As I lie here beside you, listening to every breathe you take, I cannot help but be so grateful for every day we have been together. After forty-one years of marriage, raising a child, enjoying two beautiful granddaughters, our lives have melded into one.
This wonderful blessing of sharing your life with someone who is always there for you, can be difficult. After all, we came together as two separate personalities, trying to adjust, and at times it can be trying.
Learning to compromise, and keeping still at times, we learn to read the other person. Bringing out the best in each other is a lifetime commitment. All the little things you do, show me your true dedication and love.
I love, admire, cherish, and thank you for all that you have done and all that you do. You are my soul mate and I cannot wait to spend the next forty-one years with you.
Your loving wife, partner, and other half,
Sherry

"Conservative" "My Most Distasteful Word"
Although this article is not a part of my former essays, I could not stop myself from voicing my opinions about this particular word.
All week long, the word "Conservative" has been used frequently in my presence. What does this word mean to me? I recognize it as meaning extremely "limited." One who is of limited thinking, closed-minded. Being very liberal in my thinking, I believe that "thinking out of the box," can solve problems, create solutions, and help mankind.
Where would we be if there was no one to "think out of the box" and come up with new inventions, new technology, drugs, etc.?
Why close ourselves off to any possibilities of aspiring to all that is aimed to better ourselves, should not be denied.
One person's opinion.

"Change=Evolving=Growth"
Think of all the possibilities, when you open your heart and mind to life.
It never ceases to amaze me why so many people prefer to keep the status quo and never want to make any changes in their lives. I would imagine that they feel safe in their comfort zone and that change scares them.
My thinking is that without change, we cannot grow and we remain complacent. Our experiences throughout our lives is what makes us stronger and, after all, isn't variety the spice of life?
Just think how boring life would be to never experience opening up to new challenges. How can one remain so stagnant and be so afraid to try new things?
Looking at issues from both sides allows you to be open and make better choices. Everyone has opinions and it is okay to disagree. By opening your mind to possibilities, you give yourself the freedom to expand your horizons and become more knowledgeable.
