Sure appreciate your good wishes. :)<br /><br />@Rhi- I am so sorry that your 15-year marriage didn't last, especially reading your descriptions of the good about him and the good times with him. It's a tragic story. <br />Not sure when I'll post a shot of my hair growing out. It's now out about 3 inches. The thing is that it's very dark with light gray strands mixed in. It's actually a darker color than what is growing out at the ends. Also, since I am now wearing braces my photos are kinda crazy right now!<br /><br />@Kathleen- Yes, both of us posting about solitude on the same day was fantastic! The photo of you and your husband that you use for your avatar sure shows the love. <br />Thanks for your good wishes for Mike and me.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-56847973433774933412009-09-03T19:57:34.014-07:002009-09-03T19:57:34.014-07:00Blessings to you and Mike.

Sorry I'm a bit late in making a comme...Lydia,<br /><br />Sorry I'm a bit late in making a comment here. I'm so happy for you and congratulations on your 14th year marriage of "soulmate and solitude". I wish my ex had understood my need for solitude more than he did. He was very outgoing and liked to be surrounded by people all the time. When our marriage fell apart and he hurt me so much and betrayed me..it did occur to me then and even now that my ex was not able to be "on his own" "in solitude"..he even admitted it to me way back when and had said that is what he most loved about me..being "okay" on my own with "me"...but alas things change as you know. I did feel so loved those 15 years of marriage..we really were soulmates and very connected..friends, lovers, the whole deal. He was the most comfortable person to be with in the whole world. I don't think I will find another soulmate again, but who knows?<br /><br />I am so happy that you and Mike continue on your journey of love and I celebrate with you in your happiness of togetherness! Please don't let other people intervene in your very special relationship. That's what my ex let happen. It destroyed everything.<br /><br />Oh, I'm sorry I made this a bit about me..this is about your celebration..<br /><br />HAPPY ANNIVERSARY dear friend..<br /><br />Love always,<br /><br />RhiRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533771985725095499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-27490971397320849772009-09-03T11:32:04.152-07:002009-09-03T11:32:04.152-07:00"Ta-da"!

Thanks for being here!<br /><br />@Distracted- Your sweet wishes mean a lot. Yup, "Ta-Da" now takes on splendid new meaning!<br /><br />@Looking to the Stars- You have your 16th approaching? That's wonderful; early congratulations to you!<br />What is it with in-laws, anyway? It's a long road getting to that reciprocal acceptance for who we are. We do much better in that department when we don't see them and communicate sporadically via email/cards. :)<br /><br />@Kim- Thanks for wishing us well on this day!<br /><br />@Riyadh- It's so fun for you to see these pictures of our beginnings! Thanks for the good wishes and the compliment (44 was a good age, and where I guess there's beauty in every stage of life, it's just not the same as we go along!). <br /><br />@Citizen of Earth- Secure. You used an important word in your comments, and I thought during the day about it. Thanks for seeing that from this post. <br /><br />@Darlene- I don't remember now how long you have been widowed, but I know it came after a long marriage. If anyone is qualified to speak to the hard work it's you. Thanks for your sage words. <br /><br />@Friko- Thanks for the sweetly musical thought for our anniversary!<br /><br />@The Sagittarian- Thank you for being here and for sharing a bit about your own challenges in 14 years (congratulations on your 'versary). Our problems, where much diminished, are also ongoing because they have never been flushed out from under the rock to wriggle out in the sun for us all to observe and squish together. *see my comment to Looking to the Stars :)<br /><br />@secret, fragile skies- Your lovely comments surely add to the depth of the day. Thank you so much. <br /><br />@Maggie May- I'm smiling to myself thinking about the kind of poem you'd undoubtedly pen for your anniversary. Rich, ripe, earthy, honest, sentimental, hopeful...all those things and more that many couples feel, but not everyone expresses.<br /><br />@Phivos- Thank you for being here to leave happy congratulatory wishes on our anniversary.
