Even though you say you don’t like surprises, I love the way your eyes light up when you get a good one.

Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too.
Lloyd Alexander, The Chronicles of Prydain (1964–1973), Book II: The Black Cauldron (1965), Chapter 8.

“States of profound happiness, like all other forms of intoxication, are apt to befuddle the wits; intense enjoyment of the present always makes one forget the past.”
-Stefan Zweig

Must be why I am dumb and forgetful when I am with you.

You give a lot, to me and everyone around you. Sometimes it might seem that some don’t appreciate it, but I do.

Silliness aside, I never thought I would have to walk through waist deep snow for firewood to keep you warm. But I would do it again.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but my wife is so delightful. 🙂
