Embrace
          uncertainty,
              some of
              the most
              beautiful
       chapters  in our
  lives won't have a title
           until much
    later in our time here
          on this earth .

     Today I want to think
       about all that you
are instead of all that you
                are not.

      Your ability to listen
to  and  take  action  based  on
          your inner voice -
  regardless of how you feel,
          other influences
        or temptations you face -
               is the key to
               self  mastery.

                       The
               impossible
                   is often
                      only
                the untried.

I am your rock,

You are my inspiration,

I am your balance,

You are my support,

I am your wild,

You are my calm,

I am your anchor,

You are my wings.

You're   my favorite

place  to  go  when

my   mind  searches

       for   peace.

I   have   seen   the

best    of  you   and

the   worst   of  you

and  I  choose  both.

The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves.

Do not
       waste  your  precious
        time giving one
              single ****
                   about
            what anyone
                    else
             thinks of you.

                 We only
          get to be in our
        bodies for a limited
                   time.

                    Why
                     not
             celebrate the
                 journey
               instead of
                  merely
                 riding  it
                      out
                   until it's
                     over?

              Speak the truth
         you  are  carrying  in
                 your heart
         like a hidden treasure.
                 There is no
       time for anything else.

You walked
        through the doors,
              your head
     tilted  down, perhaps
            scared to look
     at  my  face  for fear  of  
                  what you
        might  see  after  such
            a long 54 years of
                 being apart.

           A length of time
    that would bring anyone
                   to tears.

                 I looked at
          you trembling as you
              stood  before  me
                   and I said,
           "do you know why
   after all this time I am still here?"

            "Because when
         love  is  true,  it  waits."
                   "You are
            the  moon  of  my  life.
               guide me home."

                    And when
              we got there we
        slipped  into  an  intimacy
                       from
                   which we
                       never
                   recovered.

Souls tend
          to  go  back  to
              who feels
        like home. Time
     tells  us  if  it  is  love.

               My heart
         is  so  full  of you
                   I can
             hardly call it
               my own.

         After all this time?  

                           Always.

               With her I
        can  breath  again.
               Not that I
          couldn't  before.

                     But it's
             different now,
                     she's
                  different.

There are too
         many  mediocre  things
            in life to deal with.

                        Love
              shouldn't be one
                      of them.
             Anything less than
        extraordinary is a waste
                            of
                       my time.

               She's annoying,
        she's hilarious, she makes
            me yell, she drives
                     me crazy,
          she's out of her mind,
                   she's magic,
            but she's everything
                        I want.

                 I'm pretty sure
         she deserves a spanking.
                  She loves the
            anticipation of what
        I  am going  to  do  to her.

                       She is all
                  I need to set my
       dirtiest fantasies in motion
                            and
                she's extraordinary.
                            and
                        I love her.
