OUR BEST LAID PLANS


To say that a lot of our plans have been thwarted time and again is quite an understatement, isn't it? It's been said, and I do believe, that our plans are upset because there are bigger, better, although often more difficult plans laid down for us.

For instance...

all we wanted was to have a place of our own, we never planned for anything as nice as this, but we had it...

we never planned to go places together, the roads we took when we started were hard ones, but oh, the fun we've had...

we never planned to live elsewhere, all we aimed for was to keep the haven we had up in the hills, but look how far we've gone...

we always knew we wanted to live the good life, however vague that idea was to us before, but for a smokin', gulpin', chompin', roarin' punk to have cleaned up his act enough to be running marathons at midlife is something I bet we never planned for either...

And lastly...

I never planned for you in my life. How could I... I never knew the likes of you existed. But here we are...

and I certainly couldn't have planned it better than this...

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE!

I would have called it serendipity but knowing how determined and loyal you both are, I know nothing's ever going to go wrong.

Happy birthday kay bosing.

"It's in the simplest existence,in the humblest company and in the emptiest moments that I learned to appreciate what I had... and find happiness right where I was. I didn't have to reach far and dream big. One can only be as big as one sees oneself. The world will always be bigger still... and God, even more."
