There have been more changes this year than I have ever had, and the mirth of happy accidents have given me something I never thought I would find:  love.    Not simply love, mind you, but a head-over-heels, how was I ever so lucky to have the love of a man who has become not only my mate but my best friend?   This is one area in which I find it hard to make words, as I am so incredibly blissful and joyous.  As a writer, I am also a voracious reader, so I find that it is often comforting to find the words of others that reflect how I feel.  This is from a letter written by Zelda Fitzgerald to F. Scott Fitzgerald (1919):

If you should die  – O Darling – darling Scott – It’d be like going blind.  I know, I would, too, – I’d have no purpose in life – just a pretty – decoration.  Don’t you think I was made for you?  I feel like you had me ordered – and I was delivered to you – to be worn – I want you to wear me, like a watch-charm or a button hole bouquet – to the world.

When life has finally given you a person that makes you feel complete it is the most rewarding gift in the world.   I am ever so thankful.  2009 has wrought  the most amazing changes as I begin the next chapter of my life.  Happy Tuesday.
