friend.. your lines emit the down part of luv and marriage however.. for every negative there is a positive.. we just have to find it luv.. not easy but oh so challenging yes?
