Anniversary

When Jimmy and I got married eight years ago yesterday, he made all the customary promises, but with an addendum. "I'll do my best to make you happy," he said, "but you can rest assured that you'll never be bored."

What an understatement. Sometimes our life feels like we live in a soap opera, or on an out-of-control roller coaster, with its endless ups and down, highs and lows, joys and sorrows. There have been days when monotony and dullness sounded inviting.

Thinking back over the past eight years, the bad times have been hard, but the good times are glorious, and so far, Jimmy has never let me down.
