Speaking of time, it's been 6 months since New Year day, so we have 6 more months to go.  That means our cup is...half full!  So, let's drink UP and not get down.  Let's make the choice to live a positive life and choose excellence with every decision we make, big and small!  I'm looking forward to 25+ more years of marriage, God willing, and have kept the resolution I made 25 years ago to love and to cherish, for better or for worse, til death do we part.  Life hasn't been easy, but I'm believing that with God and the wisdom we've acquired over the years that our next 25 years will be so much better!  Instead of looking at all the bad that has happened to us over the years, I choose to look at all the good, how faithful God has been through it all and how true to His Word!  My vows to my husband, Rick, I hope to renew officially, but they are something I take seriously every day.  Rick is a wonderful husband, but like me, imperfect.  God's love is perfect and when I put Him first I have found contentment and everything I need to enjoy life to the fullest.
