I am happy that opinions and mindsets can be changed!
For a large portion of my life I have watched others in relationships and seen their joy. I have felt very much alone even when good friends surrounded me and an amazing family cared for me. I watched as couples held hands, kissed and displayed their love for each other. I watched with jealousy, I watched and became hurt.
Through study and words from others I changed the way I interpreted what I saw. Instead of feeling hurt I chose to change! If I wanted love in my life then I had to do something about it! What I decided from that moment was that I would not blame anyone else for my misery. The way we view and interpret something is our responsibility and ours alone. From this perspective I started a journey that led me to find something so precious and something I hold so sacred. I found and fell in love with Shelley.
Some may say our courtship has been short but I intend to continue it on into eternity. Some have asked how I know that I love Shelley. I know because of how I feel when I'm with her. I know because of how Shelley has helped me to grow. I know because of the joy Shelley brings to my life. I know because when I'm not with Shelley all I can do is think about her. I know because when I look into her eyes I feel peaceful, I feel as though I've always belonged with her. My words are not adequate enough to express how I feel.
I love the life I've been given and I am truely thankful for the blessing it is to have the opportunity to share my life with My One True Love, Shelley Woods.
