Cloud Nine

This last month has been filled with all the delights of courtship: movies, Conference, cuddling, dreaming under the weeping elm, Humor U (I could literally die...literally ;), Frisbee golf, leisurely strolls, holding hands, whacking gators at the nickel arcade, ice cream, making dinner, temple picnics, & the joy of just being together. I never knew I could be so happy. Part of me thinks that I'm just going to wake up one day & it'll all be gone because it was all a dream, one beautiful, blissful, drawn out illusion. If ever a human could rise off the ground & float through their existence, that human would be me right here, right now. If I could pinpoint an overarching emotion, I would select one that you might not be expecting: Gratitude. After 25 years of virtual singleness, I have received the fruit of my labors, a blessing beyond imagining, and all I can think to say is thank you. Thank you a million times, Dear Father.
