It Was 20 Years Ago Today...
that my husband and I had our first date. We went out to dinner to celebrate and told our waiter what we were celebrating. He was surprised by our comment and asked if we actually remembered the date, because he has a difficult time remembering his last shift. I guess if his last shift was as memorable as our first date, he would never forget it.
For some reason, the 20 year anniversary of our first date is having an impact on me. I'm just finding it hard to believe that we've been together that long. That's a really long time don't you think? In this day and age even. I guess that I'm just really proud of us for sticking with it. It wasn't easy in the beginning, but things got better. We somehow managed to get our act together and are stable and prospering. No more drama, no more stress, our life is pretty low key and mellow. We've learned to let each other be who we are and we support each other in our desires and passions.
As an anniversary gift, my husband bought me a special toy. No, not THAT kind of toy! Jeeze...
He bought me an iPhone. Thank you honey, you know I love it. I love you too, more than you'll ever know.

Thought for the Day...
Blindness. There's a movie out right now with this title. Apparently a virus causes mass blindness. I don't know much more than that but it made me think. What would happen if every single person in the world became blind? How would we function? So many of the things we value would become unimportant. Money would be useless, how would we know what was being exchanged? How would we provide food and supplies to the whole world? Everything would have to become localized. We'd all have to learn to fend for ourselves, grow our own food, make our own clothes, protect ourselves. It would take some time to get used to but our other senses would learn to compensate for the loss of sight. Still, how many would survive? Would humans become extinct? Killed off by natural disasters, disease, animals, famine or each other? If humans did survive, would future generations adapt to the loss of sight and develop extreme senses of smell, hearing or intuition? I've only ever thought of what I would do if I became blind, but what about the whole world? Let me know what you think.
