Life is a funny thing. Ever changing, ever morphing from one emotion or situation to another. Sometimes the changes are quick, sometimes the changes are slow in taking shape and form.
This morning at work we were watching the weather reports and the report that the local power company was doing rolling blackouts across our part of the state with no warning for 15 to 30 minutes at a time. Suddenly shutting down an enterprise mainframe computer isn't an easy thing to deal with and will make grown men want to pull what little hair they have OUT. We were also trying to figure out why we had a sudden power outage in two areas of the state before we saw the news report about the rolling blackouts.
My cell phone rang. It was my wife, Randi. She had a need to vent about a private matter that didn't concern me but I was happy to listen to her and to offer her my support. After I listened to my wife, we got off the phone. About 20 minutes after we got off the phone I sent her a text message saying "I love you anyway"
We have been married just short of 14 years. I can't fix the rest of the world but I can offer my love on an unconditional basis, which is what "I Love you anyway" means....no matter what else is happening and no matter what life is throwing at you, I still love you.....
It wasn't a great day for either of us but we still have each other. I'm pretty happy about that.
