milestones
Well, we reached another milestone (anniversary) this week. Nineteen years - whew! I acknowledge this accomplishment as many marriages don't survive and I can completely understand why. It is an uphill battle, especially of late, that takes hard work, commitment and constant compromise. I'm the compromiser in our relationship. HMM is always so uptight and angry lately-I'm sure you all know why after reading historical posts. There are days he is a ticking time bomb, just waiting for someone to push the button.

My son has a new girl he is interested in and they are going to the movies on Saturday - a group thing during the day. OMG, let the dating scene begin. I knew this day would come and it seems strange to me. He is a good boy though and we have raised him to be a gentlemen and respectful of all women.

I have to say, "what the hell is this world coming to"! I read other diary entries and compare to my own life and it seems that most are in a fair amount of turmoil and financial difficulties these days. I, like so many of you, have so much negative things happening it is hard to have a good outlook on life. When does all our struggling stop and the hard work and toughing it out down the long bumpy roads start to pay off? The economy and job market is truly in the shitter everywhere. I am thankful every day for having a job - at least for now - who knows what tomorrow will bring. It is high time we all started enjoying life and reaping the benefits of the hardwork we have done all these years! Does anyone have a clue on how to make that happen?
