119

Just one more month, and my wife and I depart to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. It doesn't feel like 10 years at all. I make monthly celebration here, but still, I can't fathom the expanse of 10 years as a durable, tangible thing. It just happened. We have been married for nearly 10 years, and there is no sense of tired muscles or emotional weariness from that long of a stretch. Life together just is. It helps when you love one another. It helps to come home every day to a place you want to be at. There's no drama to mark the days and years by. Time becomes fluid when you enter a better, loving place, and although we will celebrate 10 years together as man and wife next month, it'll likely feel like any other day together.

And there, right there....I'm so very lucky.
