It's A New Day: A Vintage Love Story

So what do we talk about when so many in the Heartland of the United States has just been through one of the most horrific days of their lives? 

Yesterday I recounted the story of the deadly tornado that swept through parts of the Heartland on Sunday.  And I told you just a few little stories of things that had happened in a few homes.  And that blog is just to the left of this one at the top of the archives if you missed it yesterday.

But today is a new day and as bad as it is for some...or many...we do have to move on.  If I wasn't still dealing with the after math of this broken leg...I'd like to be right in the middle of helping in some way myself.  But this one is going to find me on the side lines watching it all...on the news.

There are so SO many with broken hearts this morning and just absolutely over whelmed with what has happened in each of their own lives. 

I had a blog plan for this week, which is unusual for me.  I normally just sit down and write without giving much thought to what I'm going to write about.  Just whatever flows through my mind about 5 or 6am...usually just flows right on through my arms and into my finger tips and onto this keyboard and on to you.  Sometimes that's GOOD....and sometimes that's very controversial  :-)  But it's me!
But I get so many requests to write about this or that and I always say "We'll do that THIS WEEK!" And then my day gets hectic and I forget to write the request down and next thing you know...I've forgotten to write about something that one of you have request...So the last few days I've been writing those request down...and I had a list  :-)  But then the tornado and I wanted to talk about that ...

But this morning I was trying to think of something 'suitable' but uplifting for these trying times for so many and my mind was leaning towards writing about love and relationships...because after all...what is more life changing and comforting than love...and then I was scrolling facebook and I saw it.  A morning post by Corbin Bernsen...actor/movie star.  He doesn't have a 'blog' so to speak...but many mornings he'll just post like I do only his is on his facebook page...and he'll just start talking to us...just off the top of his head and just 'tell a story'...just his opinion of something that's on the news or on his mind at the time.

Today is Corbin and his wife's 25th anniversary and he was talking about their special connection and it just reminded me of the geezer and me.   And I thought I'd like to share HIS post with YOU today.
So here we go................................

Corbin Bernsen:
Short and sweet... but wanted to shout out to the world today - I love my wife! It's our 25th anniversary today! We are secluded away from the world for the occasion, in our cocoon of love. I have so many things to be thankful for, so many blessings, but at the top of the list is that I've known love in this life. True love. Love that evolves, love that overcomes differences, love the endures. I am so incredibly thankful for that. Amanda is more than my soulmate, she is my world, my universe... my everything. She is both the thorn of the rose and the flower as well as the sweet fragrance that seduces.

It should also be noted, perhaps as a lesson to all... she doesn't agree with everything I do and I am. She doesn't share all my views. She has her own and often very different opinion of things - even much of what we as a community discuss here on occasion... but she doesn't judge me for who I am, she doesn't deny me my right and my opinion. To be honest, she doesn't really even participate in this forum, our forum, that relationship with you and I. She doesn't understand the need or love to share the way I do with you.

So she sits patiently each day, as she is now, simply waiting for me to finish, take my shower and join her for the day. But she has produced and raised four incredible sons, cooks some of the finest food I've ever eaten, has better style than anyone I know, and laughs with me... always laughs. We are connected in that way, our strange view of the world, sometimes absurd - as events of the day often dictate. She is my guide, my partner, my inspiration, and also the one who challenges me to be the very best I can be. For twenty five years... and counting. I am so very blessed. I love you Amanda...

... Sorry you don't Facebook my love, so I suppose I'll put all this in a card!

Corbin

Geeeeeeeeeeeeee 25 years....they're just newly weds....no wonder their relationship is so good  :-)
We've been together almost 50 years and I can tell you for a fact...this old geezer is my ROCK!  He pampered me the whole 12 weeks I was flat on my back...waiting on me hand and foot...constantly fluffing my pillows and straightening my blanket....just like we were 19 years old and newly weds again.  I sure hope you all have a love like that...It's so easy to have it when you're young and newly in love...but a love that lasts through the ages...it's just priceless!

Peace and love and thanks so much for stopping by.  I love you all gobs and gobs!  Lord willin' and the creek don't rise...we'll meet back here tomorrow!
