forever young

i just ran across this photo the other day 

and i laughed out loud

here's the love of my life, Matt.

he was trying to make some point 

about the unnecessary abundance 

of fabrics and bags i've collected through the years

And I was reminded of my friend, Kate's advice 

to our other friend, Sarah, on her wedding day.  

her profound marital advice: be silly together, laugh often, have fun!

As people ask me, "how's married life?" 

or "are you enjoying married life?"

- - I always think I should have some profound response

or deep lesson or revelation I've learned

and i always draw a blank...

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -

but I agree with Kate, my advice is to laugh often

and have fun with each other.

dress up in each other's superfluous accessories 

and smile as you walk down the sidewalk together.
