When Dr. Seuss died, some “new” manuscripts were found. One of these is a book on colors titled My Many Colored Days. One of my favorite quotes each time I read it to The Boy is:
Some days are yellow.
Some are blue.
On different days
I’m different too.
Most days, I am happy (yellow), but some days are blue. Today was purple (On Purple Days I’m sad. I groan. I drag my tail. I walk alone). Things did not go smoothly. It’s not that any one item was horrible in and of itself, but the combination of “junk” certainly made a dent on my day. If you want to skip to the positive stuff, scroll down to the pictures. 
I didn’t sleep well.
I woke up late.
I missed the Metro train by a minute.
Work stunk.
I didn’t get to take lunch due to a four HOUR (yes, hour) virtual teleconference (web and phone based) where I said…absolutely nothing.
I miss The Boy and Kevin.
A friend of mine from high school died unexpectedly last week, and tomorrow is her wake. I’m not there.
Oh, and today? Today is our anniversary.
There was a time when all this stuff would get me down, but in reflecting on our five years of marriage, I must admit.
-
- The Big Day
-
- First Anniversary– at our friend’s wedding!
-
- Second Anniversary plus five months

- Just shy of our Fifth Anniversary
Five years ago…
…we said “I do”
…life changed forever
…our commitment was solidified
…a small church in the country took on a whole new meaning.
Five years ago, today seemed like forever in the future.
We have weathered some storms…
…survived injuries…
…cuts…
…disagreements…
…emotions…
…mountains and valleys.
We made a baby. OK, that part was fun.
Became adults.
And most importantly, no matter what has happened, we remain one another’s biggest supporters.
Kevin will tell you I am the rock.
I will tell you he is the one who gives me strength on Earth.
Five years ago seems like yesterday.
Hopefully five more will too, because time sure flies when you are having fun!
