See-saw

My favorite playground toy as a child was the see-saw. I'm not sure why but I think it has something do with I was a part of the last generation to live with steel slides (just imagine how burned up my legs were in the hot Georgia sun during the summer. Ouch!). Reflecting on it though a see-saw really prepares you for adult life.

Post pubescant life is full of up's and down's. College, career, love and many other things. Mostly love though. I'm lucky to have a woman that I love very very much. Sappy I know but I don't care. When you reach my age you start to think about different things like who will be there for me when I have a bad day at work or just need a hug. I feel a sense of comfort and belonging even if we are far apart.

That's what true love is anyway isn't it. Knowing that no matter what there is someone there who truly cares about you and has no other agenda than to make sure that you are happy even if there are rough spots along the way.

I know it's true for me...
