365 things to do in Worcester County - Celebrate your wedding anniversary in Holden Today, July 22, 2011, is a special day for me and my husband. Today we have celebrated our twenty first anniversary of the day we got married. Our daughters woke us up and presented us with a huge basket of gourmet goodies with a card that said that my husband and I are their role models.
We did not do anything out of the ordinary today. I went to open a home for a plumber, my husband changed the breaks on the van. I got my hair color and he watched a movie with our daughter. Many years we celebrate with a dinner or a week end get away. Not this year, we just saw each other periodically throughout the day, kissed and wished happy anniversary to each other.
I sit here writing my daily blog with such happiness and contentment that it almost brings tears to my eyes. In the times where fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, I consider myself lucky. We read an article years ago that stated that the reason some marriages end in divorce is people have delusions that they are marrying their soul mate and when they find out that this is not so, they end it. I remember us saying, but we did.
A soul mate is a person who will be your life long partner, someone who will finish your sentences or think the same thoughts. Someone who laughs at your jokes and makes you smile when he/she laughs. I know that there are reasons, real serious reasons why people brake up. But, when I went into this marriage, I went with the attitude that I don't divorce my brother or my parents, and I don't divorce my partner. After all, my partner is my best friend.
So today is my twenty first wedding anniversary. And if you are lucky, you too can make this one of your 365 things to do in Worcester County - Celebrate your wedding anniversary in Holden
P.S. Marriage is not a word, it's a sentence.
