Kiss Me

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

I am thankful for the kiss.

I would assume that the first kiss dates back to Adam and Eve. The act of kissing is mentioned throughout the entire Bible. Kisses of love, friendship, deceit, and betrayal are all recorded there. The only kisses that I am thankful for are those of love and friendship.

I doubt any of us remember our first kiss, much less the first one hundred because we most likely received that many from our parents by the time we were one week old.

What about that first romantic kiss we gave or received? I can’t say that I remember that one either but I must have liked it as I've not stopped kissing since. I do remember my first serious romance but again... not that first kiss.

I do however remember my first kiss from my wife Carol. 

I have to say I was really surprised by that kiss, she being pure, I assumed she practiced a lot with her pillow. 😘

I can not imagine a world without kisses nor would I want to live in a world without romantic/loving kisses.

The month of November has always been a month to reflect upon what we are thankful for and over many years I've posted many tributes but I wanted this one, my first thankful post of November 2024 to be unique but true. I thank  Debe Maxwell, CRS   for this years challenge. You can read others posts in regards to this challenge here .

Bob "RealMan" Timm - what a beautiful story about kisses, especially from the love of your life Carol. I have no recollection of a kiss or an I love you from my parents. I really do remember very vividly my first kiss and the last kiss I ever had.  

You are a lucky man!

Thank you Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP . My mom was big on kissing but I don't really remember my dad being a kisser. His mom, my grandma, lived with us and she liked kissing although it grossed me out back then.

HI Bob- what a sweet post! I thought of the old song by Jimmie Rodgers "Kisses Sweeter than Wine."

I doubt I ever will Carol Williams but like how I felt about my grandma's kisses I don't want to gross out my grandchildren 🤪.

Good morning and what a good thing to be thankful for! I don't remember "first kisses" from my parents obviously since I was so tiny, but first kisses of a romantic nature? Yes, remember!

I hate to admit it Kat Palmiotti but I don't even remember who I romantically kissed the first time.

Kisses are wonderful and it's been a while since I have received more than a peck, haha.

My heart goes out to you Brian England as I've never liked pecks unless it was from an acquainntances . A peck from a love interest is like a splash of cold water.

Hi Bob... what a lovely story about your first kiss with Carol. It brought to mind one of my favorite quotes about first kisses by Colin Tegerdine:

"Your first kiss is never just a kiss but a beautiful place you get to visit only once."
