I remember singing this song in high school when I was first dating Ronnie B. What a gift life with my man has been throughout the past five decades. We are so blessed to still be one another’s person in so many ways. Life has unfolded and there have definitely been ups and downs throughout. But here we are at sixty-nine, forty-eight years of waking up together just like the song says. I remember even pretending to pay the mortgage and bills when I was a goofy teen. Here we are with the mortgage payments behind us and the truth is that although paying bills is not something I should have looked forward to, it is one piece of the journey.
In a week we will leave the home we have built and head out in our casita on wheels for at least a month. Whether at home or on the road, I am so thankful that we can say goodnight and stay together like the song foresees. This November, a month of gratitude, I am thankful for the life I have lived with my Ronnie B beside me and even the bills we still have to pay. Thankfully, I don’t have to sit down with a checkbook for most of them these days. In Him,
Joyful
