The Dog Days Of Summer
It seems awfully early, but we must be in the dog days of summer or at least I am. Lately the days have been drifting by one by one. Slowly and methodically. The weather remains the same, routines remain the same, news events remain the same except that the names have changed. Each day seems to be a carbon copy of the day before except for subtle nuances. Routines can be like your favorite recliner....comfortable, safe and always there for you. This day I need to do this and that day I always do that. On and on it goes. Each day blends into the next one like the paint on an artist palette. I yearn for some sort of excitement. Something to break the methodical ticking of my clock as times slowly moves by. But for now, on this very moment, during this very day, I will surrender myself to these dog days of Summer, knowing that change will happen on its own time schedule and most likely when I least expect it. So at least for today, I will relax in that comfortable, safe recliner that is always there waiting for me. Oh yes, those dog days of Summer must be upon me. And to think that it is only June.
To Veronica On Our 12th Aniversary
Today Veronica and I celebrate our 12th Anniversary. From the beginning...nights when we spent hours upon hours on the telephone getting to know each other.....the night under the street light where I asked her where she had been all my life....through the ups and downs of life's journey that we have taken together...the good times and the bad...through tough medical scares....travels and sights that we have shared....nit picking at each other....laughing with each other and at times at each other...through everything that we have experienced....the happiness that you have brought me....to the renewal of our wedding vows while on our Alaskan cruise, I could not have picked a better friend, partner and wife. Thank you for the last 12 years and I am looking forwards to our future and all that we will share together as the hours, days, weeks, months and years go by. With all my respect, pride and love, now and in the future. Rick
