On this journey, called life...I spent a lot of time looking for love...
...often, in the wrong places,and from the wrong kinds of people.
I thought I knew what love was and I went searching for it.
When I was "in young love", I saw the world through rose colored glasses. Life is beautiful when you are in love.
I listened to songs like, I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton John, How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You by James Taylor and Open Arms by Journey.
...and thought I would always feel this way.
Until I got hurt...and got my heart broken a few times.
And then I thought...
...and listened to songs like, Love Stinks by the J. Geils Band, Love Hurts by Nazareth and Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac...
...until I found love once again.
I repeated this pattern, time and again, until I had enough. I gave up.
I laid it all down and started doing things to heal. I cried my heart out until I thought there were no more tears. I danced. I sang. I cried. I laughed. And I cried some more.
I spent time with myself. I was alone and happy. I stopped looking for someone to be with me. I figured out, what love really is. I stopped falling in love with other people, and started to love me.
Grow old with me. The best is yet to be.

and then I married him.
Every day that I get to be with him, is a gift.
I pray, we get to have many more years together.
Grow old with me. The best is yet to be.

Oh, I LOVED this. I can so relate to it all - I could have written it myself.
You're really marvelous.

This is just beautiful. And it gives a bit more insight into the person that you were...the person that you are.
I hope you have a lifetime of love together.
Does your hubby read your blog?
Awww. What a sweet, sweet post!
So true. It always happens when you're not looking. Someone told me that you both have to be ready— and it appears it took some time for you to be ready. So glad you found your one true love.
this was absolutely wonderful! I have to save this somewhere and revisit time and time again.
Thank you for making my day/week/ and then some with this amazing heart felt post.
