At our reception just after our wedding, a clergy spouse said essentially the same thing to me. As I stood in the "receiving line" she hugged me and said, 'enjoy this time--it's all down hill after this..."
One of my favorite moments from "All In The Family":
"Edith, how do you and Archie do it? How do you keep the magic in your marriage? When you and Archie are together, do you see fireworks? Is it like the Fourth of July?"
Ha!

Geez, on the rocks no less.
ReplyDeleteAll right, now. That's getting into the spirit of the moment.

Here today and gone tomorrow. If you can handle that, you're OK.
ReplyDeleteAs I have said more than once...the triumph of hope over experience.
ReplyDeleteAnd I should know...
Dark humor can really help in dark times (and sometimes in lighter ones). Let 'er rip.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet Doxy reminds us of that fragile yet persistent thing: hope.
Grace and light surround those struggling in dark places.
