Together

Tonight I was trying to declutter my bedroom and I came across some things from the past. Pictures of when JR and I were about to be married, cards from each other, our marriage license, then it was pictures of the kids when they were very small.

As I sat there, looking at the boxes and envelopes full of pictures and such, I was struck with the reality of the life we have built together.

Together.

I guess I get so caught up in the daily grind, in the annoyances, hurt feelings, misunderstandings that I don't take the time to remember all the good, to see all that he and I have been through, side by side.

It was good for my heart.

Called: Reflections! How wonderful, that human quality which allows us to backtrack our minds, and renew reality
which is our TRUTH.Tyra, you have found it, at least for today.

I love it when I can look through old memories and come away with feelings instead of regrets.
Enjoy your weekend.

I am a softy for reflections on my life and the pieces of things I save in a little dusty box, hidden under my bed. It is wonderful for my soul.
