Happy Valentine's Day!
There may be one or a hundred and one loves in your life. But this day, Valentine's Day, should be dedicated to that special someone who can make your heart sing!
I'm a person who loves easily. By that I mean, caring for and about people seems to come naturally for me.
And those I love, I love deeply.
I am blessed with two wonderful parents, four very special sisters and their husbands and children, two terrific children of my own, and one super, incredibly cute granddaughter…all of whom I love dearly!
But the person who can make my heart sing with the greatest passion is my Yankee sweetheart!
Yet, you've most likely realized, from my previous posts, that he and I are two distinctly different personalities, with unique and sometimes ofttimes opposing takes on life.
In many ways, we are the clichéd "odd couple."

No…not that odd couple.
We actually more closely resemble the couples portrayed in these magazine ads.

Over the years, the Yankee has summed up who we are as a couple with some very familiar metaphors, and I'll just let you guess whose who in these images. ; )

OK, so you get the idea.
In essence, what I'm attempting to communicate to you is how different the Yankee and I are. Yet, even with all our differences, it works.
Or should I say we work at it?!

Any relationship takes effort, but a relationship such as ours takes even greater effort...
and commitment.
That's what we have...a lifetime commitment.

Though there are at times points of disagreement between us, there is one thing the Yankee and I totally agree upon.
There is no one either of us would want to share our lives with more than one another!
Our love truly is a many-splendored thing!

I guess the saying is true that opposites do attract. My hubby and I are opposites as well. It was nice of you to mention in your post all the other people in your family whom are special in your life as well. Thanks for sharing, I'm glad I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your photographic portrayal of your differences and your descriptions. Opposites or not it still takes committment ... for each other and all the loved ones that surround us. How true how true! Thanks for hosting & posting! Jenn
ReplyDeleteI hope my last comment came through ... but just in case I have enjoyed the 14 Days of Love!
