It's My 14th Wedding Anniversary
Well, today is one of those days where I am feeling very ambivalent. Yes, an anniversary is a signpost on the highway of life, a time for reflecting, for renewing one's love, and "taking stock." It can also be a day of would haves, could haves, and should haves. I'm not yet sure which type of day this is shaping up to be for me. After 14 years, as 1/2 of a joint venture, the romance of the moment can get lost and the day itself is looked upon as an acknowledgement of surviving the storm. The pictures of smiling faces, wedding cake, and jumping the broom seem to be so foreign to me. I ask, who is that woman? So much has changed since that day; I have changed. My outlook has changed. Perhaps, today I will take the time to look back on those pictures and celebrate the woman that was and appreciate the growth that has taken place since.
