ABC Wednesday - X is for eXtremely lucky in love

As you can tell, I haven't been online very much lately. That's because all my spare time is spent with my eX-boyfriend who is now my current boyfriend (and I use the term "boy" very loosely). When we were together all those years ago, we were really just kids, even though we were in our early to mid-20s, and we didn't know how to deal with difficulties or intrusions into our relationship. Now with the passage of time and having become mature in body, mind, and spirit, we find that we truly were meant to be together. That "je ne sais quoi" is still there and is even stronger than before. We don't worry about the fact that the hair may be whiter, the skin a bit saggy, and the eyesight weaker. We can see beyond that all the way to the heart and soul. Now that we've been given a second chance at love, we're going to make each day count. Every time we look into each other's eyes, we know how eXtremely lucky we are. As I took this photo, we joked about being at the crossroads of a new life together.
Thanks to Denise Nesbitt for hosting this weekly ABC Wednesday. As we approach the end of the alphabet for the third time, I am hoping that she'll continue to host it because it's fun and challenging to me to try to come up with something unique. Be sure to pop over to the special site for ABC Wednesday to see more photos and stories from people all over the world. You won't be disappointed.

  7. Oh, Leslie. I swear, this may sound sappy, but he came into your life for a reason. You must feel this, right?
    And I'd LOVE to take a walk along a path like this that has little benches to stop and take a break. This, to me anyway, is the perfect way to spend a day off.
    What a nice post to read!

  8. Aha! Another creative "X" - as a writer and editor, I felt a bit squeamish about using eX instead of X . . . . but gee, that letter was a stretch!

    Love this happy post.

    Blessings,
    Linda

    PS: I'm a gramma too - what fun.
