Brief Yet True

I just deleted a long post I wrote because it just seemed too personal even though that is something I don't usually shy away from.
Well, actually I struggle between what is too much and what is not enough more often than you'd think. Life is funny. We are every one of us human beings and as such, are fucked up in small ways and in big ways and we try so hard to protect ourselves from judgement, from revealing too much even as we have an innate desire to share and reveal.

I will just say this- on the eve of my thirty-fourth wedding anniversary I am giving a great deal of thought to how steadfastly my husband has stood beside me, a vastly imperfect woman who came to him with huge and sometimes seemingly insurmountable problems which arose from things which had happened that he had absolutely no responsibility for.
And yet, he took me on, he took them on with his whole huge heart and his whole huge desire to make things right.

And I love him so much that I can't begin to describe it.

Thirty-four years.

That's all for now.

Love...Ms. Moon

  6. Happy 34th Anniversary Eve! Our 30th will be in January, and with any luck we'll spend it in The Keys. I've been laid up in a cast or surgical boot for 2 1/2 months and am convinced I married a saint. He took me, baggage and all, and loves me anyway. I have bouts of depression, manic days and sleepless nights, and he loves me anyway. I believe that we are truly blessed to be loved anyway by Mr. Moon and Mr. Austin!

  16. Every time I see you say this, I think of the growing list of people who have needed to rid themselves of their connection to me, and I think of how truly special you are to inspire such commitment and devotion in your husband and family.

  17. I always admire how much of yourself you share on your blog. And I mean that in a good way. It's not oversharing at all. You are generous with us, your readers, just as you are generous with all your family members, and I admire that generosity so much.
