Happy Anniversary
How do you measure love? It's not in candy bars, flower bouquets, or Hallmark cards--nor in Tiffany hearts, front row seats, or serenading violinists.
It's in the everyday: sharing the minutiae of what happened when and then what transpired. It's knowing that that other person not only wants to hear your words, but really listens when you talk. It's laughter. It's sharing.
It's wanting the best for the person you love, wanting that person to be the person they want to be. It's not being afraid of holding up a mirror.
For me it's everything from sharing snacks of peanuts while reading, to planning a trip, to going on a photo jaunt, to wrestling with what it means to be a member of a faith community, to talking in bed even though you spent the day together.
It's about caring deeply and being present. It's about the goodnight kiss and the kiss before you leave the house.
